Team name:

SPD - Sirian Planetary Defenders<br /> 

Era:

In a timeline where the villainous Weirdan ruled the Earth in the name of Daizayten.

History

While the rest of the galaxy was struggling to contain the threat posed by Daizayten, the people of the planet Sirius had been honour bound to aid the planet Earth, which had given them hope as the tales of that world's struggle against Weirdan reached them. Under the leadership of Commander Anubis Cruger, SPD was established on Earth with the goal of ending Weirdan's tyranny and Daizayten's hold on Earth.

A-Squad

A-Squad was the first team to have permanent powers within the SPD army. Created using an old Ranger template, their armour was updated by the addition of solid sections of body armour. Before their selection to be Ranger, A-Squad was a special commando unit responsible for taking down some of Weirdan's watch towers and breaking the drones' coordination system.

Raymond, Red A-Squad Ranger

Raymond was originally from Angel Grove before the arrival of Daizayten. He had been captured during the early days of the invasion, but had been broken free by Justin and Adam during their rampage against the Empire. After finding his way to the Resistance, Raymond worked on sabotaging enemy lines of communication. It was his leadership during the assault on a watch tower that had pinned down SPD forces though that brought him to the attention of SPD leadership.
Raymond is an explosives expert, a gift that makes his useful in demolition operations and in situations where a grenade could save the team hours of fighting.

Taylor, Yellow A-Squad Ranger

Raised on a farm in the Oklahoma, Taylor's family was spared the horror of the first few weeks of warfare. It was after, when Weirdan's forces were securing their hold on the planet, that the farm was destroyed along with its occupants. Taylor had been in the cellar at the time and was still there when a small group of escaping refugees happened across the property. After joining the Resistance, Taylor was placed under Raymond's command. It was her courage under fire that led to her promotion to Power Ranger.
Years on the farm helped give Taylor a great deal of strength. She is a skilled combatant and best utilised when asked to protect another member of the team.

Regis, Green A-Squad Ranger

Regis was not on Earth when Daizayten was first summoned. He arrived later as part of the alien force seeking to aid the Resistance. Initially posted as an advisor he was forced to take a more active role when his predecessor was killed in action. By taking up the mantle of Green Ranger, Regis proved to be the experienced marksman that the team needed.
Normally the first in or the last man out, Regis's role often keeps him from playing the well oiled machine role in his team. His objective is always to ensure that nobody is left behind, even if that requires him to disobey a direct order.

Vicanta, Blue A-Squad Ranger

A genius when it comes to building new machines, this young man is even better at finding ways to destroy them. Born in the Little China area of Angel Grove, Vicanta was injured in the blast that robbed him of his family. The Resistance helped him recover from his injuries, but it was fighting back against the monster that had ended his world, that helped his mental scars. Although his recruitment to the A-Squad was only supposed to last for one mission, his improvisation was so impressive that Raymond asked for him to be permanently assigned to his command.

Mandi, Pink A-Squad Ranger

One of the few successful attempts to reverse the process that turned humans into Daizayten's horde, Mandi was treated with suspicion and hostility when she entered the Resistance. Even her own team objected to her placement on A-Squad, questioning her loyalty even though she saved their lives during her first mission. Only the complete faith of Commander Cruger and his staff have ensured her continued service as a Power Ranger.

B-Squad

While A-Squad served an important role during the early days of SPD's drive to break Daizayten's hold on the planet, breaking down the Empire's infrastructure, B-Squad had the equally important task of protecting civilians mounting raids on Weirdan's resources. The first team to be made using new technology, the B-Squad resemble the Rangers of old.

Fred Kellman, Red B-Squad Ranger

A resident of Angel Grove and friend of the Power Rangers, Fred saw many of his friends die. He joined the Resistance and helped to fight back against Weirdan and his master Daizayten. When the opportunity came he volunteered to be a part of the B-Squad, believing that his duty was to protect those that wanted to fight back but were too weak to do so.

Tasha Young, Yellow B-Squad Ranger

B-Squad's resident hacker in the days before Daizayten came to Earth she was happy to hack into bank computers. When she joined the Resistance she used her skills to forge identity documents. When offered the chance to make a difference as a Ranger, she agreed.

Matt Corbett, Blue B-Squad Ranger

Some say that Matt is a little odd, perhaps outright strange. Those people have no idea that the oddness is just an act to cover the fact that Matt is without a shadow of a doubt insane. In the months between the mysterious Nate Oliver's defeat of Weirdan and the formation of B-Squad, Matt was captured by enemy forces and tortured to the point of madness. Matt survived, killing the guards and destroying his former prison. Seeing that the thought of hurting the enemy gave Matt enough focus to appear lucid, Commander Cruger gave him the position of Blue Ranger.
Despite his mental state Matt is a technical genius, creating devices that rival those of Kat Manx. It is said that the line between genius and madness is very thin. Most of those that know him believe that Matt is constantly crossing that line.

Franklin Park, Green B-Squad Ranger

Brother of the former Green Ranger although he had no idea of that until months after becoming a Ranger himself. Franklin was trained to fight by his father, a tough policeman who loved his kids. He is a keen strategist and helps to curb the more hotheaded members of his team.

Anna Diamond, Pink B-Squad Ranger

Anna is a survivor and has done everything in the name of survival. Even the missions she took for the Resistance were motivated by her desire to stay alive. So when offered a morpher that would protected her where body armour would not, she accepted. Despite her outlook on life and tendency to only show enthusiasm where she stands to gain, there can be no question of her courage or loyalty; she believes Doggie Cruger will keep her alive and is not willing to betray him and risk losing that protection.

C-Squad

C-Squad are the heavy hitters, taking out targets inside the Cult of Amuk. Heavily armed this team has been training for the day when they get to nail the demon lord himself. Due to the large amount of energy needed to sustain their specialised armour, C-Squad is prevented from undertaking day-to-day duties. That C-Squad's members are mostly mutant hybrids born from liaisons between the Ransik's forces and modern day humans, makes them valuable players in the war.

Jack Manners Red C-Squad Ranger

Not everybody left homeless during Weirdan's rule had the opportunity to get to the Resistance. Jack was only a child at the time of the first attacks and was captured after his family were killed. Too young to be of use to Daizayten's minion, but not considered a threat, Jack was kept in a concentration camp where he later met Z. The two children bonded, classing themselves as family and surviving the harsh regime.
When he was thirteen Jack's powers awakened, allowing him to escape along with Z. The two were looking for a place to lay low, but instead stumbled upon an SPD site. Instead of sending them away, Commander Cruger trained them to be a part of his C-Squad, recognising their gifts as an asset.
Jack has the ability to phase through solid matter. However his gift is only usable when he is unmorphed.

Z Manners, Yellow C-Squad Ranger

Not everybody left homeless during Weirdan's rule had the opportunity to get to the Resistance. Jack was only a child at the time of the first attacks and was captured after his family were killed. Too young to be of use to Daizayten's minion, but not considered a threat, Jack was kept in a concentration camp where he later met Z. The two children bonded, classing themselves as family and surviving the harsh regime.
After Jack helped her to escape, the pair were pursued across the country. Outnumbered and desperate, Z's abilities kicked in, allowing the pair to escape. The two were looking for a place to lay low, but instead stumbled upon an SPD site. Instead of sending them away, Commander Cruger trained them to be a part of his C-Squad, recognising their gifts as an asset.
Z has an ability to create multiple copies of herself.

Bridge Russell, Green C-Squad Ranger

Every team needs a hacker and for SPD, Bridge provides that role. Injured during the destruction of Washington, Bridge was thought to be fatally wounded. This was proven wrong when his wounds healed. After his release he joined the newly formed SPD army and was eventually selected to serve as a Ranger.
Bridge has a unique healing factor that will allow him to recover from most wounds. He is not however invulnerable and if dealt an immediately fatal blow, will not survive.

Sky Blake, Blue C-Squad Ranger

Sky's father was one of the first new Rangers recruited by SPD. During a failed attack on a convoy Sky's father stayed to protect those without powers. He was lost when his morpher ran out of energy. His execution still haunts the Blue Ranger.
Angered that his father had been allowed to die, Sky forced his way into SPD Command with the intention of confronting the alien he blamed for the fiasco. Instead he listened as Commander Cruger explained his father's heroic actions and in memory of the man he had lost, he agreed to serve as a Ranger.
Sky possesses the ability to create forcefields, both defensive and offensive.

Sydney Cole, Pink C-Squad Ranger

Rich, powerful, beautiful and influential; Syd had everything a child could want until the day Daizayten arrived. On that day her world of comfort ended and she was forced to live in the sewers, hiding from the invading army. It was while running from a Drone patrol that she discovered her gift. By the time SPD's B-Squad arrived she had already destroyed her attackers. She was taken to SPD Command against her will and offered the role of Pink Ranger.
Were it possible to win the war with a bad attitude alone, Sydney would be the ultimate weapon. Since it's not possible, she is just a thorn in the side of Commander Cruger. However her ability to absorb the properties of a material make her invaluable on missions, providing she's not too busy worrying about her nails.

D-Squad

When he came to Earth Commander Cruger was determined to aid the human fight to regain their planet, but not to fight the battle for them. To this end he created D-Squad, formed from those Rangers he brought with him. They are the spearhead for the fight against Weirdan and through him, Daizayten, but it is the A, B and C Squads that the enemy fears.

Commander Doggie Cruger, Anubis Ranger

When the Galactic Council fell, so did it's police force. Commander Cruger returned to his home world of Sirius and joined the fight against the occupying army on Earth. When word reached him that Weirdan had been bested, Cruger travelled to Earth to help in the fight to regain the planet. On Earth he was given a morpher and joined the ranks of the Power Rangers as their leader.
Cruger is a skilled combatant even without his powers. With them he has the means to bring down all but the most powerful opponent. Against those he knows the one thing all Rangers need: teammates.

SOPHIE, Nova Ranger

SOPHIE is an artificial human built on a distant world and originally intended to serve as Commander Cruger's body guard. When it was proven that she could use a morpher and that doing so would require less energy than a human wielder, she was made SPD's Nova Ranger.

Lance Hill, Omega Ranger

Lance was a thief who stole his powers from Daizayten himself. Having found the morpher he tried to use it, not understanding the unexpected side effect; the Omega Morpher requires a large amount of energy to function, a problem resolved by absorbing the near nuclear explosion of transforming the wielder from matter to energy. As a result Lance is trapped as a ball of light when unmorphed. Lance joined SPD's cause on the grounds that once Daizayten was defeated they would find a way to reverse the process. Of course that means that first he must help defeat Weirdan.
Lance's powers combined with his physical state allow him greater control over his Ranger form than the other Rangers. He can not only channel more energy, but can determine where that power is directed, be it to physical strength or speed and agility. His existence as a ball of energy makes him an ideal scout.

Boom, Gold Ranger

An assistant to Kat Manx, Boom saved the lives of his Resistance Cell in the days following Weirdan's defeat. After exhibiting the technical skills needed to assure victory he was deemed too valuable not to be given the means to defend himself.
Boom uses a standard one way morpher that he has modified to express his independence. This has made him both the most versatile and most unreliable Ranger in D-Squad.

Kat Manx, Cat Ranger

Kat Manx was on Earth before Weirdan suffered defeat, serving as a scientific adviser for the Resistance. Before that she had witnessed the evil of Weirdan's master first hand when Daizayten attacked her world. Unofficially she was also sending updates to Commander Cruger, allowing him to choose the time to lend his assistance to the people of Earth.
Cat Ranger uses a standard one hour morpher developed for the Resistance. She has overtime modified the template inside the morpher so that it works better with her anatomy.**THIS IS THE END OF THE FILE**
