[edit] History

[edit] Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Alien Rangers

While Rita Repulsa was initially the primary villain, the season goes on to establish there are multiple supervillains & evil empires operating in the galaxy, many of which know each other. Lord Zedd was introduced as being an emperor who already rules other worlds (this was later forgotten) and uses villains like Rita as subordinates; Count Dregon (from Masked Rider, conqueror of Edenoi, is introduced as an old rival of Zedd's; Rita's father Master Vile is introduced as having conquered the M51 galaxy; and Hydro Hog has destroyed multiple planets through dehydration, as well as carrying out a campaign of attempted conquest on Aquitar.

[edit] Power Rangers: Zeo

During Power Rangers: Zeo, the Machine Empire is said to have broken away from a "United Alliance of Evil" to pursue independent conquest.

[edit] Power Rangers: Turbo

Divatox captures a message from the year 2000, intended for the Rangers, which warns that the galaxy's villains will unite on a campaign of conquest around that time - a premonition of the next season. Dark Specter is mentioned in the finale, and calls Divatox to join his gathering of villains. He also, off-screen, leads a massed attack on Eltar, Zordon's home planet, and conquered it; the Ranger's mentor Dimitria left Earth to assist.

[edit] Power Rangers in Space

Forces later commanded by Dark Specter in Power Rangers in Space have been collectively dubbed the "United Alliance of Evil" by fans referring to villains, foot soldiers, and monsters within this armada. They appeared in the first episode having a collective celebration over Dark Specter's capturing of Zordon. (The fate of Ranger allies Alpha 5 and Dimitira was never established)

Dark Specter planned to absorb Zordon's power, but constantly had to hide him from the searching Phantom Ranger and Space Rangers, with both Astronema and Divatox assisting.

Eventually Dark Specter ordered an all-out attack on the entire universe, as seen in the episode Countdown to Destruction. The various factions launched their attacks: Rita and Zedd attacking the Vica Galaxy and capturing the Gold Ranger; the Machine Empire attacking the Phantom Ranger's home world and subduing both him and the Blue Senturion; and Divatox attacking Gratha and overwhelming the Aquitian Rangers of Aquitar. Astronema oversaw the attack on KO-35 and personally led the conquest on Earth, devastating Angel Grove. The death of Specter at the hands of a doomsday weapon (originally planned to destroy Earth) did not prevent the attack but only caused Astronema to seize control of the organization.

However, these forces were defeated when Andros, the Red Space Ranger, shattered Zordon's energy tube, releasing a wave of energy which purified several villains (namely Rita, Zedd, and Divatox) into human forms and vaporized the rest into piles of sand. Astronema was also restored to her normal form of Karone.

[edit] Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy

The Psycho Rangers survived as data cards and were returned to normal by Deviot. Various monsters and minions survived the Zordon wave and live on the lawless planet Onyx.

[edit] Power Rangers: Wild Force

The Machine Empire still exists as small, scattered groups under the control of General Venjix. He and the other surviving generals went into hiding, with Andros tracking their movements, while attempting to find a way to revive their fortunes and achieve vengeance for King Mondo. They eventually unearthed Lord Zedd's giant zord Serpentera on the moon.

[edit] Power Rangers: Mystic Force

It is revealed in the finale that Rita Repulsa had become "Mystic Mother", Empress of all Good Magic.

[edit] Power Rangers: Operation Overdrive

Five years later, Rita's and Zedd's son, Thrax, forms his own alliance of evil, gathering the four factions of villains to destroy the Operation Overdrive Power Rangers.

[edit] Power Rangers: Super Legends

In this videogame, it is shown that Lord Zedd had returned to his former self and plotted to take over the timeline.
