Editing Robotech (section)

===The Third Robotech War===
Invid divisions break away from the Tirolian war and invade Earth, crushing the devastated Earth military and conquering the planet. Soldiers are sent back to Earth from the expeditionary fleet to try and liberate their homeworld from the Invid... twice. Both times end in a devastating defeat for the Robotech Expeditionary Forces and leave the Earth devastated and depopulated. Survivors of the liberation forces go to ground and try to maintain a guerrilla war, eventually finding some success as the Invid become distracted with the possibilities offered by the Flower of Life and human DNA. Eventually, the Invid evolve into energy-based lifeforms that leave the Earth rather than allow it to be destroyed by a vengeful Robotech Expeditionary Force, who have returned with powerful new weapons and are willing to obliterate the Earth than allow it to remain under Invid control.
