3	The fourteenth instalment of the DarthWiki/PowerRangersRedverse written by Tropers/MadRedX12, using suit designs from Series/ChoujinSentaiJetman. Just recently, the planet Vyram was [[EarthShatteringKaboom destroyed]] by an unknown evil. Escaping their dead homeworld and desperately seeking a new place to live, the native [[AntiVillain Vylock]] race plan to [[FinalSolution set up residence on Earth the only way they know how - by wiping out the human race.]] Fortunately, there just so happens to be [[HeroesRUs a top-secret organization known as Birdonic]], operating from their headquarters beneath the surface of the moon, who are able to fend off the initial Vylock invasion force with their own [[TheHero Red Ranger, Jupiter]] - a hawk-like alien and [[LastOfHisKind last known survivor of the similarly destroyed planet Sabatine]], who was hatched and raised on the Birdonic Moon Colony. Acquiring Vylock technology to create new morphers (while also upgrading them to possess a lower electrical feedback so that a human to utilize them), they are soon able to locate four more Rangers to join them - [[TheSmartGuy Dexter Commons]], a [[TheCracker criminal computer hacker]] who discovered Birdonic's existance and was recruited into their organisation; [[TheBigGuy Petra Ako]], a OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent who was abducted by the Vylock to try and create a bioweapon to wipe out mankind but was rescued by Birdonic; [[TheLancer Cyrus Velder]], a loner with [[YourDaysAreNumbered an incurable condition]] who [[ConscienceMakesYouGoBack witnessed Petra's kidnapping and went to help]]; and [[TheHeart Yuki Lein Rokumeikan]], the [[HumanAliens almost-human]] princess of planet Rokumeikan, who was sent to Earth to keep her safe from the [[GreatOffscreenWar war]] occurring on her home planet and met Petra after crashing in a junkyard. Now united, this new team fights as the Sky Squad Power Rangers, fending off the Vylock invaders while along the way gathering new allies and slowly learning of [[TheManBehindTheMan a single person who has been manipulating events from behind the scenes with a horrible motive]].

5	!!The Sky Squad Rangers:
6	* '''Jupiter/[[red:Red Hawk Ranger]]''': TheHero, an alien resembling a combination of a human and a hawk and the [[LastOfHisKind last survivor]] of the planet Sabatine, which was destroyed by unknown causes fifteen years ago - he himself was hatched and raised on the Birdonic Moon Colony in a laboratory. [[UndyingLoyalty Deeply loyal to his friends]], he has lived with Birdonic all his life and thus has very little knowledge of life on Earth.
7	* '''Cyrus Velder/Black Condor Ranger''': TheLancer and resident SourSupporter. A AloofAlly who [[ConscienceMakesYouGoBack witnessed Petra's kidnapping and went to help]], leading to his recruitment. Because he has [[YourDaysAreNumbered an incurable disease known as Charon Syndrome]], he has given up on himself and become a DeathSeeker and adrenaline junkie who mainly focuses on the thrill of the battle.
8	* '''Dexter Commons/[[gold:Yellow Owl Ranger]]''': TheSmartGuy, a [[TheCracker paranoid criminal computer hacker]] who prior to discovering Birdonic's existance by hacking their computer networks and being recruited into them had not left his HackerCave [[BasementDweller in six months]]. Possessing TVGenius levels of intelligence, he's able to fix and repair even alien technology with ease.
9	* '''Petra Ako/[[blue:Blue Swallow Ranger]]''': TheBigGirl, a OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent who was abducted by the Vylock to be used as biological material to create a virus to wipe out human life but was rescued by Birdonic and joined them. [[GenkiGirl A bright, cheerful and energetic girl]], she tends to act as a [[CoolBigSis big sister]] to Jupiter and is initally Yuki's MoralityPet.
10	* '''Yuki Lein Rokumeikan/[[pink:White Swan Ranger]]:''' TheHeart, a [[HumanAliens almost-human]] princess of planet Rokumeikan who was sent to Earth to protect her from the GreatOffscreenWar occurring back home and befriended Petra after arriving, which led to her joining Birdonic. At first an extremely SpoiledBrat, but [[TookALevelInKindness soon grows out of it]] and into the role of TeamMom.
11	* '''Jeffrey Kensaki/[[green:Green Crane Ranger]]:''' The first SixthRanger, a guitarist for a rock band whose home was transformed into a monster and during the rescue ended up FallingIntoTheCockpit of the Icarus Megazord, where he found the unused Green Sky Morpher, which he activated, forcing Birdonic to take him in. [[NaiveNewcomer Naive]] and [[DorkKnight awkward]], he is initially TheLoad but soon develops into an effective warrior.
12	* '''Sabatine/[[gray:Silver Eagle Ranger]]:''' The second SixthRanger, an alien warrior of the planet Dimensia, which was recently destroyed by presumably the same force that attacked V-8. [[DarkAndTroubledPast Losing everything in his home's destruction]], he came to Earth with only a magical sword that allows him to transform and decided to protect the planet in the hopes of that it may allow him to find the answers to what's destroying planets.
13
14	!!Their Allies are:
15	* '''Commander Sara:''' The BigGood and the pilot of the Tetrazord. The leader of Birdonic who took the role of ParentalSubstitute to Jupiter to make sure he wouldn't antagonise humans and to [[TheLostLenore fill the void from losing her own son]].
16
17	!!And they're up against:
18	* '''Valtrex:''' The BigBad and the [[PresidentEvil elected leader]] of the Vylock, who intends to wipe out the human race to provide his species a new place to live on after their home planet was destroyed.
19	* '''Vipera:''' Valtrex's wife and TheDragon.
20	* '''Quadrant:''' The EvilGenius, a RoboticPsychopath built by the Vylock from parts they found during their first scouting mission on Earth.
21	* '''Raguem:''' TheBrute, a vampire-like EnigmaticMinion of Valtrex's who was apparently made by Tranza for the invasion of Earth. [[spoiler:She's actually Cyrus's missing sister Rani, abducted, empowered and brainwashed by Tranza.]]
22	* '''Insectomom:''' One half of a MakerOfMonsters duo, Vipera's "pet" who produces insect-like offspring from her egg sac that are then used to create the Vylock's monsters.
23	* '''Tranza:''' The evil TagalongKid and other half of the MakerOfMonsters duo using Insectomom's children and random objects. [[spoiler:Later goes [[TheStarscream Starscream]] and becomes the FinalBoss whilst revealing his origins.]]

28	* HomeBase: The Birdonic Moon Colony for the Rangers, the Donum Tenebri space ark for the Vylock.

41
42	!!Tropes specific to Sky Squad:
43	* AdaptationalNationality: Aside from the Rangers and all the other supporting characters being westerners instead of Japanese, the Vylock and their allies are all natives to this universe, as opposed to the Vyram, who were all extradimensional invaders.
44	* AdaptationalNiceGuy:
45	** [[AntiVillain Valtrex]] is the biggest example of this in the series, not that it takes much to be nicer that Radiguet. He has [[WellIntentionedExtremist semi-sympathetic motives]], has [[NobleDemon a sense of honour]], [[WorthyOpponent respects the Rangers as foes]], and is [[AffablyEvil a pretty friendly guy to be around otherwise]].
46	** Among the Rangers, [[TheLancer Cyrus]] is the biggest example. While he can still be a jerk, he lacks much of Gai's [[DesignatedHero pre-development personality]], namely his drug abuse and misogynistic traits.
47	* AscendedExtra: Insectomom's ''Jetman'' counterpart, Dimensional Bug Mother, was a MonsterOfTheWeek who was killed off by the second episode, while the former is a major villain who survives the events of the first battle and continues to produce more insects that the Vylock use to continue creating their creatures.
48	* LawOfChromaticSuperiority: Jupiter gets his own jeep, the Jet Striker, and the Eagle Armour Battlizer. His Zord is also the largest of the group's, and he's also the only one of the core five to have superpowers out of his Ranger form (that being gliding and limited flight).
49	* MegatonPunch: Jupiter's Flying Eagle Fist attack.
