- "Galaxy Yellow!"
- ―Yellow Galaxy Ranger's Roll Call[src]
Maya is a tribesgirl from the jungle planet Mirinoi and Galaxy Yellow of the Galaxy Rangers.
She is also referred to as Yellow Galaxy Ranger or Lost Galaxy Yellow Ranger - variations on her in-show label, though the latter is more in reference to the show than a proper label.
History[]
Early Life[]
Prior to the events that took place in "Quasar Quest", Maya lead a peaceful life on the planet of Mirinoi with her tribe. She, like many others in the village (including her childhood friend, Shondra), grew up listening to the wise man, Jera, retell the legend of the Quasar Sabers, placed in the stone altar 3000 years ago.
As a child, Maya attempted pull the Pink Quasar Saber from the stone to no avail while Shondra tried to pull the Blue Saber to no avail as well. They kept doing it until they developed blisters on their hands. TV STORY-Memories of Mirinoi
Lost Galaxy[]
In the present day of 1999, the planet was attacked by Furio, Scorpius' general, in an attempt to gain possession of the Sabers. An adult Maya fled from her village with the rest of her people perused by Stingwingers. She was eventually chased through a portal that lead her to Earth's moon where she encountered Kai Chen, Kendrix Morgan, Mike and Leo Corbett, citizens of the space colony Terra Venture.
When the Stingwingers emerged from the portal, the four protected her from harm and though she was grateful, she chose to return to Mirinoi to save it from Furio. Mike and Kendrix followed her, choosing to help her despite the risk that they would be left behind. They would later be followed by Leo, Kai and Damon Henderson (a GSA mechanic for the Astro Megaship).
Maya was among the original five who pulled the Sabers from the stone and became the Yellow Galaxy Ranger. Proud of her position as a Ranger, Maya believed that as a team, the group could overcome Scorpius' evil and restore her planet to its original state. Maya is an empath, highly sensitive to the world around her. Her connection with nature allows her to understand everything and everyone around her, particularly the Galactabeasts (an ability she would later teach to Leo). On occasion, she's received clairvoyant dreams or feelings concerning the Lights of Orion, Mike, Kendrix and Trakeena's rise to power after the death of Scorpius.
On top of her empathic abilities, Maya is also a skilled fighter, fueled by an unwillingness to back down (especially when slighted for her gender) or forced to retreat from battle when she believes she has the upper hand. On more than one occasion, she clashed with Trakeena's general, Deviot, often attacking him first upon arriving on the scene.
She formed a particularly close friendship with both Kendrix and later Karone, who was chosen by her friend to take her place as the Pink Galaxy Ranger after she died.

She mutates, but not as she expected and she is now a giant, tentacled, fire-breathing monstrosity rampaging through Mariner Bay. The Lightspeed Rangers turn to the Omega Megazord and the Max Solarzord. Just when the Galaxy Rangers wish the Galactabeasts were on Earth, they show up.
The Galaxy Rangers join the battle with the Galaxy Megazord. The Omega and Galaxy Megazords combine their special attacks and fire at Trakeena but she still lives. The resulting explosion disengages the Galaxy Megazord, Maya and the Galaxy Rangers are knock unconscious.
The Omega Megazord lifts the fallen Rangers, and it is powered up by the Lights of Orion, gaining the familiar Orion armor. The Omega Megazord powers its weapon up as well as the Galaxy Megazord Saber (complete with Lightspeed insignia) and ultimately destroys Trakeena for good.
