Global, Bruno J.

ブルーノ・J・グローバル

Prior to commanding the Macross, Misa Hayase's father served as Global's commanding officer during the U.N. Wars. He captained the U.N. Navy submarine Marco Polo and the UN Spacy Oberth-class space destroyer Goddard. The Goddard engaged and destroyed the hijacked sister ship Tsiolkovsky, marking the first real-world use of reaction weaponry in ship-vs-ship space combat during the U.N. Wars. Bruno J. Global advanced through the ranks of the United Nations Forces due to his exploits in the Unification Wars, until he was appointed Captain of the infant Spacy's flagship, the SDF-1 Macross fortress.
During the skirmishes of Space War I, Global devised various strategies to evade the Zentradi rather than attacking them directly, receiving some assistance from First Lieutenant Misa Hayase. The most tragic incident under his command occurred when the Macross's ill-fated omnidirectional barrier collapsed, destroying a large city in the Ontario region. This event widened the rift between him and the U.N., resulting in the Macross's temporary exile from Earth. Eventually, when Milia Fallyna of the Lap Lamiz fleet defected to the Macross and expressed a wish to marry Maximilian Jenius, Global granted them permission, thereby taking the first genuine step toward peace with the Zentradi.
Following Space War I, he assumed an administrative role in the U.N. Government and designed the Human Emigration Project. This space colonization scheme was pursued by the U.N. in subsequent years to ensure the survival of humanity and its culture in the event of further appearances by Zentradi and Supervision Army fleets. Within the Macross continuity, he became an admiral and commander of the U.N. Spacy after the battle against Boddole Zer. He survives the Macross series to serve as U.N. Representative in 2014 A.D., and retires from the Spacy as a full Admiral.
