Troobian Empire

The **Troobian Empire** was the main antagonistic force of *Power Rangers S.P.D.*. They were a galactic empire and warlike army whose ultimate goal was to gather resources from planets they conquered and destroyed to build a body for their leader Omni The Magnificence, who while he was working behind-the-scenes, appointed Emperor Gruumm as the empire's figurehead and de-facto leader.

## History

### Past

The exact origins of the Troobian Empire are never actually explained with the most known about it being that Omni was the founder. Emperor Gruumm is seemingly the absolute ruler but only serves as the figurehead with Omni being the puppet-master. Omni (usually referred to as just The Magnificence) sends Gruumm on an intergalactic mission to conquer various planets across the universe and strip them of their resources to build him a massive body.

### What is a Troobian?

The name and term "Troobian" has been used inconsistently leading to the question of exactly what it refers to. The -ian suffix suggests that it should refer to a species or those hailing from a given planet, but no such species or planet has ever been identified. (Even Gruumm himself is referred to as the leader of the Troobian Empire, but not as a Troobian in the way that Doggie Cruger is a Sirian.) The official word from Bruce Kalish is that it refers to Gruumm's empire, and anyone and anything Gruumm-allied is to be considered Troobian, and this is consistent with early uses of the term, but several mid-season episodes contain instances of Gruumm-allied and non-Gruumm-allied villains-of-the-week referring to their Krybots as Troobians.
