The Adventures of The Galaxy Rangers (1986-1989) was an American animated Space Western television series created by Robert Mandell and Gaylord Entertainment Company.
The series combined sci-fi stories with a typical wild-west-"feel", fusing elements of space opera with the traditional fantasy elements of sword and sorcery.
It was one of the first anime-style shows produced mainly in the USA, although the actual animation was done in Japan by the famed Tokyo Movie Shinsha.
The show is set after the year 2086, when two aliens from the planets Andor and Kirwin travelled to Earth to search for allies against the ruthless and expansionist Crown Empire led by the Queen of the Crown.
In return for the help, the two aliens gave mankind construction plans for an FTL-drive (hyperdrive).
After this key event in human history, interstellar travel flourished and a huge number of colonies emerged in distant star-systems.
Alongside the growth of human activities in space, criminal activities also grew, and the new colonies required defense against various threats, including the Crown Empire.
BETA (Bureau for Extra-Terrestrial Affairs) was founded to cope with these tasks, the "Ranger"-division being a part of it.
Most of the colonies portrayed in the show specialized either in agriculture (by growing genetically engineered crops or breeding genetically engineered cattle) or in mining star stones.
Many of the planets have names that evoke Western settings: Nebraska, Mesa, Ozark, Prairie, and so on.
At the time it was aired, The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers was a revolutionary children's show.
When the series originally aired, the 65 episodes were broadcast five days a week until they had all been shown.
The episodes were for the most part aired out of order.
