In 2006, Armor-1 was taken over by members of the Anti-Unification League led by Shawn Arnold. The hijackers took the ship out of its shipyard and destroyed Antarctic Base using its Reflex Weapons. They then set a course to attack Macross Island and then Alaska Base. After the SDF-1 launched from Macross Island Armor-10 joined up with Armor-1 to rendezvous and dock with the larger ship but was prevented from doing so by a massive bombardment by the Zentraedi fleet.
