Both the time setting as well as the CG animation of this project ensured that it would not resemble a sequel to any of the Tatsunoko Production licensed series.

In the trailer, the starship Corsair is commanded by Captain Noble with Lt. Suzy Kramer at the helm as they respond to a distress call on a mining planet.

They quickly lose communications with their landing party on the surface, composed of Brent Hawkins, Lorna Cassidy and the alien Arroq.

As the party works to re-establish communications with the Corsair, an unmanned mechanical excavator suddenly becomes sentient and attacks them, which they narrowly escape.

The trailer also featured returning cast members from the original Robotech series, including Richard Epcar, Rebecca Forsdadt, Edie Mirman, and Dan Woren.
