Buzz Lightyear of Star Command is a name of a

The premise of the show is that, within the Toy Story universe, "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command" is actually the TV show which inspired the Buzz Lightyear toy line, and namely, the creation of the Buzz Lightyear toy, as shown by the intro sequence, done by Pixar especially for the series. In this 3D CGI sequence Buzz Lightyear along with the other toys is in Andy's room getting ready to watch the show on TV, which follows to the rest of the intro, several clips from the traditionally animated show itself.

The actual TV show follows the adventures of Buzz Lightyear and his Star Command cadet team as they struggle to keep justice in the galaxy, often thwarting the evil

• Captain Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen in The Adventure Begins, Patrick Warburton in the actual series): Famed "Space Ranger" known for heroism and bravery. Like his Toy Story incarnation, Buzz's personality is somewhat tightly wound, and he's quite a stickler for procedure. He attended PS -19^3 as a primary school.
• Princess Mira Nova (Nicole Sullivan): A rookie ranger and heir to the Tangean throne, with the ability to walk through walls and read minds. (it's the ability of her planet's people to do so). She seems to have the most common sense of the group, and can at times be something of a smart-mouth.
• Booster Munchapper (Stephen Furst): A dinosaur-like former janitor from the agricultural planet of Jo-ad (a play on the name of the Joad family, from John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath), with a big appetite and lots of muscle power. Big-hearted, but somewhat simple-minded and not particularly brave.
• XR (
  Bender
  ). Xr stands for experimental ranger (or expendable ranger, depending on your point of view). He's somewhat neurotic, and gets blown up on nearly every mission he goes on. Thankfully(or Unfortunately, once more depending on your point of view), he can be rebuilt provided all of his parts are salvaged.

Other Personnel

• Commander Nebula (Adam Carolla): Their commander, missing a leg. Rather angry. Hates to do paperwork and signs them without reading them. Considered to be a father by XR (the LGM's slipped in XR's construction request with the vacation request forms, knowing Nebula would sign it without even looking).
• Ty Parsec (Steve Hytner): Ty is the infamous old comrade of Buzz Lightyear. The Space Ranger was transformed into the robotic Wirewolf on the planet of Canis Lunis, after being bitten by the villain, NOS-4-A2. Appeared in two episodes, with a cameo appearance in the episode War, Peace, and War.
• Rocket Crocket (Phil LaMarr): Member of Star Command and leader of Team Rocket.
• Dr. Osma Furbanna (Linda Hamilton): Lead (and only) naturalist on planet Karn. She favors all animals, even the lethal carnivores, and hates to have them hurt; no matter what. Has a crush on Buzz (won't admit it, though), and vice-versa. Zurg once used her help to hatch the Millennial Bugs in his latest plot.
• LGMs, or Little Green Men (Warburton): The LGMs are small aliens who keep Star Command in shape (originally appeared as squeeze toy aliens in Toy Story).

The Villains

• Evil Emperor Zurg (Wayne Knight): Main villain
  of the series. Rules his own evil empire, and wants to rule the entire galaxy. Most of his subjects are robots. His feet double as rockets and he can transform his arms into a variety of energy weapons. Despite being fairly campy (often screwing up the seriousness of otherwise purely evil statements), he's widely considered the most evil person in the galaxy, especially by the other villains.
• Warp Darkmatter (also known as Agent Z) (Diedrich Bader): Buzz's one time partner, but now a recurring bad guy. Lost his right arm after being buried in an avalanche by Zurg on a routine mission with Buzz, now works as a mercenary in Zurg's employ.
• Brain Pods (Various Voices for each one):
  Cybernetic
  brains in mobile jars who serve Zurg as scientists and researchers.
• Grubs (Frank Welker): Zurg's equivalents to the LGMs of Star Command (though far less competent), more technicians and mechanics than the Brain Pods.
• "Hornets": The Hornets are Zurg's
  battle droids from Star Wars
  ), lousy shots, and always get vaporized in mass numbers by Lightyear's team.
• "NOS-4-A2" (
  robotic Vampire created by Zurg, capable of draining any system or entity driven by electrical power, as well as turning living organisms into robots. He is the one whose responsible for biting Ty Parsec resulting in the Space Ranger turning into Wirewolf. His name is a pun on the term Nosferatu
  .
• Torque (Brad Garrett): Minor alien bad guy who commited crimes of terrorism, smuggling, arson, and unpaid parking tickets. After being freed from a prisonj transport by Zurg and his Hornets, the Grubs implanted a cell-separation device upon his chest which allows Torque to have the ability to create duplicate versions of himself.
• XL (Bobcat Goldthwait): Earlier version of XR, which was shut down due to his evil attitude. When he was reactivated by Zurg, XL became larger and more powerful due to his rebuilding himself with stolen robot parts. Also has a red (As opposed to XR's yellow) head.
• Gravitina (Kerri Kenney-Silver): A big-headed female villain with mental control over gravity. One of Zurg's allies. In love with Buzz.
• Evil Buzz Lightyear (Patrick Warburton): A ruthless, pure evil version of Buzz Lightyear from an alternate reality. He was his reality's ruler, head of a vast evil empire, and was very cruel and cunning, manipulating Zurg and Gravitina (who adored him) to his own wicked ends. He is the exact opposite of Buzz in personality and demeanor, wears a modified uniform in colors similar to Zurg's, and has a goatee.
• Wirewolf: Formerly Space Ranger Ty Parsec. After being bitten by NOS-4-A2, the radiation of Canis Lunus's Green Moon turns him into a robotic werewolf, who, like his creator, feeds on energy.
• Gargantian Militants: Tiny terrorists who hide in robotic exosuits disguised as allies of their enemies. They are led by Tremendor (Kevin Michael Richardson). Another known Gargantian Militant is Monumentus (Charles Fleischer).
• Tangean Grounders: Ground-living terrorists of Tangea. They can blow stuff up with their minds. Grounder Clay (Jess Harnell) and Grounder Marl (John Kassir) are examples of Grounders that live on Tangea. A Tangean Grounder named Romac (David James Elliott), who was Mira's ex-boyfriend, was hired by Zurg to obtain Brain Pod #57.
• Rentwhistle Swack (French Stewart): He was first seen poaching creatures on Karn.
• Crumford Lorak (Jon Favreau): Resident of Trade World who one time impursonated Senator Banda of Bathyos.
• Smeego (Phil LaMarr): A fidgety small time crook and acquaintance of Torque. He can sometimes be found on Trade World.
• Roswellean Major (Peter MacNicol): A member of Planet Roswell's military who captured Team Lightyear in hopes to dissect them. After they got away, he was demoted to Private by his General. He later sided with Zurg in his domination of Roswell which is thwarted by Buzz and Booster.
• Raenoks: The Raenoks are the fiercest aleins in the Galaxy. Varg (Kevin Michael Richardson) is the supreme commander of the Raenok military. Kleev (Clancy Brown) is the leader of the Raenoks.
• Shiv Katall (Patrick Warburton): A mysterious soldier of fortune/mercenary/hitman/bounty hunter usually hired by Zurg to eliminate defecting Brain-pods and Grubs. He is secretly a covert identity adopted by Buzz Lightyear, and before Buzz, Commander Nebula. Unfortunately, that identity was compromised due to the actions of Mira, Booster and XR.
• Norbert Q. Klerm (Mitchell Whitfield): The rich and ruthless head of the business company "Compu-klerm." Bears an uncanny resemblance to Bill Gates.
• Chlorm Scientists: Era (Jonathan Harris), Eon (Bill Mumy), and Epoch (Frank Welker) are Chlorm scientists who implanted devices into Buzz and Warp Darkmatter to study good and evil. Buzz and Warp thwarted them. They later kidnapped Galactic Alliance scientists for their zoos which Team Lightyear thwarted.
• Natron (Diedrich Bader): An ancient evil space mummy. In his time, he ruled the universe as an ultimate "invincible" evil. Defeated and imprisoned by "The Protector," he vowed to once again rule the universe, and is awakened by the LGMs on Planet X thousands of years later.
• Team Lightyear Clones: Created by Zurg to thwart the real Team Lightyear. The clones however were released from their tubes prematurely, thus are kids. Their distilled evil was 12, compared to Zurg's 13. Wanting to have a robot similar to XR, the kids create X-Treme.
  • Zzub (Cloned from Buzz) (Patrick Warburton):
