Overview

MAC Logo
MAC is a defense team which succeeded the Earth Defense Force (地球防衛隊 Chikyū Bōei-tai). The series' main setting is the Asia branch of MAC, but whereas there are multiple MAC operation bases on Japan, Dan Moroboshi commanded the Space Patrol Team (宇宙パトロール隊 Uchū Patorōru-tai).
MAC is one of the most radically different Ultra support teams. As mentioned above, the captain is Dan Moroboshi, who is Ultraseven deprived of his ability to transform. Members get killed off and replaced with frightening rapidity. To top it all off, MAC (specifically all of the Asian headquarters) gets annihilated mid-series (episode 40). There are bases in orbit above North and South America, Africa, and Northern Europe, the Japanese one had been destroyed. This is in addition to numerous land-based bases as well.
Base

The MAC Station (MACステーション MAC Sutēshon) is the flying base of MAC.
