Lisa Hayes - Robotech Expeditionary Force

Robotech Expeditionary Force

In December 2022, Lisa, now at age 37 and an Admiral of the fleet, takes command of the SDF-3, flagship of the Robotech Expeditionary Force (REF) to which is about to depart after eight years under construction. The mission's primary goal is to find the Robotech Masters and forge a peace in order to prevent another catastrophic war on Earth. On the day before the SDF-3 launches, Lisa and Rick are finally married in a huge wedding ceremony attended by all of their friends on board the Zentraedi Factory Satellite. The wedding ceremony can be seen in Robotech II: The Sentinels. Lisa's one-time rival for Rick's affections, Lynn Minmei, eventually makes peace with the officer well enough to volunteer to sing at her wedding. Dana Sterling, now aged 10, serves as a flower girl and Bowie Grant, Claudia Grant's nephew, serves as the ring bearer. Breetai, the former ruthless Zentraedi warlord turned ally, (who has now been micronized) gives away the bride, while Max Sterling is the best man. The wedding is the happiest day of their lives even though their honeymoon lasts only a few hours as they must be ready for the SDF-3 to launch early the next morning. Although they hope the mission will be over quickly, events will keep the SDF-3 away from Earth for the next 22 years.
