The only daughter of Admiral Donald Hayes, Lisa Hays is the first officer of the Super Dimensional Fortress One, serving under Captain Henry J. Gloval, and with fellow bridge officers Claudia Grant, Kim Young, Sammy Porter, and Vanessa Leeds (the later three sometimes referred to as "The Bridge Bunnies"). In December 2022, Lisa, now at age 37 and an Admiral of the fleet, takes command of the SDF-3, flagship of the Robotech Expeditionary Force; which, is about to depart after 8 years under construction. The mission's primary goal was to find the Robotech Masters and forge a peace in order to prevent another catastrophic war on Earth. On the day before the SDF-3 launches, Lisa and Rick finally married in a huge wedding ceremony attended by all of their friends onboard the Zentraedi Factory Satellite. Lisa's one-time rival for Rick's affections, Lynn Minmei sings. Although they hoped the mission would be over quickly, events would keep the SDF-3 away from Earth for the next 22 years.
