!!Zachary Foxx
[[quoteright:299:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Zachary_Foxx_7656.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JerryOrbach (English), Creator/JoseLavat (Latin-American Spanish)
TheHero and the team {{Leader}}, a family man whose by-the-book personality contrasts with his more freewheeling teammates. A space battle left Zach a {{cyborg}} with an implant-triggered ArmCannon. It also led to a tragic FateWorseThanDeath for his beloved wife Eliza; she's trapped in a [[ConvenientComa "psychic coma"]], with her mind in a [[SoulJar "psychocrystal"]], a fiendish device the Queen uses to power Empire technology with LifeEnergy. Zach is obsessed with rescuing Eliza, which he never accomplishes during the series (although FanFic authors have SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong). Zach's teenage children, Zach Jr. and Jessica, are recurring characters who star in a few DayInTheLimelight episodes.
----
Tropes associated with Zach:
* ArmCannon: Zach's energy-blasting "Thunderbolt".
* ByTheBookCop: Compared to the other Rangers. [[NotSoAboveItAll Usually.]]
* TheCaptain: He has the rank and the leadership position in the field.
* TheChainsOfCommanding: Though to a lesser extent than Walsh, he still has the heavy responsibilities of leading the team.
* {{Cyborg}}: The entire left side of Zach's body had to be replaced.
** EmergencyTransformation[=/=]WeCanRebuildHim: How Zach became a {{cyborg}}.
* AFatherToHisMen[=/=]TeamDad (in lighter moments)[=/=]PapaWolf (if you're dumb enough to push your luck): If you harm his kids ''or'' his Rangers, you're target practice.
* HappilyMarried: To Eliza, in the BackStory--which makes her FateWorseThanDeath even more tragic.
* HeartbrokenBadass: He may or may not count as one of these - he is understandably upset about his wife getting her soul stuck in a psycho-crypt after all.
* LoveMakesYouCrazy: When it looked like Eliza would die in "Psychocrypt," he does some really irrational things like holding a technician at gunpoint and trying to resign his commission to make a suicidal attempt to get her crystal. The Queen's MindRape wasn't helping matters.
* PerpetualFrowner: And no wonder--he has the unenviable task of keeping his crew alive, raising his kids alone, and adjusting to experimental cyberware.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Zachary could be seen as this. He'll follow the rules to a point so long as it actually makes sense, but if a situation requires a little improvisation he's not going to waste time arguing over it.
* RousingSpeech: He provides an epic example in "Heartbeat":
-->"Commander, there's a man on that planet by the name of Hartford, trying to save the Tarkonians, and you, and me, and everyone who doesn't want to be a ''slave'', pilgrim."
* SeanConneryIsAboutToShootYou: During the TitleSequence, as shown in the pic above.
* TheStoic: Even during [[MeaningfulFuneral the ceremony putting his wife in stasis]], he remained outwardly calm, holding his crying children. He rarely smiles or shows emotion, making those moments [[WhenSheSmiles when he actually does smile]] [[NotSoStoic all the more golden]].
* SupernaturallyDeliciousAndNutritious: Zach falls prey to this in "Psychocrypt," "Ariel," and "Stargate."
* ToBeLawfulOrGood: More of a conflict for him than the others (see ByTheBookCop), but when the chips are truly down, he tells "lawful" to walk out the airlock.
!!Shane Gooseman, aka "Goose"
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Shane_Gooseman_2_7967.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Doug Preis
TheLancer, a Creator/ClintEastwood look- and soundalike (in stark contrast to Zachary Foxx, described by the show's creators as "The Creator/JohnWayne Character"), and a CowboyCop in every sense of the term, Shane may be [[EnsembleDarkhorse the most popular Ranger]]. Shane is an ArtificialHuman who was "born" as one of the ComicBook/XMen-like Supertroopers, an experimental, [[LegoGenetics genetically engineered]] army of {{SuperSoldier}}s. He is the youngest of the Supertroopers engineered and considered the runt. Unfortunately, {{Jerkass}} [[CorruptBureaucrat politician]] Senator Whiner exposed most of them to "X Factor", [[PsychoSerum a flawed DNA accelerator]] that killed several Supertroopers and caused all the survivors except (arguably) Darkstar to become evil; Goose was out of the barracks at the time, and thus, not exposed. Shane often acts as a BountyHunter to capture his former comrades. His implant allows him to adapt to any attack or hostile environment through defensive InvoluntaryShapeshifting, which can cause him to transform into strange (but always humanoid) creatures. Goose is also a ChickMagnet; several of the show's female characters are attracted to him, including his teammate Niko.
----
Tropes associated with Shane:
* AdaptiveAbility: The principle behind Shane's InvoluntaryShapeshifting, which unpredictably mutates him into whatever form he needs to take to survive a given attack or hostile environment.
* ArtificialHuman: The youngest and most advanced model of "supertrooper," a black ops Earth government project to create ultimate (and disposeable) soldiers for fending off alien threats.
* BattleCouple: With Niko.
* BeingGoodSucks: He was already questioning his purpose as a living weapon and unwilling to accept unnecessary casualties during training. Because he decided to stay loyal to his creators during the riot, he is considered a traitor by his brethren and was forced to accept a deal where he became a HunterOfHisOwnKind.
* BountyHunter: Accused of this by the other renegade Troopers, as he agreed to hunt them down to stay out of cryonic suspension.
* CannotSpitItOut: Shane lost his LoveInterest Darkstar to his romantic rival Stingray because he couldn't tell Darkstar that he loved her.
* CaptainCrash: He crashed ''least'' three interceptors and a Ranger cruiser...and the show only ran one season. His driving is [[DrivesLikeCrazy just as bad]].
* ChainedHeat: With [=McCross=] in "Chained".
* ChickMagnet: Most of the female guest stars were EatingTheEyeCandy when it came to Goose at some point.
* CowboyCop: All of them exhibit "cowboy" traits from time to time, but he would be the first to suggest methods like JackBauerInterrogationTechnique on a mook, and more apt to suggest a solution that bent or broke the rules, which often contrasted him with Zachary's calmer and by the book methods.
* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Modelled after Creator/ClintEastwood.
* DefenseMechanismSuperpower: How his InvoluntaryShapeshifting works.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: As seen in "Smuggler's Gauntlet."
* EmpathicShapeshifter: His shapeshifting abilities depend on what he needs to survive the conditions, and are not fully controllable as a result
* {{Expy}}: The character is a sci-fi ShoutOut to Creator/ClintEastwood. In the DVDCommentary, Robert Mandell not only admits that the resemblance is intentional, but lists three of Eastwood's Westerns from The70s and The80s (''Film/HighPlainsDrifter'', ''Film/TheOutlawJoseyWales'' and ''Film/PaleRider'') as among the show's primary influences. Mandell has also compared Goose to Film/DirtyHarry.
* TheGunslinger: Even by the standards of the SpaceWestern, he stands out as this. In the TitleSequence, he's even seen GunTwirling [[GunsAkimbo a pair of pistols]].
* HunterOfHisOwnKind: Goose was only allowed to join the Rangers OnOneCondition--that he hunt down the Supertroopers who weren't captured after the riot.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: "Renegade Rangers" takes this to a near-laughable extreme
* InsistentTerminology: He is '''not''' a metamorph. ([[JustifiedTrope Justified]], as that term in-universe typically refers to [[VoluntaryShapeshifting Voluntary Shapeshifters]]).
* InvoluntaryShapeshifting: His Series Five power. PlayedWith in that the shapeshifting itself is sometimes voluntary, sometimes automatically triggered whenever Goose is injured; in either case, he never knows what he's going to turn into, except that it'll be humanoid.
* MySuitIsAlsoSuper: Played with. Goose's uniform usually transforms with him, but sometimes he [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Hulks]] right out of it.
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: In Goose's case, new ''mutations''. The most memorable being with the Po Mutant Sensation Doll in "One Million Emotions", which protected him from the overload of emotions.
** Or "Changeling" where he [[HeroicRROD uses the last of his strength]] to send a telepathic shout to Niko?
* PowerIncontinence: Due to a PhlebotinumBreakdown, Shane loses control of his bio-defenses in "Edge of Darkness".
* ShirtlessScene: In "Mindnet". The Queen stripped both him and Killbane down to form fitting pants for their duel.
* WhiteSheep: The rest of his Supertrooper "family" (with the sole exception of Darkstar) appear to be everything you'd expect a living weapon to be - amoral, cruel, and bloodthirsty.
* YoungerThanHeLooks: He was established in the second to last episode as 19 years old, making him 17 or 18 when the series began.
!!Niko
[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Niko_1859.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Laura Dean (English), Alma Nuri and Sylvia Garcel (Latin-American Spanish)
A redheaded(?) ActionGirl whose implant enhances--and sometimes weaponizes--her inborn PsychicPowers. Born on an ill-fated colony planet, Niko was raised on the mystical world of Xanadu by a mysterious mentor named Ariel. Niko is also an AdventurerArchaeologist whose knowledge of alien cultures proves invaluable to the team.
----
Tropes associated with Niko:
* ActionGirl: And how! Mandell explicitly designed her to be "one of the guys" as far as being able to fight, as he did not like the "token girl as DamselInDistress" trope common to the era.
* AdventurerArchaeologist: Her primary specialty is xenoarcheology, analyzing artifacts and structures from ancient alien civilizations. Her retrocognitive abilities were very useful on those digs.
* AllThereInTheManual: The series never mentions that she was from a destroyed colony. This detail is only present in supplementary material Mandell released later.
* BattleCouple: With Shane.
* {{BFG}}: Her weapon is a double-barreled shotgun.
* DoomedHometown: The fate of the colony world where Niko was born.
* FaintingSeer: Mostly averted, but she sometimes can get a PokeInTheThirdEye by someone more powerful like Scarecrow or the Queen.
* FieryRedhead: Normally, a subversion as she is patient and slow to lose her cool. If she ''does'' get to the boiling point? Clear the sector.
** It's actually not clear if she's a red head or a brunette - depending on the animators and artists. At least once Shane Gooseman actually described her as a brunette.
* LovingAShadow: A fairly mild and harmless example - it is implied that she may have had a crush on Zachary Foxx when they first started working together, but never acted on it since he was married with kids.
* MageMarksman: If her shotgun or martial arts training doesn't do the job, her psionics will.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed - Her name and appearance were Mandell's homage to the the singer Music/{{Nico}} from the Music/VelvetUnderground.
* OnlyOneName: In the series proper. Since she was from a [[HiddenElfVillage planet of mystics]], she never had to use one. A "surname" of sorts, "Dal'Ariel," sometimes shows up on fan sites and FanFic. It is pure {{Fanon}}
* PsychicPowers: She was born with them, but her implant amplifies them. {{Psychometry}} is her primary ability, followed by telekinesis and limited telepathy.
* {{Psychometry}}: One of her primary abilities. She can get vague impressions of where an object has been or what's happened at a site without her badge, but when she [[PowerCrutch uses the implant]], the impressions become very exact and detailed.
!!Walter "Doc" Hartford
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Walter_Doc_Hartford_1105.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Hubert Kelly (English), Humberto Solórzano (Latin-American Spanish)
A doctorate in computer psychiatry and graduate of Mrs. Abercrombie's Charm and Finishing School, Doc is a combination of TheSmartGuy (although all the Rangers are pretty intelligent) and PluckyComicRelief. This Creator/BillyDeeWilliams lookalike is a wisecracking TechnoWizard whose implant gives him control over any computer by using the "Tweakers", a group of talking, sprite-like "programs" he created. Doc's sense of humor has made him a fan favorite.
----
Tropes associated with Doc:
* BadassBookworm: The dude is a Ph.D., a skilled hacker even without the implant, attended charm school...and can still brawl his way through a pile of {{mooks}} with the best of them.
* BadassNormal: While Doc has a Series 5 implant, it is practically useless in a fight (And the biggest hint the series gave that the Crown Agents weren't robots). He makes do with his fists, a blaster, his copious wit, and a sword...and still manages to keep up with the other three.
* CatchPhrase: "The doctor will operate."
* ChainedToARailway: In "Fire and Iron".
* TheCharmer: Like Alec Hardison in ''Series/{{Leverage}}'', his skill in hacking is supplanted by his ability to schmooze and bluff his way into places he should not be entering.
* TheDandy: When the team are given disguises as Zanguil traders, Doc is the most enthusiastic about wearing something flashy, and even gets into an argument with one of the Queen's {{Mooks}} over his clothing getting ripped. Likewise, he (sarcastically) contemplates about what the proper attire would be to wear to his execution on Tarkon.
* DeadpanSnarker: Like many shows of The80s, [[WorldOfSnark most characters could get a zinger in]], but Doc was far and away the snarkiest. At least three-quarters of his dialogue is delivered in SarcasmMode.
* HeroesPreferSwords: Doc is an incredibly skilled fencer for someone who picked it up in charm school.
* LetsGetDangerous: He's normally the PluckyComicRelief and grossly underpowered compared to his teammates. However, he proved in "Heartbeat" to be capable of taking down the ''Scarecrow'' single-handedly if pushed.
* MinoredInAssKicking: "Miss Abercrombie's Charm School" apparently taught acrobatics, diplomacy, and how to sword-fight.
* MysteriousPast: Mandell and company explored the {{Backstory}} of the other three Rangers with "Phoenix," "Ariel," and the Supertrooper duology. By comparison, Doc's background went unexplored.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: His resemblance to Creator/BillyDeeWilliams.
* PlayfulHacker: ZigZagged. A first rate smart-ass and computer hacker, he'll sometimes leave a prank behind in an enemy computer system. Sometimes, though, he's got too much sympathy for the AI to treat it badly, or just doesn't have the opportunity to set up the prank.
* PluckyComicRelief: He's the Ranger most prone to CasualDangerDialogue.
* TheSmartGuy: With a doctorate, he's the team member with the most formal education. In practice, he and Niko toss the ball back and forth, as their specialties are very different.
* {{Technopath}}: His Series Five ability is summoning "tweaker" programs (who are just as sarcastic as he is) to infiltrate computer systems. Each "tweaker" has a different specialty; Lifeline retrieves data, Pathfinder sneaks past security systems, Firefly attacks the systems. He has other tweakers, but they don't get as much attention.
* TechnoWizard: His specialty is getting machines to do ''exactly'' what he wants them to do. His "tweakers" are handled like summoning magic. They just come out of his computer diagnostic unit and not a spell book.
* TokenMinority: Doc seems to be the only non-white human in the galaxy (except for Jackhammer of the Supertroopers and one shot villain Dr. Ograbgo).
* TradingBarsForStripes: Possibly. WordOfGod says he enlisted "reluctantly", he makes several comments indicating he's really looking forward to leaving military service, and he is a first rate ConArtist on top of being a hacker.
* UpperClassWit: Far and away the snarkiest member of the team, and what little we know of his background (as well as Word of God) indicates he came from wealth.

[[folder:BETA Personnel]]
!!Commander Joseph Walsh
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Commander_Walsh_7045.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Earl Hammond (English), Héctor Lee (Latin-American Spanish)
Head of BETA and the Rangers' commanding officer. Serves as DaChief. Before the Galaxy Rangers were started, he headed up the [[SuperSoldier Supertrooper]] project that created Goose with Commander Negata. He appears to have a personal rivalry with Senator Whiner dating back to the project.
----
Tropes associated with Commander Walsh:
* BenevolentBoss: Walsh is a ReasonableAuthorityFigure who does his best to protect the Rangers from political pressure, even if it means bending the rules once in a while. However, he'll still chew them a new one if they go too far off the reservation.
* TheChainsOfCommanding: He has to field the massive amount of political heat that's put on the Series 5 project, and was in charge of the ill-fated Supertrooper project.
* DaChief: He is in charge of the Series Five project and the military operations of the Bureau of Extraterrestrial Affairs, which means overseeing his team of {{Cowboy Cop}}s and SurprisinglyEliteCannonFodder.
* FourStarBadass: "Supertroopers" proved he was more than capable of holding his own when outnumbered and outgunned by the renegade supersoldiers.
* LukeIAmYourFather: Played with in "Supertroopers." Whiner attempts to blackmail Walsh by revealing he knows Shane's parentage. Turns out Walsh is Shane's genetic father. Shane never finds this out.
* [[ArsonMurderAndLifesaving [=McCloud=] Speech]]: Given to the other three Rangers in "Psychocrypt" after they sneak Zachary out of BETA.
* ParentalSubstitute: Walsh considers Shane the son he never had. Of course, there are reasons for it.
!!Buzzwang
[[quoteright:158:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Buzzwang_6303.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Sandy Marshall
A bumbling android who helps the Rangers and their friends in a few episodes. He was created by Q-Ball as a helper around Longshot but wanted to become a Galaxy Ranger in full. At the end of "Tune Up," he earned the title (at least an honorary one).
----
Tropes associated with Buzzwang:
* CaptainErsatz: He's almost certainly based on [=C3PO=] of ''Franchise/StarWars'' fame.
* HeroicSacrifice: At the climax of "Tune Up", Buzzwang self-destructs so that Lazarus Slade can't use him to steal BETA's secrets. It works out better than usual, though: Not only is Buzzwang totally rebuilt, but his heroism earns him a place among the Galaxy Rangers.
* KidAppealCharacter: The reason he exists. And a substantial portion of the fanbase will never forgive him for it.
%% * PluckyComicRelief
* RobotBuddy: To the Rangers.
* SixthRanger: He was designed as a "fifth Ranger" to assist the Series 5 team, and his debut episode showed that he wished to be considered a Ranger in his own right.
* TotallyRadical: Buzzwang likes to breakdance. Really.
!!Q-Ball
[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/qball_8948.jpg]]
A brilliant inventor who works out of the Longshot lab in the Grand Canyon, Q-Ball creates the Rangers' equipment. He also built Buzzwang.
----
Tropes associated with Q-Ball:
* DrJerk: His people skills need work.
* GadgeteerGenius: As noted, he supplies the Rangers with their high-tech weaponry.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: He resembles Paul Schaffer, Creator/DavidLetterman's bandleader.
!!Dr. Owen Negata
Co-creator of the Supertroopers. Fatally injured when the Supertroopers revolted, his brain was able to be preserved and placed in a robotic shell. He serves as BETA's tactical commander and chief strategist.
----
Tropes associated with Dr. Negata:
* BrainInAJar: All that's left of Dr. Negata when Gravestone attacks him after the Batch 22 incident.
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Becoming involved with a SuperSoldier program pretty much lands him here, especially when he casually talks about using Goose as a control for an experiment.
!!Icarus and Winter
Two talking dolphins who live in a tank of water at Longshot. Goose has a special affinity with them.
----
Tropes associated with Icarus and Winter:
* EvilDetectingDog: In "Mindnet", they're the first to SpotTheImposter when Ryker Kilbane impersonates Goose.
* SapientCetaceans: Intelligent ones outfitted with cyberware!
%% * TalkingAnimal
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Zach's Family]]
!!Eliza Foxx
->'''Voiced by:''' Laura Dean (English), Sylvia Garcel (Latin-American Spanish)
Zachary's beloved wife, and mother to Zach Jr. and Jessica Foxx. In the pilot episode, the family was headed to Kirwin when they were ambushed by Kidd and his space pirates. She was able to get her children onto an escape pod, but sacrificed herself to let them get away. Things only became worse after Kidd sold her to the [[BigBad Queen of the Crown]]. The Queen was able to place her in the Psychocrypt, proving that humans were ideal specimens for the nightmarish device. Zachary was able to get her body away from the Queen, but [[SoulJar the crystal containing her mind and spirit]] is being held by the Queen.
----
Tropes associated with Eliza:
* AndIMustScream: "Psychocrypt" demonstrates that she is aware of what is going on around her under the imprisonment of the Queen, including the Queen's delight in using her against her husband...but cannot stop any of it.
%% * DamselInDistress: A high tech variation.
* FateWorseThanDeath: Being forced to serve your husband's {{Archenemy}} against your entire species? Being said archenemy's eyes and ears with everything you know about your spouse turned into a weapon, including ''nightly'' MindRape of both of you? All the while completely aware and helpless to stop any of it?
* FightingFromTheInside: "Psychocrypt" ("Zachary! Can't you see it's a trap?!")
* GhostInTheMachine: Eliza's mind and body are stored separately.
* HappilyMarried: To Zach, in the BackStory.
* HeroicSacrifice: In "Phoenix" she orders GV to launch the shuttle, saving her children, and condemning herself to the aforementioned FateWorseThanDeath.
* TeamMom: In "post rescue" {{Fanfic}}, she usually picks up the role, despite her husband adding three more "kids" to the roster.
* YouAreWorthHell: Why Zach makes his suicidal run in "Psychocrypt."
!!Zachary Foxx Jr.
->'''Voiced by:''' Bob Bottone (English), Luis Alfonso Mendoza (Latin-American Spanish)
Zachary's teenaged son. Outgoing and works as Q-Ball's lab assistant on occasion. He plans on following in his father's footsteps when he's old enough to enlist.
----
Tropes associated with Little Zach:
* ADayInTheLimelight: Several episodes, including "Tune Up" and [[BizarroEpisode "Mothmoose"]]
%% * KidAppealCharacter
%% * KidHero
* LikeFatherLikeSon: Zach Jr looks forward to enlisting in the Rangers himself when he's old enough.
!!Jessica Foxx
->'''Voiced by:''' Laura Dean
Zachary and Eliza's younger child. Unlike her brother, her inclination are more for the sciences and research.
----
Tropes associated with Jessica:
* ChildProdigy: She is a student at the exclusive UsefulNotes/AlbertEinstein School for the Gifted.
* ADayInTheLimelight: "Invasion"
* GadgeteerGenius: Her science project in "Invasion" was so effective, it summoned a Q-like alien child to send his toys over and try to get the dish for himself.
* IMissMom: In "Invasion," she is the only child there whose parents are unable to come to the science fair, and visibly cringes when a classmate asks about her mom.
%% * KidAppealCharacter
%% * KidHero
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Rangers' Alien Friends]]
!!Waldo Zeptic
->'''Voiced by:''' Henry Mandell (English), Carlos Magaña (Latin-American Spanish)
One of the "two peaceful aliens" who warn Earth about the Crown Empire and go on to befriend the Rangers. He is an Andorian, a species whose [[PlanetOfHats hat]] is scientific development, logic, and math. He designed Kirwin's defense shield and the super-fast hyperdrive traded to Earth in exchange for an alliance.
----
Tropes associated with Waldo:
* {{Ambadassador}}: While Waldo considered fighting to be "uncivilized," it did not prevent him from self-defense in the slightest.
* DeadpanSnarker: When told that the Mindnet device could theoretically control intelligent life, he quips "how fortunate [[CorruptBureaucrat Senator Whiner]] is safe."
%% * HumanoidAliens
* OutgrownSuchSillySuperstitions: Waldo's attitude toward the "haunted" KillSat in "Ghost Station".
%% * TheSpock
%% * ThoseTwoGuys: With Zozo.
!!Zozo
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Zozo_448.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Bob Bottone (English), Gabriel Cobayassi (Latin-American Spanish)
The other "peaceful alien." His species, the Kiwi, are [[{{Hobbits}} shorter than most humans, good-natured]], and have the [[PlanetOfHats hat]] of growing FantasticFruitsAndVegetables. However, Kiwi are much tougher than they look, and Zozo is the finest example of it. Despite being an Ambassador, Zozo frequently accompanies the Rangers on missions and is always up for a party, a good joke... or a fight.
----
Tropes associated with Zozo:
* {{Ambadassador}}: Even more so than his counterpart, Waldo, Zozo does not shy away from fighting. In several episodes, he is also addressed as ''Ranger'' Zozo, indicating he is at least an honorary, if not full, Galaxy Ranger in his own right.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's a cheerful, fun-loving, laid-back guy... but don't piss him off.
* BoisterousBruiser: Even in the middle of a fight, he's got a big smile on his face and cheerfully trolls opponents three times his size into making foolish mistakes.
* {{Hobbits}}: His race, the Kiwis, are ''Badass'' Hobbits.
%% * HumanoidAliens
* OnlyOneName: Appears to be a Kiwi thing; none of his species appear to have surnames.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: For being a meter high, non-powered, and looking harmless, he does a ''surprising'' amount of ass-kicking. Had a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome where he shoved [[EldritchAbomination the Scarecrow]] into a fire.
* PerpetualSmiler: Most of the time. The exception came at Eliza's MeaningfulFuneral where he was weeping openly while Zachary was trying to [[StoicWoobie keep a strong facade]].
* PointyEars: Like all Kiwis, he has large, rabbit-like ears.
* SixthRanger: Fifth Ranger, technically. Zozo is in a fair amount of episodes, even more so than Waldo is. He's a bit over a meter high, [[BadassNormal and completely non-powered]], but he's a tough and clever little guy.
* ThoseTwoGuys: With Waldo. The two of them are frequently seen together.
!!The Kiwi Kids
->'''Voiced by:''' Corinne Orr
----
Tropes associated with the Kiwi Kids:
* {{Hobbits}}: Kiwi are, generally speaking, cheerful Badass Hobbits.
%% * HumanoidAliens
%% * PointyEars
* {{Tagalong Kid}}s: They were usually accompanying their uncle on something that was supposed to be harmless, but end up in the middle of the crazy and loving every second.
!!Geezi the Pendulont
->'''Voiced by:''' Henry Mandell
This elephant-like alien is the Rangers' primary informant on the outlaw planet of Tortuna. Most of the time, he is very content to stay away from wherever the shooting is. Unfortunately, whenever the Rangers are in his vicinity, he's usually caught in the crossfire.
----------------
* HumanityIsInsane: A ''frequent'' rant of his.
* ImplausibleDeniability: "I do not exist!"
* TheInformant[=/=]InformationBroker: His relationship with the Rangers.
* LovableCoward: Most of the time. But a couple episodes like "Tortuna," "Sundancer" and "Shoot-Out" have him [[CowardlyLion risking his over-sized trunk despite his better judgement]].
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Mandell admits he was based on some of Creator/PeterLorre's characters.
%% * OnlyOneName
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Rangers' Other Allies]]
!!Princess Maya
->'''Voiced by:''' Maia Danziger
Princess Maya hails from Tarkon, a planet of HumanAliens. An aggressive ActionGirl, she was captured from her homeworld and forced into a sadistic BloodSport. This showed her the wonders and dangers of the wider galaxy, and she became determined to protect her people by importing and learning to use technology, despite their ancient ban on such things. This has caused her to revolt against her father and be snubbed by most members of the nobility... until she helps the Rangers prevent Scarecrow from destroying the Heart of Tarkon.
----
Tropes associated with Princess Maya:
* ActionGirl: We first see her (in "Games") as a captive in a sadistic [[GladiatorGames tournament]] that The General forced captives to play to the death.
* AlienPrincess: Despite resembling a human woman, she's the princess of an alien planet that forbids technology.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: The Scarecrow briefly scrambled her mind in "Scarecrow's Revenge".
* EmpathicWeapon: Her staff.
* GiveGeeksAChance: She initially seemed to think Doc was a useless goof...until he turned on the charm, took her for a spin on the dance floor, then single-handedly beat a Crown spy in a swordfight.
* HumanAlien: Like all her people, she's physically identical to humans.
* RebelliousPrincess: She defies her whole society, including her own father, to bring technology to Tarkon.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: After she and the Rangers fought their way free, she was determined to use the technology she saw to save her people from interstellar threats - even if it meant open rebellion against her father.
!!Annie O
->'''Voiced by:''' Maia Danziger
A DeterminedHomesteader on the planet of Ozark. She was instrumental in helping her isolationist colony join with the League of Planets.
----
Tropes associated with Annie:
* ActionGirl: She carries a shotgun, has excellent beast handling skills, and is perfectly willing to call WhatTheHellHero on her own community to defend Shane.
* BeastAndBeauty: In "Edge of Darkness".
* ShipTease: She and Shane were definitely attracted to one another...
* StarCrossedLovers:...but her place was on Ozark and his was in space.
!!Mistwalker
->'''Voiced by:''' Maia Danziger
Tribal shaman on the DeathWorld of Bistee-Fenokee.
----
Tropes associated with Mistwalker:
%% * CoolOldLady
* {{Hulkspeak}}: Justified somewhat, as she hasn't been exposed to much of the language.
%% * NatureHero
* NeverMessWithGranny: Audra thinks of her as a "little old grandmother" and village shaman...until she uses her knowledge of the DeathWorld she lives on to really make the Black Hole Gang sorry.
%% * WitchDoctor: One of the nicer varieties.
* YouNeverAsked: When she reveals that she's learned to speak Audra's language.
!!Audra Miles
->'''Voiced by:''' Maia Danziger
A BETA scientist who studies sentient life on remote worlds. Unfortunately, her work with the natives sometimes causes her to face dangers from the "civilized" parts of the galaxy.
------------------
Tropes associated with Audra:
* ActionGirl: "Mistwalker" had her in the thick of the fighting against the Black Hole Gang. Granted, Mistwalker and the DeathWorld did the bulk of the heavy lifting. However, when the sentient wolf-like Lycans were threatened during "In Sheep's Clothing," she breaks into a heavily-guarded corporate facility looking for answers.
* AdventurerArchaeologist: Technically, an adventure xeno-anthropologist.
%% * GreenAesop: Usually trying to deliver one.
!!Sheriff Bob Ladd
A widower who moved to the planet of Nebraska to police the town of Frontier and raise his little girl.
-----------------------------
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He politely tells Shane to hand over the pistols, and later gives them back before the ShowdownAtHighNoon.
!!Amy Ladd
Bob Ladd's small daughter.

!!Aidan Subtract
A harmless CloudCuckoolander with a talent for inventing fantastic machines. He comes across as a BunglingInventor because they sometimes need a bit more adjustment...but he's a GadgeteerGenius on the ''second'' try. Unfortunately, his soft spot for EvilTwin Jackie gets him in trouble.
----
Tropes associated with Aidan Subtract:
* BunglingInventor: He seems to be this...until he hammers out that last bug.
* CloudCuckoolander: His invention ideas are so strange one wonders if he's all there...

Technically a criminal, but more often an ally of the Rangers.

* NoodleIncident: He seemed to be awfully familiar with Zachary and had obviously been keeping tabs on him. We never learn the specifics of why. We also do not know why he happened to have a frilly dance-hall girl outfit in the back of his ship, either.

[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Queen_of_the_Crown_7438.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Corinne Orr (English), Liza Willert (Latin-American Spanish)
Ruler of a vast and crumbling Empire, the sorceress-Queen fuses magic and technology in a nightmarish combination in order to stabilize and keep hold of her territory. The culmination of this is the Psychocrypt, which mashes sentient beings down for LifeEnergy and uses the resulting SoulJar to [[PoweredByAForsakenChild power Slaverlord constructs through which she can see, hear, and speak]]. She carpet-bombed the planet Tortuna, rendering it uninhabitable aside from a few domed cities. After bringing the Girkin race to near-extinction in her thirst for Slaverlords, she has turned her eyes to humans, who have the unfortunate distinction of being the best known candidate for Slaverlord manufacture.
----
Tropes associated with The Queen of the Crown:
* ArchEnemy: Is this to Zachary Foxx.
* BigBad: The Queen is the most powerful member of the series' extensive RoguesGallery, and many of the other major villains end up working for her at least once.
* BringHimToMe: She wants the Rangers to come to her, or to be brought to her--alive and undamaged. After all, you can't make Slaverlords out of them dead.
* TheEmpire: She runs it.
* EveryoneCallsHerBarkeep: She's never given a name, only being addressed by her title.
%% * EvilGloating
* {{Expy}}: She bears a passing resemblance, in both appearance and behavior, to the Evil Queen from ''WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs''.
%% * GodSaveUsFromTheQueen
%% * HighCollarOfDoom
* IHaveYourWife:
** The Queen dangles Eliza's crystal rather casually in front of Zach, leading to horrific episodes like "Psychocrypt".
** Also, in "Queen's Lair" she holds Mayor Birba's family hostage to force him to betray LaResistance. [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse We're never informed if they're rescued or not.]]
* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: Her attitude toward Zach in "Psychocrypt".

* MindRape: One of her favorite tactics.
%% * RubberForeheadAliens

Tropes associated with Crown Agents:

* {{Mooks}}
%% * TheFaceless
!!Slaver Lords
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Slaver_Lord_8043.jpg]]
Slaver Lords are psychic projections controlled by the Queen, powered by the life force trapped in a psycho crystal. A psycho crystal is a crystal full of life force stolen from a living being. The Slaver Lords act as the eyes, ears, and mouth for the Queen.
----
Tropes associated with Slaver Lords:
* AndIMustScream: Maybe it's unique to Eliza, but "Psychocrypt" made it clear that she was conscious and able to know what was going on.
* TheFaceless: Except when the Queen is using one of them.
* FateWorseThanDeath: They are either political enemies, or just the "right" species. They process involves getting their souls ''forcibly extracted.'' The process is hideously painful, and then while conscious and aware of what's been done, they are forced to be the eyes, ears, and enforcers of the tyrant that inflicted the fate.
* LifeEnergy: What the crystals are.
* MookLieutenant
* PoweredByAForsakenChild: The crystals powering them are made from forcibly-extracted souls.
* SoulJar: The crystals themselves.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Ryker_Kilbane_6101.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Henry Mandell
A brutal, bloodthirsty product of the Supertrooper program, he and Goose were bitter rivals even before the riot. When CorruptBureaucrat Whiner pumped PsychoSerum into the barracks, Killbane accused Whiner, Walsh, and Negata of trying to kill them and started the revolt. After escaping, he became a notorious mercenary willing to take the nastiest jobs for a good price.
----
Tropes associated with Ryker Kilbane:
* ArchEnemy: Is this to Shane Gooseman.

[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Darkstar_2397.jpg]]
A quiet and supportive type, despite her brutal origin as a Supertrooper, Darkstar has the ability to temporarily blind people. Goose had fallen for Darkstar back at the academy and tried to convince her to stay, but his inability to admit those feelings led her to leaving with Stingray.
----
Tropes associated with Darkstar:
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Her devotion to Stingray.
* LoveMartyr: She and Shane appear to be the only sane Supertroopers, but she chooses to stay with and try to help Stingray.
* NoAccountingForTaste: Possibly justified, as it's implied the Supertroopers are pretty messed up psychologically, even before the PsychoSerum.
* PhlebotinumRebel: Though she and Stingray strike out on their own instead of trying to get revenge against their creators.
* TemporaryBlindness: Her Suptertrooper power induces this.
* WhiteSheep: To the rest of the Supertroopers, along with Shane.
!!Stingray
[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stingray_1739.jpg]]

* EyeBeams: His primary weapon, thanks to the {{Genetic Engineering|Is the New Nuke}} that created all the Supertroopers.
%% * {{Jerkass}}

* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: Usually seen with [[CigarChomper a cigar in his mouth]].

%% * ShorterMeansSmarter
!!Gravestone
A very large Supertrooper, but none-too-bright. Has the ability to turn his body into rock temporarily.
----

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Captain_Kidd_5486.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Earl Hammond
A Plitsky space pirate. Looks like an oversized chicken, and is really a coward when he isn't sitting on the bridge of his flagship, the ''Iron Falcon.'' He was the one who attacked Zachary and his family in the pilot episode, but cut a deal with BETA in "New Frontier" (the second episode) after being double-crossed. This begins both his HeelFaceRevolvingDoor and his VillainDecay.
----
Tropes associated with Captain Kidd:
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: At various points in the series, Kidd works with the Queen ''and'' the Rangers.
%% * HumanoidAliens
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: In "Phoenix," the Queen deprives him of his "booty," (the captured ship) and stiffs him on payment. The ticked-off captain decides he's had enough and starts firing on the Crown Destroyer.

!!Lazarus Slade
[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Lazarus_Slade_2_846.jpg]]

%% * LargeHam
* MadScientist: All his schemes revolve around either creating or stealing new inventions for evil purposes.
* {{Magitek}}: In "Badge of Power", he and Mogul combine their powers to create the titular badge.
* PowerCopying: The Badge of Power lets Slade use the Rangers' abilities.
* SouthernGentleman: He tries to act like one sometimes.
* TooDumbToLive: He's great at his mad science, but proposing marriage to the Queen would certainly hint at a broad lack of common sense.
* VillainousCrush: As noted, he has one on the Queen.
* VillainTeamUp: He's marginally competent on his own, but has a tendency to ally himself with other rogues. Cue the Rangers' MassOhCrap reaction when they trail him in "Aces and Apes", only to find he's teamed up with the Scarecrow.
!!Scarecrow
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Galaxy_Rangers_Scarecrow_2559.jpg]]
----
Tropes associated with Scarecrow:
* EldritchAbomination: A remnant of a war fought millions of years in the past, he is more alien than most people can comprehend.
* EvilLaugh: Often. Particularly memorable example: he does one ''directly into the camera'' at the end of his first episode.
* ForgottenSuperweapon: Before he was accidentally revived.
%% * HumanoidAliens
* SealedEvilInACan: His origin. He was sealed under the planet Tarkon until the Kiwi accidentally woke him up.

* TimeAbyss: Observes that he is feeling talkative after ''a hundred million years'' in the ground.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: He's shown doing it several times, most notably at the end of his debut episode.

Mogul, a four-armed alien, is the last survivor of a race of evil sorcerers who once controlled the Sorcerer system. His crimes include enslaving the [[Franchise/StarWars Ewok]]-like Basooti (because the starstones, which grow only on Basoot, enhance his powers) and kidnapping an EnergyBeing called the "Lady of Light" from her home universe (because she could, well, enhance his powers).

* BewareTheSillyOnes[=/=]EgomaniacHunter: Nimrod may be a CloudCuckoolander, but he's still a threat--at least until the Rangers defeat him.
* BroughtDownToNormal: He attempts this in "The Power Within" by confiscating the Rangers' badges, which trigger their powers. They beat him anyway.
* HuntingTheMostDangerousGame: The plot of "The Power Within". He pursues and captures the crews of various ships, then keeps them as HumanPopsicle trophies. However, the Rangers put a stop to that.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Jackie_Subtract_3562.jpg]]
