Brink, Jennifer U.N. service number 900816-1284

After a youth spent racing dirt bikes and repairing agricultural machinery, Jenny was itching to get out of the mud and into the sky. With the unification wars still ongoing, she signed up with the U.N. military to earn her wings, and ended up spending a year or two flying strike missions against anti-U.N. forces in an F-14+ Super Tomcat. 

When her CO offered her a spot on the SDF-1 Macross, flying one of the brand new VF-1 Valkyrie variable fighters, she leapt at the chance, and ended up spending the first half of Space War 1 as part of Strike Wing Amber. Following Amber Wing’s decimation during a particularly harrowing run against what should have been an isolated Zentradi vessel, Jenny was grounded pending psych eval, and ended up unofficially joining the VF-1 service crews, keeping herself busy with maintenance and repair work to keep her mind off the shell shock.

A chance encounter with Zentradi defector Milia Jenius while working on the latter’s assigned VF-1J saw Jenny back on the flight roster as part of Milia’s own flight wing, flying as Milia-2 at least throughout the remainder of Space War 1 as well as the Zentradi uprising some two years after.
