The Galaxy Power Rangers gained their powers through use of the Quasar Sabers - ancient weapons that were discovered on the planet Mirinoi . At the beginning of the series, the Quasar Sabers were pulled from a block of stone a la Excalibur , thus highlighting the teens as the modern day chosen wielders of the weapons (that is, with the exception of Leo Corbett, whose Saber was given him by his brother Mike). The Galaxy Power Rangers protected the space colony, Terra Venture , from the machinations of alien criminals Scorpius , Trakeena and Deviot . This was the first (and so far only) incarnation of Power Rangers that did not have some connection to the Earth, save that they departed Earth in the first episode. LEO CORBETT Leo Corbett, the leader of the team, is the Red Galaxy Ranger. He was played by Danny Slavin . Leo was a stowaway aboard the space colony. He wanted to follow his soldier brother Mike to find a new world. He largely witnessed the discovery of the Quasar Sabers by accident. Mike originally drew the Red Quasar Saber, but passed it on to Leo before falling to his apparent death at the bottom of a crevice. Leo is a charming, free-spirited young man who enjoys sports. He is respectful and daring, and his street smarts give him the natural ability to lead others while gaining trust. Leo is always pondering the great questions of life and is very interested in making the most of his Terra Venture experience. His curiosity for "what's out there" is what makes him an inspiration to the other Galaxy Rangers. Throughout the series, Leo used weapons and tools such as the Magna Talon Transdagger, Lion Galactabeast, Red Astro Cycle, Armor Keys (which he used to become the Red Armored Ranger), Red Capsular Cycle (which he gained through understanding his Galactabeast), and the Lights Of Orion . In the finale, it was Leo that single-handedly destroyed Trakeena in her insectoid form. Sometime later, during the '''' episode '' Forever Red '', Leo was recruited by Tommy Oliver to journey to the moon with nine other Red Rangers to destroy the Machine Empire . KAI CHEN Kai Chen, played by Archie Kao , is the Blue Galaxy Ranger and the wielder of the Blue Quasar Saber. Straight-laced, sensible, and ambitious, Kai is the classic overachiever. Having been brought up in a strict military family, he always does things by the book and likes everything in its place (which causes much conflict with Leo). However, his orderly world is turned upside down when he becomes a Ranger. Now he must learn that sometimes rules are meant to be broken when it comes to saving the universe. He appears to be a good friend of Kendrix Morgan. Kai was the first known Asian-American Blue Ranger . DAMON HENDERSON Damon Henderson, portrayed by Reggie Rolle , is the Green Galaxy Ranger. He was a senior mechanic on Terra Venture and the Astro Megaship before Kai Chen took the ship to Mirinoi to save Leo Corbett. Damon's wisecracking and playful nature can be deceiving. Although he is always ready with a quick comeback or witty remark, he takes his job as the Green Ranger very seriously. A top-notch mechanic, Damon's knowledge of the Astro Megaship is an invaluable asset to the team. His training as an amateur boxer gives him an extra edge when fighting the forces of evil. Damon was the first known African-American Green Ranger . MAYA Maya was a wild-woman from the jungle planet ''. She lived on the planet of Mirinoi before becoming a Ranger. She passed through a portal along with the other Rangers and lived aboard the space station Terra Venture on its journey from Earth into deep space. Maya fought against the Slime Monster, she nearly died of suffocation- when it threw a glob of slime covering her body, hardening into a rock like substance. Proud to be the Yellow Galaxy Ranger, Maya believes that as a team the group can defeat her archenemy. Her wild spirit and closeness with nature gives her an ability to understand people and everything around her. KENDRIX MORGAN Kendrix Morgan was introduced as a soldier aboard the space station Terra Venture . She was one of the six people to travel through the spatial rift to Mirinoi in the first episode, and she drew a Quasar Saber that allowed her to transform into the Pink Galaxy Ranger. Highly intelligent and analytical by nature, Kendrix has an interest in all things scientific. She always has a logical explanation for everything, and that sometimes prevents her from seeing the wonder that's around her. Her blossoming friendship with free-spirited Leo teaches her to be more fun loving and spontaneous. Kendrix fought against the Slime Monster, she nearly died of suffocation- when it threw a glob of slime covering her body, hardening into a rock like substance. Kendrix is notable among Power Rangers characters in that she was the first (and so far only) Power Ranger who has ever been killed on-screen. Other characters had been written out of the show on several occasions, but she was the first to die. However, she was not the first major character to die in Power Rangers - '', and the positive response from that sacrifice may have encouraged writers to make an even more important character die likewise. Another viable reason for having Kendrix die is that the actress portraying her, Valerie Vernon , was diagnosed with leukemia, thus forcing her to leave the show mid-way through. Kendrix appeared as a spirit and passed on her Quasar Saber (and with it her powers) to Karone . When the Quasar Sabers were returned to Mirinoi in the finale, Kendrix was restored to life by unknown means. KARONE See Also: Karone Karone, portrayed by Melody Perkins , was Andros' sister and the former Queen of Evil Astronema . After Kendrix's noble death, Karone was drawn to the frontier planet Onyx, where she posed as Astronema to obtain the lost Pink Quasar Saber. She was exposed by Trakeena , and during a tough unmorphed battle with Trakeena, was greeted by Kendrix 's spirit, who granted her the powers of the Pink Quasar Saber, transforming her into the Pink Ranger. She served with the other Galaxy Rangers as a means to atone for her past as Astronema , and helped save Terra Venture from destruction. Upon returning the Pink Quasar Saber to its stone on Mirinoi , Kendrix was revived and restored. TRIVIA
