If you don't buy the first RPG book, you should get this one. It has all the information you need to create a character, play the game, or be a GM. Its not quite as complete as the first book, but it is sufficiant. The only problems are the few instances where statistics are slightly wrong or missing, such as the size of the MTA Titan, which has wheels 100ft wide, not the whole thing being 100ft wide and also there is no Haydonite RCC even though there is an entire planet of them. The only other problem is that there is almost no mention of the Robotech Masters, even though the SDF-3 mission was to make peace with them. Fortunately this is made up for with the information on the REF and the invid. A good starting book if you don't intend to play Macross or Southern Cross.

Although the character classes, skill sets, and most of the mecha presented here are reprints from prior RPG books, the rest of the content however, is unique and only found in this book. The Sentinel aliens are now included as playable characters, in addition to REF ships and new (unique) REF mecha, as well as the Regent with his brand of Invid. Unfortunately, this book lacks background information, so knowledge of the DelRey novels is a must. Only get this book for its new content or as a core rulebook.
