## Summary

The peace of the universe has been shattered by the arrival of Lord Xoruk! Hailing from another dimension, Xoruk believes the universe belongs to him and will stop at nothing to claim it all. His scientists have finally found a way to breach the divide between dimensions and he sends his armies to attack worlds without heroes to protect them. On Earth NASADA creates a special series of suits and turns them into Ranger tech to fight this threat. They hold a series of trials under the pretense of selecting a crew for a special mission when they are really selecting nine Rangers.
