The B-Squad are a group of Power Ranger cadets who work for Space Patrol Delta (S.P.D.) and were originally meant to serve as back-up for S.P.D.'s A-Squad. After the latter group disappear, the B-Squad are promoted to Ranger status and tasked with protecting the fictional New Tech City and Earth from the Troobian Empire.[3] Moreover, due to their parents' work in founding S.P.D. (or SPD), the team developed superpowers.
