55th (Super) Long Distance Colony (Emigtant) Fleet was a colonization fleet lead by the 25th New Macross-class vessel, the Macross 25. Launched in from Earth in 2041 and commanded by Howard Glass, it became involved in the Vajra War. The long journey of a colonization fleet, which can take many years, means that it will be composed of many ships. All vessels are capable of faster-than-light travel ("space fold").
