701-QsQ1.
- Terra Venture was
a vast cylindrical space station connected to the bottom of a main
saucer-like dome known as the city dome,
inside which was a city with many skyscrapers.
- The main dome was transparent, with six dividers
from the top cutting the dome into six sections; beyond each divider was
a subdome, nearly identical in shape to the city dome but smaller: three of the six were
30% of the city dome's diameter, and three
slightly smaller domes, spaced between the larger three, were 22%.
- The six subdomes were connected to each other by
mostly transparent transport tunnels, with identical tunnels also
connecting each subdome to the city dome.
- Certain domes were positioned at different
relative elevations: one of the three slightly smaller subdomes (the Forest Dome) was positioned on a thin
vertical stalk to a junction of the tunnels connected to the city dome and the two adjacent subdomes;
furthermore, one of the other two smaller subdomes, located two domes
over from the Forest Dome, moving
clockwise, was positioned at a lower elevation, its two side tunnels
connecting to small junctions below the two adjacent subdomes rather
than directly into the sides of the subdomes; its tunnel leading to the
city dome (not shown on Terra Venture computer schematics) actually connected to a
place within the underside of the city
dome.
- Following is the arrangement of the six subdomes,
ascertained from numerous shots within the series, from schematics'
point of view above Terra Venture: on the
"west" was the smaller, stalked Forest
Dome (first shown clearly in 704-Rook);
northwest was a larger dome (shown briefly from space in 724-GrCr)
containing flat land, a forest, and a cluster of buildings; northeast
was the smaller subdome positioned lower than the others (also shown
briefly in 724-GrCr), and it appeared to
contain a small city structure; east was the larger Industrial Dome (explicitly pointed out
on schematics in 730-TenP); southeast was a
smaller dome containing silver structures which made it look like a
smaller Industrial Dome (shown in 728-RRom);
finally, southwest was the Mountain
Dome (often depicted incorrectly by other domes but shown correctly
in 727-LxLB).
? Often, shots of Terra Venture would show the six subdomes
backwards from their correct orientation; although the incorrect version
appeared roughly as often as the correct version, the "correct" one is
verified by computer schematics (shown in
715-RDay).
- Along Terra
Venture's cylinder extending from the bottom of the city dome were three thicker portions; the top
portion, immediately below the city dome,
had a Y-shaped arrangement of three support beams, thicker than the
dome-to-dome tunnels and each lit by what appeared to be five light
strips in a line; the middle section, a bit shorter than the top
section, also had an identical Y junction.
- A vertical support rod ran up from each lower Y
junction leg to the identical leg above, and beyond to one of the
larger-sized three subdomes on the upper plane.
- Connected to each leg node - that is, the
intersection of the Y junction's leg and the vertical support rod - were
clusters of miniature subdomes connected to the node by tiny support
rods; each node appeared to have ten mini-domes (shown in 727-LxLB), five slightly larger and five
slightly smaller; ten mini-domes at each node, both upper and lower
nodes, would have totalled sixty mini-domes on Terra Venture, in addition to the city dome and the six main subdomes.
? The hemispherical
coverings for all domes were transparent from the outside and yet a day
or night sky from within; although a unidirectional sky hologram could
have been in effect, stars could be seen straight through domes - that
is, a view through one side of the dome, through the interior of the
dome, and out the other side, an impossibility if such holograms had
been in use.
704-Rook.
- The Rangers
fought Horn outside a power plant
facility, then in an expansive industrial complex near an urban river;
both were probably located in the city
dome, although the Industrial
Dome or its smaller industrial neighbor were both possibilities as
well.
- The Lion Galactabeast
would regularly emerge from a glowing red pit in the rocky ground
following an explosion in a rock cliff somewhere; this apparently
volcanic pit was probably located in the Forest Dome or the Mountain Dome, and the Galactabeasts would somehow cross into the
subdome in which they were needed, as would be implied regularly.
705-Hmsk.
- Like the Lion, the other
four Galactabeasts apparently had hiding places of their own, with the
Condor and Gorilla
shown in forest areas and the Wolf and Wildcat shown in mountainous valleys.
710-Sunf.
- Arriving as a fireball, Torozord impacted into the ground in a forest
area, probably in the Forest Dome.
- After the Galaxy
Megazord had been defeated by giant Fishface, the ground began to
rumble; in a rocky plain in the mountains, probably in the Forest Dome, alternating slabs of rock
turned upright from the ground, forming a giant walkway of sorts, and Torozord then stamped in along the walkway; this
would be the standard method of arrival for Torozord.
- When Mega
Defender called for the Defender Torozord
the ground rumbled, and a massive podium of rock beneath the Torozord rose up from the ground, probably twice
as tall as it was wide; this would happen every time Torozord transformed.
711-SiSl.
? In a field outside a
city (presumably the main city dome), Chillyfish grew and, after being
jump-kicked, would fight Mega Defender
in the mountains, yet no mountains were supposed to be in the city dome based on exterior shots.
713-ORet.
- In one dome containing a town and a large forest,
perhaps the Forest Dome, there was a
small waterfall, as well as what looked like an ocean shore; in 714-ShAt, a treasure map from Treacheron of the Forest Dome would also appear to indicate a
shoreline.
715-RDay.
? At one end of the Mountain Dome was a mountainous hillside
with a tunnel in it, and beyond it in place of sky were towering
futuristic buildings of what was apparently the smaller industrial-type
dome adjacent to the Mountain Dome,
though the domed city (or the main city in the city dome, for that matter) would have been
too far away to appear as large as it did on the horizon.
- Leo drove a Terra Venture car down the long dome-to-dome tunnel parallel
to the edge of the main city dome; inside
the enclosed tunnel, mostly transparent, there was a slight breeze.
- The Scorpion
Stinger fired its tail blast at the tunnel, triggering an atmosphere
loss in the Mountain Dome, and Stanton had the airlocks closed; at the
other end of the tunnel, a massive, thick door lowered and sealed the
tunnel shut.
? The Scorpion Stinger approached the underside
of the Mountain Dome, which was
incorrectly depicted by shots of both the Forest Dome and another dome adjacent to the
low-elevation dome which was actually opposite the Mountain Dome.
- A white beam from the Scorpion Stinger rose up and connected to
the underside of the dome, draining energy from throughout the colony's
power system.
? A monitor in Command Headquarters showed red arrows from
the three slightly larger subdomes flowing into the Mountain Dome, yet the diagram actually
indicated the Forest Dome instead, as the
Mountain Dome was supposed to be the
adjacent larger variety.
? The smaller dome
positioned at a low elevation, its subdome-to-city tunnel connecting to
an area in the underside of the city dome
as shown in 727-LxLB, was shown without such
a tunnel on the computer schematics.
- Stanton had
all exterior portals secured.
716-DFrG.
- Somewhere in the hills surrounding the city
(presumably the main city) was a strange structure of metallic beams and
shapes; at the top was a rotating instrument of some sort, beeping.
- Somewhere downtown was an abandoned warehouse
filled with cobwebs, cobwebs perhaps generated by Skelekron, who used the warehouse
for his creation of the Skelekron
Warriors.
717-StlB.
- Somewhere in the covered outdoor area of a
building by a small rectangular artificial lake, Trakeena arrived and disguised herself as a human.
719-LGb1.
- Deviot fought the Rangers at an ocean shore in one subdome,
perhaps the Ocean Dome, before his
evil Zords would fight in a nearby
mountainous region with less forestation than the mountainous forest of
the Forest Dome.
720-LGb2.
- In a dark, cobweb-filled warehouse room appearing
to be in Terra Venture, Deviot schemed on multiple occasions.
721-Heir.
- The Rangers went
to the "Dome Five warehouse," wherever that was, where they were
confronted by Scorpius and would soon kill
him.
723-MMir.
- When summoned, the massive Zenith Carrierzord emerged from a large waterfall
somewhere and flew through the sky to launch Centaurus and Stratoforce.
724-GrCr.
- As the GSA heliship flew from Terra Venture, it passed a larger subdome
(located northwest on computer schematics)
which contained a large outer area as a flat plain, a forest ring inside
this, and a cluster of tall gray buildings in the center; this dome may
have been the location of battles involving both city and forest
environments.
- Shown behind the mixed-environment dome was a
smaller subdome, appearing to contain a small city; this was the one
dome positioned at a lower elevation than the others, with its side
tunnels going into junctions below the adjacent subdomes and its
subdome-to-city tunnel connecting beneath the city dome.
- Later, in a downtown warehouse area beside an
industrial river (probably somewhere near the shuttleport in the city dome),
giant Cannonbrawl fought the
Orion Galaxy Megazord; elsewhere, Zenith launched the S-Zords, which formed the Stratoforce Megazord over a vast mountainous
forest; Stratoforce then landed downtown.
725-BTst.
? Giant Icy Angel fought Defender Torozord and the Galaxy Megazord in the mountains, yet the
fight had previously been in the city dome.
728-RRom.
- One of the three smaller subdomes, located
between the Mountain Dome and the Industrial Dome, was industrial in
appearance, like a smaller version of the Industrial Dome.
- Maronda
attacked people near the same rectangular pond as from 717-StlB.
733-FPst.
- Having sought to lead Magnetox out of the city dome to a place where couldn't hurt
innocent people, the teens fled to an
industrial area, perhaps the Industrial
Dome or its smaller sister subdome, where huge gas containment
spheres were in the background.
- As the four had almost reached their destination,
a massive explosion erupted from an area of large piping beside them,
flinging them aside.
736-BMut.
- In the Lost Galaxy,
Captain Mutiny approached the colony,
apparently a subdome, as he prepared to board.
- Around a plaza in a city area including some
skyscrapers in what would be named Dome 07, people (mostly Terra Venture people, but a few scattered GSA teens, just as confused and held back as the
others) were being cleared out and held behind surrounding barricades by
armed troopers for their own safety.
- Inside the dome, Mutiny's two hovering dinghies rippled into
sight from beyond the sky hologram right behind a multi-story house-like
building.
- Stanton had a
heliship bring Captain Mutiny's "gift," supposedly a
machine to send Terra Venture home, to an
area beside a few Terra Venture
warehouses in a vast desert environment, with a single road leading to
the warehouses.
737-GOTL.
- After Grunchor's escape, the monster
burrowed under residential streets and plazas, and soldiers proceeded to evacuate people from
the buildings and underground areas in the dome.
- Soldiers evacuated
people from an underground stairway belonging to the building with the
square pond from 717-StlB.
- The "highway tunnel" was a tunnel for automobiles
which led through a mountain, perhaps connecting two domes; only one car
was shown driving through it before Grunchor arose from the road and
soon retreated underground again.
- To attract Grunchor in an outdoor stage area,
Barbarax struck his axe into the ground,
shaking the area; below was a civilian
subway area, with a sign on the wall leading toward the "Dome Floor."
- Grunchor
then tunneled into the Mountain Dome.
739-DrBa.
- In a subdome, a procession of soldiers, workers, GSA officers,
and Terra Venture guards were evacuating a dome sector due to
electrical instability as the colony was in a thundering pink cloud.
741-RTit.
? As Titanisaur kept walking through
the Ocean Dome (a tiny lower
mini-dome), Leo observed that he was headed for
the city dome, but how the monster would
cross domes is unknown.
- To stop giant Titanisaur from getting to the city dome, Leo summoned
the Galactabeasts, and the Orion Galaxy
Megazord, joined by Centaurus and Stratoforce on their own initiative,
confronted the monster in the mountains, some of which were bare and
bluish like those in the Mountain Dome.
- The overheating Titanisaur would soon fly back
into the ocean to cool off.
- The castle soon
detached from Titanisaur's
back, and the monster swam off, eventually attacking the city dome somehow after its fairly long swim.
743-End1.
- To begin landing procedure to approach Mirinoi, Mike announced he
was sealing all domes.
- The Scorpion
Stinger approached the Industrial
Dome and fired its tail beam repeatedly, eventually obliterating the
dome.
- Soon, the Industrial Dome was completely gone,
leaving behind partial connector tunnels; the junction below the dome's
former location was blown off as well, with some clustered mini-domes
still remaining.
- Soon, as a decoy, morphed Damon waved his arms in a dome-to-dome tunnel.
? At one point, Damon was apparently in a tunnel between two subdomes, with perhaps the Mountain Dome on his right, but the
setting would in some shots be in a city-to-dome tunnel and in others be
at the gaping hole where the Industrial
Dome had been; this is not to mention the further problem of the
domes having been previously sealed off.
- Pursuing Damon, the Stinger's pincers crushed the portion of
tunnel behind him repeatedly, shattering the glass each time, although
there was no rush of escaping air.
- At various points along a tunnel connecting the
colony's subdomes were control kiosks; one
panel on a kiosk was "Transit Tunnel
Efficiency", and below was "<?> Functions."
- Down the tunnel were blue triangle arrows near
the floor indicating that travelers were to travel on the right.
? Left in the wake of
an explosion which stunned the Scorpion
Stinger was a large gap in the tunnel which was now shown as a
subdome-to-city tunnel; the other end was still attached to something,
yet the Scorpion Stinger had been
shown falling from the former position of the destroyed Industrial Dome.
- As the crippled colony drifted toward Mirinoi's moon, Stanton had all fuel valves closed.
- Its engines skidding
along the surface of the moon, Terra
Venture slammed into a mountainous cliff which ended just below the
city dome, and the entire dome was wripped
from the rest of Terra Venture with
explosions, the bottom portion erupting with more explosions.
- The saucer-like city
dome flew from the mountain as a huge explosion came from behind the
mountain, with some mini-dome cluster sections still off to the side
unfazed by the explosion.
- The disconnected city
dome still had one remaining tunnel portion sticking out of it,
perhaps the one blown in half from the explosion which had crippled the
Scorpion Stinger.
744-End2.
- After the city dome
had been wrenched from Terra Venture and
the rest had apparently been destroyed, Stratoforce, Centaurus, and the Galactabeasts had survived.

719-LGb1.
- Deviot fought the Rangers at an ocean shore in one subdome, perhaps the Ocean Dome, before his evil
Zords would fight in a nearby
mountainous region with less trees than the mountainous forest of the Forest Dome.
727-LxLB.
- The Ocean Dome was a tiny subdome among a lower
cluster; it contained an ocean of indeterminate size, a rocky beach with
at least one hidden cavern, and apparently a sizeable region of bluish
mountains.
741-RTit.
- At the beach (later shown to be the Ocean Dome),
where it appeared to be dawn, a "Beach Closed" caution stand was in the
white sand between a cliff and an ocean.
- Barbarax and Swabbies ran up to the beach as Barbarax concluded it was the perfect place, but
the Rangers confronted him.
- Barbarax soon struck
the ground, sending an explosive blast through the ground and blasting
the Rangers.
- Suddenly, the ground began to quake with massive
footsteps, and the enormous Titanisaur soon emerged from the
ocean, stomping near the Rangers.
? As Titanisaur kept walking through
the Ocean Dome (a tiny lower mini-dome), Leo
observed that he was headed for the city
dome, but how the monster would cross domes is unknown.
- To stop giant Titanisaur from getting to the city dome, the Zords confronted the monster in the mountains,
some of which were bare and bluish like those in the Mountain Dome.
- The overheating Titanisaur would soon fly back
into the ocean to cool off.
- The castle soon
detached from Titanisaur's
back, and the monster swam off, eventually attacking the city dome somehow after its fairly long swim.
