Tirol (fictional planet)

In the fictional Robotech universe, Tirol is the homeworld of the Robotech Masters and their bioengineered Zentraedi troops. Tirol is a moon of the giant, mineral rich world Fantoma in the Valivarre star system.

Template:Spoiler Tirol was the seat of power of the Robotech Masters Empire. After the Zentraedi failure to capture the SDF-1, and the inminent invasion by the Invid, the Masters depart with their massive spacefortresses towards Earth, in hope to capture the last supply of Protoculture in the known universe to be able to make a stand against the Invid, this being totally unknown to Earth's forces. What was left after the Masters departure was easily overtaken by the war-inspired Invid. When the Robotech Expeditionary Force arrived at Tirol, the Masters had already departed, leaving behind the old, young, infirm, and incomplete clone triumvirates, who were uncapable of defending against the Invid aggresssions. After being liberated by the Robotech Expeditionary Force, these Tirolians would establish a successor government to the Masters (who were destroyed in the Second Robotech War), designed after Earth-based democracies.

Outside of the show's storyline, the planet is named after the state of Tirol in Austria.
