Rangers

The Rangers are an order of Venari soldiers and hunters dedicated to securing samples of every known living being to exist. Formed after an ecological disaster on their homeworld of Venaral, they study living beings in order to see how best they can heal their world.
==Philosophy==
Initially, the Rangers were founded to solve the problem of Venaral's wildlife being wiped out, and were sent out to various planets to extract animals that would be brought home later on. However, over time this would turn into a more research-driven goal, with scientists among the Rangers seeking to study various lifeforms, thus justifying the need to capture sentient beings. This research was done to see what living beings were the strongest as well as to find out how best Venaral's ecosystem can be healed. If a Ranger decides to keep an offworld creature in their possession, it is generally frowned upon but not against the rules of the organization.
===The Ranger's Decree===
The Ranger's Decree is a sacred code that all Rangers heed to, and swear to follow as part of their training. The Decree has been changed over the years due to the changing philosophies of the organization.
1. A Ranger will seek to study and secure any lifeforms they encounter.
2. A Ranger will not hesistate to use their entire toolkit to their advantage.
3. A Ranger will not shy away from a fight, nor will they retreat from it.
4. A Ranger must keep their equipment in good care, and must prepare for anything they face.
5. A Ranger will obey this Decree without question, and failure to do so will result in expulsion from the organization.
==Equipment==
The Rangers have a varied toolset that they use for their missions. In regards to weapons, no Ranger will use every single one, and usually tend to pick out a single weapon to master.
==Appearances==
===A Ranger's Duty===
The Rangers first appear in A Ranger's Duty, where their general mission and goals are first mentioned. Solotus is also introduced as a Ranger who plays loosely by the rules, and generally sticks to the "old" style of Rangers that were closer to wildlife.
==Trivia==
