Welcome to Distant Soldiers Introduction. A thorough prelude of the outer senshi as a whole. We hope to answer all your questions!

The Outer senshi, are part of the Sailor Scouts in the popular anime/manga Sailor Moon (for people who are not that familiar with the series). In the past during the Silver Millenium while the inner scouts guarded the Moon Kingdom and the Princess. Sailor Uranus and Neptune guarded the outskirts of the solar system from aliens (they were the first means of defense). Sailor Pluto, at that time, was guarding the Time Gate for all eternity from intruders, but very rarely, she left the time gate, to help Sailor Uranus and Neptune. Sailor Saturn was called at the end of the Silver Millenium to bury the remains of the Moon Kingdom-hence the ruins. Unlike the other Sailor Senshi, her purpose is simple: if even Sailor Pluto can't stop an invasion, Saturn awakens to destroy everything. That's why (like the inner scouts), they were reborn.

The Outer Senshi when first introduced (in Sailor Moon S), they were very mysterious. You never really thought of Sailor Uranus, Neptune, Saturn, and Pluto as a "team" until the end of the season. In manga, most of the readers seemed to like them. But in Anime on the other hand, they were taken very badly. I guess people weren't really ready for a change. The outer and inner sailors, both had there own missions, (in Sailor Moon S), being that the inners wanted to protect the princess (Sailor Moon), and that the Outers wanted to protect the world (by finding the Talismans at the time. Look at picture at the bottom). Their part in Sailor Moon is very diverse in the manga and anime. Because in Manga they come back in the fourth season. BUT in the Anime, you have to wait a whole season to see them again (in the 5th season)! But whether anime or manga, the inners and outers pretty much become a whole team and resolve there differences, so they have the same goal in life, which at the end is protecting the world AND guarding Sailor Moon.

The Outer scouts in future Crystal Tokyo, are doing the same thing that they did in the past. Sailor Uranus and Neptune are guarding the outer intruders of space, Sailor Pluto guarding the Time Gate, and Sailor Saturn sleeping only to be awakened to detroy the world.(Note: the info about the outer's positions in the future wasn't said directly in text but it was pieced together by reading manga volume 18, the infinity and materials collections, and comments made by the sailor moon creator, Taceuchi Naoko). Even if they went there own seperate ways, they all shared one thing that they could never break apart. The Outer Senshi.
