The Moaiders (モアイダー, Moaidā) are the fighter crafts of Space Shogunate Jark Matter, serving in air raid invasions and engagements against the Rebellion's Kyurangers. Piloted by the Indaver grunts, they are summoned by the Big Moraimars. They typically operate in groups of three even within greater squadrons.

History

The Moaiders saw extensive action as part of Jark Matter's invasion of the 88 constellation systems, from complimenting the subjugation of the Sasori System TV STORY-Space.5: 9 Ultimate Saviors to striking even Earth itself. TV STORY-Space.1: The Super Stars of Space

On the flat world of Crotus, the Moaiders attacked both transports and cities before being engaged by the first three Kyurangers' Voyagers. Later, a flight of Moaiders were sent forth by Karo Eriedrone's Big Moraimars as part of his bid to eliminate the Kyurangers on Jagjag. Most notably, a single Moaider caught Lucky on its hull before being ordered by Eriedrone to ascend through the atmosphere and condemn him to die in the vacuum. However, Lucky was able to save himself by awakening his Shishi Kyutama; those Moaiders that remained were destroyed by the Voyagers. TV STORY-Space.1: The Super Stars of Space

A squadron of Moaiders failed to defend Eriedrone's Big Moraimars from a gathering of all nine KyurenOh Voyagers. TV STORY-Space.5: 9 Ultimate Saviors

A personalized Moaider fighter served as Madakko's space vehicle. She used it while chased by the Kyurangers' Voyagers, having stolen the Rashinban Kyutama. The chase suddenly ended when she fell through a blockhole, leading to the Moaider's destruction when it crashed on an alternate Earth. TV STORY-Space.18: Emergency Dispatch! Space Hero!

A basic Moaider fighter was used by Karo Scorpio to travel from Earth to Keel in order to seize the Ryukotsu System's Kyutama. TV STORY-Space.19: The Elf of Forest Planet Keel

A massive fleet of Moaiders was assigned to defend the reinforcements of Moraimars as they began to drain all the Planetium on Earth. In space, the Moaiders assaulted the Orion but were intercepted and destroyed by the Ryu, Chameleon and Kajiki Voyagers. Soon after, Houou Soldier, wielding the Transformation Rotating Sword Houou Blade & Houou Shield, destroyed the Moaiders on Earth single-handed before destroying Scorpio's Big Moraimars with the Phoenix End, deactivating all Moraimars on Earth.

The Kyurangers' plan to time travel.

Attempting to travel back in time over 300 years to discover how Don Armage survived his apparent defeat, the Kyurangers projected an "Enemy Space Command" consisting of 1200 Moaiders and three Moraimars led by a single Big Moraimars to attack them as they arrived. In anticipation, the Kyurangers planned to split up with a designated Defense Team intercepting the fleet as the Scout Team pursued Don Armage on Zagill.

Moraimars and Moaiders rout the Kyurangers from Southern Cross.

A fleet of Morimers and Moaiders defended Jark Matter's capital, planet Southern Cross of the Minami Juuji System, forcing the Kyurangers' Battle Orion Ship to retreat when they were repulsed by the system-wide barrier. Soon after, on the planet Luth in the Kojishi System, Karo Wunjet unleashed a batch of Moaiders against Super KyurenOh only to see them all shot down by the Kojishi Voyager. TV STORY-Space.36: The Legend That Sleeps in Lucky's Homeworld Returning to the system with the four Kyutama, the Orion Battler quickly destroyed the fleet before proceeding to break the barrier. TV STORY-Space.41: Rushing! Planet Southern Cross

Returning to Earth, the Battle Orion Ship was attacked by a fleet of Moaiders which were engaged by the Ookami, Chameleon and Kajiki Voyagers as the others landed on the planet. TV STORY-Space.45: Tsurugi's Life and Earth's Crisis

A huge fleet of Moaiders was part of an armada of vehicles that was under the command of Asmodeus which would serve the aforementioned evildoer’s nefarious goals of creating a story that would consist of pitch black chaos.

Oddly enough, the aforementioned Moaiders were not part of the armada itself when it was summoned by Asmodeus after he was defeated by both Kamen Rider Revi and Kamen Rider Vice in order for him to absorb his armada so that he could transform into his giant dragon form.
