KO-19

 KO-19 (or Karovan Outpost 19) is a planet colonized by Karovan humans that will appear in Power Rangers: Rumor Legion.

Description
KO-19 is a very cold planet, with ice caps extending almost a quarter down its surface from either pole, and its most temperate region is similar in climate to Russia or Canada on Earth. The Karovan colonists have discovered signs of an ancient civilization which lived in a warmer climate, but they are now extinct thanks to whatever froze the planet.

History
The original civilization of KO-19 was probably destroyed about three million years before, and even if they achieved space flight (which appears unlikely due to existing archaeological evidence), none of the neighboring planets have any records of them. The Karovan Empire found it seven thousand years ago, choosing to colonize it for its rich ore and fuel deposits. The inhabitants developed high resistance to cold, along with their learned telekinesis.

Then, in the year 3312 B.C., a plague broke out, quickly spreading through the colony's ventilation systems. The planet was put under quarantine, and it was believed until recently that none survived the pandemic. However, a few brilliant scientists managed to contain the plague, saving six cities on the southern side of the planet. None possessed spaceports, and the Karovan Empire patrolled the planet regardless to make sure the plague was contained.

Utterly isolated for the next five thousand years, the Karovans focused on survival, developing their technology to a high degree, but retaining the ancient Karovan culture, even regressing slightly as the cities divided up under different warlords. They also returned to the ancient custom of the Nameless, a class of people used as servants and soldiers and forbidden individual identities. Most were criminals, illegitimate or unwanted children (which became more frequent as the government began to regulate family sizes), and they were treated more like useful machines than people.
