The VF-25 Messiah is a fictional space-capable variable fighter, seen in the anime Macross Frontier (set in the year 2059 A.D.) of the Macross series. The craft was developed on board the space colonization fleet Macross Frontier from the YF-24 Evolution prototype whose blueprint was delivered via the Galaxy Network. Within the series, it has not been officially rolled out, rather being distributed to the private military company S.M.S. (Strategic Military Services) to evaluate its performance under field conditions first.
According to the June 2008 issue of Newtype, the name "Messiah" is taken from the lyrics of the Lynn Minmay song "Shao Pai Long (Little White Dragon)" from the original Macross series.
This fictional variable fighter was designed by anime creator and mecha designer Shoji Kawamori.
