The Mardook Carrier was a massive mobile fortress that served as the command center for Mardook’s Lord Emperor Ingues. It was reminiscent of the Zentradi Gol Boddole Zer mobile fortress, particularly in that Ingues was also biologically integrated with his fortress. The Carrier’s armaments included three large guided focusing beam cannons and many beam guns. It was also armed with an energy irradiation device, which could fold an energy bubble across large distances and destroy friendly ships as punishment for becoming poisoned by alien ideologies. In 2092, Ingues commanded an invasion of Earth, and the Mardook forces eventually advanced all the way into Earth’s atmosphere. The Carrier destroyed the recently reactivated Macross, which the Emulator Ishtar believed was a legendary Mardook ship. Ingues’ penchant for destroying friendly ships for perceived cultural contamination eventually caused the Mardook fleet to turn their weapons on him, resulting in the Carrier’s destruction.
