Macmartin Island was a small island located off Macross Island. Following the crash of the SDF-1 on Macross the United Earth Government set up a military testing facility on the island. Roy Fokker was sent to Macmartin Island to be the test pilot for the Valkyrie Project under the command of Colonel T.R. Edwards. However, due to the classified nature of the project Fokker could not tell anyone where he was serving. (Comic: "Robotech: From the Stars 2: Call to Duty")
