Story of Space Patrol Delta

12 out of the 14 S.P.D. Rangers

By the year 2025, Earth has become a home for aliens who live peacefully with humans. However, some aliens become criminals. To deal with them, a special police force called Space Patrol Delta (S.P.D.) is created.

An evil group called the Troobian Empire arrives to take over Earth. S.P.D.'s best team, the A-Squad, disappears while fighting them. So, a new team, the B-Squad, must step up. This team includes Sky Tate, Bridge Carson, and Sydney Drew. They are joined by two former thieves, Jack Landors and Z Delgado. Together, they must protect Earth from the Troobians.

Later, their commander, Doggie Cruger, and a future S.P.D. officer named Sam also join the team. They all work together to stop the Troobian Empire.

Video Game Fun

A video game based on Space Patrol Delta was made for the Game Boy Advance. It was a side-scrolling game where the six Rangers fought enemies and bosses.

Comic Book Adventures

A new comic strip for Power Rangers S.P.D. appeared monthly in Jetix Magazine in the UK during 2005. This was the first Power Rangers comic written by Simon Furman and drawn by Andrew Wildman.

The comic had a side story about a Krybot robot who became self-aware and turned against Gruumm. This rogue Krybot later helped S.P.D. by giving Jack a device to stop Gruumm's robot army. The comic series ended with its own unique conclusion to the S.P.D. story. In this version, the A-Squad was brainwashed instead of being evil. The B-Squad defeated them and helped Cruger beat Gruumm and Omni. Afterward, the B-Squad members were promoted to A-Squad.

In 2018, the S.P.D. Rangers appeared in a big comic book event called "Shattered Grid" by Boom! Studios. This crossover celebrated the 25th anniversary of the original Power Rangers TV series. A special Power Rangers S.P.D. story was also published as part of this event.
