Andros Khayman

Andros Khayman was the Red Astro Ranger and leader of the Astro Rangers prior to the September 11th Attacks. He is the older brother of Karone Khayman and the younger brother of Bryan Khayman. He was born on the colony of KO-35, and serves as a member of the Jedi Order of Earth where he holds the rank of Jedi Knight. He currently works as a Special Agent with NCIS in Washington D.C. under the supervision of Leroy Jethro Gibbs. After Gibbs retired in 2021 and Timothy McGee passed on the position, NCIS Director Leon Vance placed Andros in charge of the MCRT.

Early Life
When Andros was a child, Karone was kidnapped by the bounty hunter Darkonda. Andros made it his goal to find his sister. As a teenager on KO-35, Andros and his best friend Zhane joined the army of KO-35 in hopes of one day being Power Rangers. Later being chosen by the great sage Zordon, to become the galaxies first space rangers, giving them a space ship like command center, the first Astro Megaship and four other Astro Morphers to choose 4 other Rangers. After becoming the Red Astro Ranger, he and Zhane, the Silver Astro Ranger, teamed up to defend the galaxy, on the request of Zordon. On one mission, Zhane was mortally wounded and Andros kept him alive by freezing him in a cryogenic tube inside the Astro Megaship. Andros later blamed Bryan for Zhane's injuries and many of the attacks on KO-35 claiming that the attacks had become more frequent and more intense after Bryan returned from Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy to which Bryan said that if it was his fault, KO-35 would have been attacked by the Galactic Empire. Eventually the fighting between the two got so bad that Bryan left KO-35 telling Andros to find him when the Empire did eventually show up.

The New Team
After the Turbo Rangers Theodore Johnson, Carlos Vallerte, Ashley Hammond, and Cassie Chan left the Earth after the Power Chamber and their powers had been destroyed, they accidentally boarded the Megaship. Andros found them, first mistaking them for intruders, though he fixes Alpha 6's voice circuitry allowing him to speak properly again. After some convincing, he gave them the other four Astro Morphers to become Space Rangers. In their first battle, Andros and the others managed to combine the Astro Megaship with the Astro Megashuttle, forming the Astro Megazord. Andros became the leader of the team and their mission became to find the missing Zordon and protect Earth from Astronema.

During this time, Andros developed a relationship with Ashley. At the same time, Zhane was released from the cyrogenic chamber when the Megaship crashed, and the two friends were reunited. Andros became jealous when he saw Zhane spending time with Ashley, but Zhane convinced him that they were just friends, so Andros was able to ask her out on a date. He also discovered that Karone had become the evil princess Astronema. Although he managed to convince her to change her allegiance, she was captured again while helping the Rangers and brainwashed. In the final battle, Andros boarded Astronema's Dark Fortress and discovered Zordon, who had been missing since 1997. At Zordon's insistence, and with much hesitation, Andros shattered Zordon's energy tube, which destroyed him and released a wave of energy that destroyed the army attacking the universe. This act not only freed Astronema of her brainwashing, it had also unknown to Andros at the time, freed Michael Myers from the Curse of Thorn. After the battle, Andros ultimately chose to return with his fellow Rangers to live on Earth, and not stay on his homeworld. A few months later, Andros' actions drew the attention of Imperial Moff Tiaan Jerjerrod who ordered a mission to investigate what had happened. The revelation of the Rangers' true identities also drew attention from the CIA who sent in Agent Sam Thompson under the guise of a military officer to investigate the Rangers. Thompson quickly set his sights on Andros, Karone, and Zhane and frequently blamed them for his frequent and often amusing self-inflicted injuries.

Family Reunion
In 1999, the seven found life in Angel Grove, California as newfound celebrities to be too much for them to bear and the six Rangers moved to New York City after dealing with a problem on the colony Terra Venture while Karone set off to atone for her sins as Astronema. This brought Andros who had now with much encouragement from Zhane to propose to Ashley into contact with Bryan who was living in New York and working as a member of the New York City Police Department. The two began fighting again until both Ashley and Zhane got caught in the middle of the fighting as Bryan had been giving Ashley tickets for assorted nonsense motor vehicle and parking violations. The two eventually agreed to a truce after Marcus Jacobs who was one of Bryan's friends, fellow police officers, and a Jedi himself told Bryan that "They're here" referring to the Empire and Ashley threatened to report Bryan to the NYPD as a corrupt cop. After meeting his twin nephews Jake Khayman and Jeremy Khayman, Andros would eventually married Ashley and the two had their first child soon after, a son named Troy Khayman. After Troy was born, Bryan revealed that it was likely that Andros and Troy would be able to use The Force themselves adding that Troy should be trained one day. With the Empire having been dealt with by Bryan and his own team, Andros lived in peace and quiet for once and took delivery of a second Astro Megaship after Karone told him that the first one had been destroyed. However, this quiet was shattered in September of 2001 when the Empire returned to Earth in force.

On the morning of September 11th, Andros had been contacted by DECA and informed that a fleet of Imperial Star Destroyers had been detected near the Earth's moon. Although the attack on the World Trade Center was technically not a Ranger problem, the Rangers still felt duty-bound to help anyway they could with the evacuation of the buildings in Lower Manhattan. Andros took two personal losses that day when it was discovered that Carlos and T.J. had been inside the Twin Towers when they collapsed. He gave the Black Astro Morpher to Bryan and the Blue Morpher to one of Bryan's other friends and fellow officers, Steven Porter. Still grief-stricken over the loss of two Rangers and friends, Andros and Ashley gave their morphers to Bryan who gave the red one to Marcus while giving the yellow one to his new girlfriend Jennifer. The next day, Cassie was killed in the first battle between the Rangers and the Empire followed by Zhane giving up his morpher after rescuing Karone from Death Star III which had destroyed the Khayman's homeworld of KO-35 as punishment for Karone's so-called treason. After attempting to hide his grief behind a bottle, Andros was convinced by Zhane to help with the work that needed to be done at the World Trade Center Site. Andros found some comfort and closure in this work and noted the badge and shield numbers of recovered police officers and firefighters from the site telling Zhane he felt something great in the future when he picked up the shield of a fallen firefighter numbered 7567. He wouldn't discover the significance of this find until 2019 after sending Troy to handle some family business that involved the Spectres. NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo Jr. later told everyone that Andros had retroactively imposed Gibbs Rule #45 on Bryan which earned DiNozzo an angry glare from Andros and a smack upside the head from Gibbs.

Moving On
By 2004, Andros had become father to a second child and was given the rank of Jedi Knight by Kyp Durron along with whatever training he needed. Soon after, the FBI offered Andros a job working with Bryan and Bryan's team which included Remnant Officer Tevin Felth among others. Andros remained at this job until the end of 2008 when he was hired by NCIS as Director Leon Vance wanted both a Jedi and a Khayman working there and found that Bryan's personality was likely to clash with that of Agent Gibbs. During 2008, he and Bryan were among the Jedi who traveled to the town of Haddonfield, Illinois after hearing that the Sith Lord Darth Sidious had surfaced and was preparing to help Doctor Terence Wynn inflict the Curse of Thorn on Michael Myers' son Josh. The two Khaymans served primarily to help the Haddonfield Police Department deal with any invasion of the town by Wynn's Battle Droids and were equally shocked when they discovered one of the after-effects of Andros shattering Zordon's Tube was that Michael was a Jedi himself. In 2009, Andros now a part of Gibbs' Team at NCIS returned to Haddonfield with the NCIS Team after being called by Myers and Tommy Doyle regarding a number of murdered Marines in the town. During this investigation, he was paired up with Myers as the two eventually confronted their suspect. In 2010, he visited New York after Sidious murdered Bryan and informed Felth that Myers had been tapped as Bryan's replacement. He also spoke with Remnant General Joseph Rodgers and Remnant Admiral Firmus Piett regarding arrangements to move the Megaship to Washington D.C. as soon as he got permission from Director Vance which was denied due to space constraints at the Washington Navy Yard for the record and due to the off the record possibility of Gibbs, Timothy McGee, and or Abby Sciuto destroying or damaging the ship.

In 2016, Andros took part in an operation that ended with the death of rogue former CIA operative Trent Kort who was responsible for the alleged death of Ziva David and selling secrets to Russia in 2002 as well as a number of other murders. This earned Andros a visit from Thompson who was quickly ejected from NCIS Headquarters by Gibbs with a veiled threat that if Thompson ever showed his face around Gibbs or his team and their families again, Gibbs would see to it that the next time Thompson entered NCIS HQ, it would be for an autopsy.

In 2019, Andros sent Troy to New York to retrieve Bryan's personal data off of the Megaship after he heard that the ship had been used by Anakin Skywalker and the Jedi Order of Earth during Operation Lothal Freedom and was subject to use by New Republic General Hera Syndulla and the Spectres as per Tevin Felth who had succeeded Rodgers as the Remnant Commander in New York. When Troy returned with the data, he mentioned to Andros that Felth and Myers had ordered Thompson killed for a reason that was unknown to him among other things relating to the ship and the Spectres. In 2021 as the second person in the team's chain of command and seniority, Andros is named by Vance as Special Agent in Charge of the MCRT following the retirement of Gibbs and McGee passing on the position citing his family obligations. Andros leads the NCIS MCRT the same way he led the Astro Rangers with Ashley commenting that his new team has more experience at their jobs then she did as a Ranger when they first met.

Future
In 2024, Andros along with other retired Power Rangers such as Tommy Oliver and Zhane took part in the battle against the First Order Fleet serving on the Astro Megaship and arriving as part of a massive fleet organized by Tevin Felth in response to counter the massive planet-destroying fleet being commanded by First Order General Enric Pryde. He is mentioned in 2031 as taking an interest in a missile project after the Remnant discovered the project file in Philadelphia with a murder victim. He eventually tells General Typher Marlion to keep him in the loop as the investigation by Marlion's staff and the Remnant Security Bureau continues. Andros is later mentioned by Marlion after finding out that Ziva David was involved with the interrogation of Imperial Navy Captain Auler by her father Eli David following the Battle of Gratha and instructs Jason Oliver to contact Andros for information on how to contact Ziva.
