[edit] Story
The Haydonites, or "The Children of the Shadow," are a cybernetic alien race that Admiral Hunter made an alliance with during the Robotech Expedition. They are the ancient enemies of the Invid who destroyed the first Invid homeworld. The alliance between the Haydonites and Admiral Hunter led to the incorporation of Shadow Technology in the Expeditionary Forces' mecha, though the alliance was kept secret from the bulk of the fleet. With the new addition of Shadow Technology, the Robotech Expeditioanry Forces were able to stage their third assault against the Invid-occupied Earth, finally chasing the Invid from humankind's homeworld.
Haydonite technology given to the Expeditioanry forces includes: the shadow-dimensional device (which conceals a protoculture power source), the syncro cannon, and the neutron-s missile. These technologies led to the construction of the Shadowfighter, an advancemnt of the earlier Alpha design.
Notable Haydonites include the android Janice, who is contructed from both Human and Haydonite technologies.
