Edit
A fictional massive spacecraft from the Macross Science fiction series. It first appeared in the Macross 7 TV series from the 90s.
The City Class Spaceships are designed as the super-long-distance colonization vessels of the New Macross Class. These ships almost always remain docked to the Battle Class vessels except in time of battle when the carrier will detach from the power plant docking unit mounted at the fore of the City ship.
Inside the City Class ships is a fully functional 6 km long city of roughly 350,000 people beneath the main dome. Outside the main city dome there is docking bay island (approximately 300 meters long) and the event dome. The City ships are powered by a separate overtechnology reactor and even feature a basic space fold system for short-range interstellar travel.
The City Class ships have no weapons and the City ship docked with the first Battle Class, Macross 1, had no defensive system. However, later City Class ships are all designed with a defensive shell that covers the city section of the craft in times of emergency (though both the docking bay island and the event domes remain uncovered by the shell).
Perhaps the most distinguished ship of this class is the Macross 7 of the 37th long-distance colonization fleet that took part in the Protodeviln/U.N. Spacy War of 2045. The City class ships were eventually succeded by the Island class starships.
This ship was designed by Miyatake Kazutaka in the 90s.
