Brief History: Max had been in a cockpit evr since he was old enough to use an arcade game. He went on to become an ace Veritech pilot in the RDF (Robotech Defense Force). Passing up all of his peers, past and present, he became the leader of the Veritech division of the REF (Robotech Expeditionary Force).

He is not only reknowned for his piloting skills; he was the first to be married to a Zentraedi, Miriya in this case. Not only that, they went on to have a child named Dana Sterling whom he left behind on Earth while Max and Miriya were on the REF. Soon, they were reunited when Dana and the rest of the 15th ATACS took Jonathan Wolff's ship to Tirol.
