Senshi Devisions: Good Soldiers | |||

Mercury | Pluto | Star Healer | Ceres |

Jupiter | Uranus | Star Fighter | Pallas |
Venus | Saturn | Vesta |
Sailormoon, Sailorchibi-moon, and Sailorchibichibi are not included in this table because, in the old Moon Kingdom and in Neo-Tokyo, where the kingdom was in tact, they were not soldiers, they were princesses/queens. Basically, the senshi in the chart above have connections to their fellow group members, and fight together a lot, while Sailormoon, Sailorchibi-moon, and Sailorchibi-chibi don't (On my Senshi Tour, I called them the 'Royal Senshi,' but that was my personal grouping, not an official one).
