Rookie of the Year is the fifty-first episode of Buzz Lightyear of Star Command. It first aired on October 21, 2000, and is the fifty-second episode in production.
Synopsis
Mira, Booster and XR compete to be named "Rookie of the Year."
Plot
From his ship, Zurg watches a live broadcast taking place in front of Luma 9. According to Brent Starkisser, the Galactic Alliance is hosting its latest top secret summit there and because of this, Space Rangers are patrolling the space station like crazy to keep out intruders and protect the Galactic Alliance from any attacks. This gives Zurg the idea to launch a Hornet attack to destroy the space station.
The Hornets approach the station, only to be met with laser fire from every Space Ranger present. Ranger and Hornet fly to and fro, as the Rangers shoot them down like flies while the Hornets try to get to the station. Meanwhile many Galactic Alliance representatives are watching the action behind a large window, and almost end up fried. But they are saved, thanks to Buzz's intervention.
After watching Booster and XR take out many Hornets, Buzz alerts his team that two Hornets plan to blow up the space station with a plasma bomb, or in Booster's words, 'blow up the whole space station sky-high'. XR remarks the redundancy of the situation.

While the two would-be bombers are trying to set up the bomb, another two Hornets act as their backup, firing upon Team Lightyear. Every attack misses the team. Buzz decides to enact a team move, known as 'Team Formation Zeta.' The team lines up together and all of them, save XR, fire at the Hornets and blast them to bits.
