In the early Cenozic Era, six interplanetary warriors, the Power Rangers, came to Earth. Rita Repulsa, the Green Ranger, a Spartoi, had turned against the other five Rangers after she learned that Zor-Don, the Red Ranger, who was a Kree, had fallen in love with Zirrand'r, the Yellow Ranger, who was a Tamaranean. Zirrand'r, along with all the other rangers, save for Zor-Don, perished in Repulsa's attack.

It proved a pyrrhic victory for her, as both Repulsa and Zor-Don were gravely injured. Zor-Don was able to upload his consciousness to the ship that had taken them to Earth, while Repulsa used her magic to bind her essence to the Green Coin, so that one day she might live again.

There they lay dormant for millions of years, Zor-Don in the Kree vessel, buried beneath Mount Wrottesley in Angel Grove, Starling, British Columbia, and Repulsa in what became known as Howe Sound, just off the coast of Angel Grove.

In the summer of 2018, Dr. James MacDonald Hudson discovered the craft while testing his Groundhog Exploration Suit. Studying the ancient Kree technology inspired him to make another technological leap, eventually turning the Groundhog Exploration Suit into the Guardian Battle Suit. But he did not venture down to the area that housed Zor-Don's consciousness, as that part of the ship was still cut off.

Over several years, Dr. Hudson took his discovery to the Canadian Government, which created Department H, and later Alpha Flight. They reverse engineered much of the ancient Kree technology, working closely with the Canadian Space Agency to create the Alpha Flight Low-Orbit Space Station, better known as Mackenzie King Station, a small fleet of interplanetary, but not interstellar, craft called Arrows.

The Hadfield Space Centre was built on Mount Wrottesley, directly over the buried Kree craft, so that they could better control its study. Unfortunately, sometime in 2024, a fissure opened up, going some distance away from the Centre, and almost created a pathway to the lower portion of the ship. A few months later, a group of five teenagers would discover that fissure, and while trying to get out, discovered the ship, the power coins, and woke up Zor-Don.

Activating the red, black, blue, yellow, and pink coins had the inadvertent effect of remotely activating the green one, and with it, Rita Repulsa. Since then, she has battled the Power Rangers many times, recruited alien warriors to do her bidding, and used her green coin to create her own Power Ranger, who subsequently turned against her.

During those battles, the Rangers have caused minor damage to Angel Grove and Glaberton (The Glades), and since then, have done their utmost to avoid using their Zords in inhabited areas.

The Power Rangers are appable as FCs, Bulk and Skull as AFCs, while Rita Repulsa, Lord Zedd (a Tyrrazian), and their prominent henchmen, Goldar (a Stonian), Scorpina (a Spartoi), etc. are appable as VFCs.

Note: As an adapted source, the world and events of Power Rangers may not have transpired here. It has been modified to fit the world of United Heroes MUSH, not the other way around. Zords are considerably smaller than depicted in the television show, and in a scale closer to that of the 2017 film. The use of a zord in an inhabited area requires an approved Tiny-Plot. The use of a zord in an uninhabited area also requires staff approval, but that can be as simple as paging an on duty staffer and saying "we're in the middle of the Okanagan Desert and want to use a zord" to get an immediate page approval.
