Their missions tend to require a level of administrative and technical skills that make them more akin to an auditor or investigator and a ranger, in providing knowledge and assistance to settlers who may be in over their heads--and checking up on those who may be up to no good. What differentiates Rangers from Soldiers? Mainly, their M.O. is to see justice prevail, they're not looking to recoup a profit or corporate interests. Many times this mandate can even put them at odds with private sector objectives. This role often requires them to be equal parts spy, detective, and with many skills obviously identical to the soldier. However, Rangers are much more like free-wheeling investigators and independent marshals of the law and less so a straight-up fighting force. Due to the varied nature of missions and sparse Ranger population for a given jurisdiction, they're used to working solo or in small groups. While they can operate in a larger force, they typically are assigned to smaller task forces (as the only Ranger) or partnered with someone who complements—rather than mirrors—their own abilities. Galactic Rangers are highly skilled, expertly trained, and well-equipped marshals of justice who operate in outer space and non-terrestrial bodies. They are deputized by the local/ruling space authority to perform a wide range of duties including: law enforcement, investigation, search and reconnaissance, rescue and/or retrieval, a variety of high-risk, tactical missions, and more. Galactic Rangers also have full knowledge of the ruling galactic authority's government structure, function, and related protocols. The psychological profile of Rangers is typically self-determined individuals who would rather work independently or in a pinch give orders, rather than take them. Their tactical training and firmly, unflagging self-confidence, and belief that their appointed task is for the greater good, affords the Rangers an added benefit of personal integrity.
