The Space Rangers alternate between searching for Zordon and protecting Earth. From the Dark Fortress, Astronema seeks to eliminate them viaEcliptor(who raised her), Quantrons and a variety of monsters. (Elgarhas also been added to her team, but he remains a comedic bungler.) Over time, allies (such asPhantom Ranger,Justin StewartandAdam Park) offer the Rangers invaluable aid, withZhane(the Silver Space Ranger) emerging from cryo-sleep and joining the team. New Zords are also introduced. Meanwhile, Bulk and Skull become assistants to eccentric Professor Phenomenus and join him in searching for aliens.
