The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers
One of my absolute favourite cartoons growing up. The Adventures of The Galaxy Rangers. Way ahead of it’s time as most were that I will be trying to recreate over the next few months.
This moc includes all the Galaxy Rangers and The Ranger-2 ship. Custom minifigures by the legend and fellow collaborator Richard B – richbrix.co.uk
Zachery Foxx is a father of Jessica Foxx and Zach Jr., married. By the book type. During an escape from space pirate Captain Kidd‘s ship, Zach was critically injured. In order to save his life, almost his entire left side was replaced with bionics. His wife Eliza was captured and sent to the The Queen of the Crown‘s psychocrypt. Although Eliza’s body was returned to earth, her mind lies trapped in a psychocrystal. Captain Foxx’s primary personal mission is to free Eliza’s psychocrystal from the Queen.
Foxx’s Series 5 power implant is linked directly to his bionic left arm and leg. The arm can fire and gives him extra strength. Foxx is the field captain of the Series 5 Rangers.
Walter “Doc” Hartford Flamboyant and flashy, Doc is never at a loss for words. Single, but with a vested interest in Maya, Princess of Tarkon. A computer hacker, the Series 5 implant in Doc’s brain allows him direct access to any and all types of computers using virtual “programs” he created, which he calls Tweakers. He is irreverent, has a great left hook learned fencing at Miss Abercrombie’s charm school and loves his work. Doc’s weapon of choice are his fists, his quick thinking and a sword.
His implant animates Tweakers, mobile computer programs he created, to work under his direct mental control (Lifeline: diagnostics, Pathfinder: data-crunching, Tripwire: overriding security systems, etc.)
Niko was raised on the haven world of Xanadu by Ariel, her teacher and mentor. Her real parents died when Niko was very young. She is a trained archaeologist. Her Series 5 implant boosts her already considerable psi talent, allowing her to construct shields. It also amplifies her talent for clairvoyance and psychokinesis. Niko knows tae kwon do and carries a very large gun.
Portrayed with auburn hair, hazel eyes and a fit figure, Niko has prowess in the martial arts, is a good shot with a weapon, and not averse to subterfuge and pretense as tools of the trade.
She can receive mental imprints from objects by touch. Her Series 5 implant expands the range of this natural ability, rendering touch unnecessary. Her abilities can be draining, but not usually to an extreme extent.
Shane Gooseman Single (but he has quite a way with the ladies). No parents. Born as part of a failed genetic experiment conducted by Joseph Walsh and Dr. Owen Negata. Their attempt at creating the perfect genetically enhanced soldiers went horribly awry when an overzealous senator decided to speed the mutation process along with a highly unstable chemical (known as “Supertrooper Juice”) which drove the Supertroopers insane. Most were trapped and are in cryogenic chambers. A few escaped (Ryker Killbane, Brainchild, Darkstar, Gravestone, and Stingray). Goose was spared the cryogenic coffins on one condition – that he enlist in the Galaxy Rangers and bring in the rogue Supertroopers – dead or alive
Gooseman’s Series 5 implant activates internal bio-defenses giving him limited shape-shifting abilities and the ability to heal very fast. He is a weapons expert and top marksman with any sort of blaster.
The Ranger Interceptor, or Ranger-2 series of ships is an Earth design based on the early Andorian ships. The Interceptor is equipped with an Andorian Wormhole-Hyperdrive, and has engines capable of 10g acceleration with a 12g gravity net. It’s weapons are two dual-barelled Forward-traverse lasers rated at 5 Mw each.
The ship’s maneuverability makes it a very difficult target to hit using computer-guided weapons due to it’s automatic em jamming sequencers. This is the ship most commonly seen on military patrols as the League and BETA has over 300 of these vessels currently in service. The Interceptor normally carries one crew, but can, in an emergency, carry two people in the small cabin. The Cargo capacity of the interceptor is only 1 standard Cargo Container.
