Macross Gigasion is a variable space carrier that appears in the Macross Δ Movie: Absolute Live!!!!!! theatrical film. It is the main flagship of Xaos' Listania branch, and is commanded by Captain Maximilian Jenius, then by Arad Mölders.
Description[]
The Macross Gigasion is a variable space carrier of the same class as the SDF/C-108 Macross Elysion, with two Enterprise-class space carriers attached as its arms. Each carrier also houses its own Macross Cannon. Inside the bridge, a large hole is designed to accomodate the advisor of the ship, Exsedol Folmo. Also, the wrap-around image monitor (panoramic monitor) can change every environment image according to the situation, as it is shown to have Windermere scene with Battle Astrea occupying the palace.
Unique to the Gigasion are its retractable wings (found on the Attack mode's knees), which provide its Cruiser form with enhanced maneuverability.

History[]
In 2068, the Macross Gigasion was tasked to ship parts for the VF-31X next-generation variable fighter to an undisclosed location, when it was diverted to Windermere to evacuate the members of Delta Flight and Walküre who were fighting off invading Heimdall forces. Macross Gigasion then stationed in one of abandoned Zentradi Factory Satellites to resupply and repair.
The Macross Gigasion would later become the flagship of the fleet, along with other Macross Elysion-class variable space carriers, participating in Operation Jormungand, a large-scale combat operation aimed at liberating Windermere from Heimdall control by destroying the Battle Astrea.
