The Salvage Ship was a small recovery spacecraft used by the Zentradi forces. As a non-combat unit, it was equipped with two pairs of manipulator arms and a large booster that could provide sufficient thrust when hauling a large object. During Space War I, the Zentradi initiated an operation in November 2009 to capture several humans for study. After engaging the Macross’ Vermilion Team, a Salvage Ship grappled onto a damaged ES-11D Cat’s Eye and returned it to Britai Kridanik’s Nupetiet-Vergnitzs command ship.
