Star Orbs

The Star Orbs are Spheres that hold the unknown power of the Constellations. They can be used in the Nova Blast Morpher, Dragon Staff, or Phoenix Blade & Shield to morph into Star Force Rangers, become the power sources of the Star Weapons & become the cockpits of the Star Zords. To activate a Star Orb, a Star Force Ranger spins the outer shell until the inscribed image is complete.

Star Orbs are divided into two categories: Morph Orbs, which allow the user to morph into a Star Force Ranger, & Skill Orbs, which allow the user to use special effects.

History
As noted by Tera, the Star Orbs were the subject of a universal legend: "When the universe falls into evil clutches & its people shed tears, the Star Orbs will choose nine saviors, the Star Force Rangers, who will save the universe."

The first known Star Orb to appear in modern times was that of the Draco System. Though not a Morph Orb, Commander Long was able to achieve an unorthodox morphing sequence into Star Force Violet through the use of the specially created the Dragon Staff. This system, however, was incomplete in that the morphing sequence could only be maintained for a limited time.

As depicted in a series of illustrations by Commander Long himself, he would travel across the various constellations in an epic journey to gather the power of the legendary Star Orbs so as to oppose the tyranny of Khaosmos, taking him to places such as amidst a sea of scorching magma to a frigid wasteland. Long would collect numerous Skill Orbs in this journey, such as that of the Pegasus Armor in the Pegasus System, who had resonated with Long's burning desire to see the defeat of Khaosmos.

The first of the initial nine Star Orbs to appear was that of the Scorpius System; awakened in Lance, it was discovered on him by Commander Long who offered him a Nova Blast Morpher to join the Rebellion as Star Force Orange.
