In the decanonized Jack McKinney novel "Rubicon" (book 17 of the Robotech series), Dana, Louie Nichols, Bowie Grant, Angelo Dante, Sean Phillips, Marie Crystal, Musica and Allegra acquire Jonathan Wolfe's ship, travel to Tirol, and meet up with the Robotech Expeditionary Forces in 2033.

In the original Robotech timeline (on which the Sentinels and the Jack McKinney novels were based), Dana was born in 2013 and the SDF-3 departed in 2020, meaning that Dana was aged 7 years at the time.
•
In the decanonized book "Southern Cross" (book 7 of the series) by Jack McKinney, Dana's childhood is depicted as being very difficult after her parents left with the REF mission in 2022.
•
However, the decanonized Jack McKinney novel "The Devil's Hand" (book 13 of the Robotech series) states that Dana, as the only child of a Human-Zentraedi union (who had been studied, tested, and evaluated since birth), she was judged by Professor Lazlo Zand as too valuable to risk going with the REF.
The canonical status of Aurora Sterling, who is a character in the decanonized Jack McKinney novels, is unknown, although it has been suggested that Maia is meant to replace Aurora in the rebooted Robotech timeline.
In the Jack McKinney novel Force of Arms (book five of the series) Miriya, who had never even heard of, let alone experienced, physical intimacy before, later reflects on this experience: "kissing was still an amazing thing to her; lovemaking left her at a complete loss for words."
•
In the decanonized book "Force of Arms" (book 5 of the series) by Jack McKinney, Miriya's giving birth to Dana is all the more extraordinary because nobody could figure out how Max and Miriya had been able to conceive a child since no Zentraedi male-female reproduction had ever been recorded.
This group was further joined by associate writers, Judith Wright, James Devaney, Jack McKinney and Val Vallis.
Although the Jack McKinney novels (books 13-17) details the exploits of the REF, they have been reduced to Secondary continuity in the Robotech Saga in 2002 and are no longer considered reliable in the rebooted Robotech timeline.
