Galaxy Ranger

"*Wait Matt look!"
"T-that's is certainly the* Wolfram*-class ranger armour, and we only know one person with that armour taken by the Galra."
"Samuel Colt!"*"
—Pidge and Matt Holt looking at Galran security footage of Galaxy Ranger in armour escaping an Galran research facility, being identified as Samuel Colt.

**Galaxy Rangers** are an elite warrior class originating from Humanity, deployed special operation commandos by the Galaxy Garrison. Tasked in the most dangerous missions in the Sol system, they are highly trained and specialized individuals sent to the unmapped, unexplored regions of their solar system.

Eventually twelve Galaxy Rangers were captured by the Galra as they entered the Sol system in search of one of the Lions, being identified **Target Priority-1** after demonstrating their combat prowess in their escape after months of being prisoners. Having no way to return back to Earth, the twelve formed four squads and traversed the universe and becoming a widely known splinter cell. Their reputation as some of the universe's most versatile and armed bounty hunters even reached to the Milky Way galaxy, where their exploits were uncovered by the Garrison.

## Description

"*Sire, another of our research facilities has been attacked."
"So... what is this attacker and why is it so much trouble to just destroy it?"
## "He is human, and his combat prowess far exceeds most of our soldiers. Here's a footage of the individual."
"Locate him at once, his prowess is beyond what had seen in rebel fighters, that is an Target Priority-1 order. Locate and execute the armoured rebel."*"
—An Galran officer and Zarkon.

According to Pidge, Galaxy Rangers are the most impressive, skilled and educated individuals in the Galaxy Garrison belonging to the Galaxy Ranger Corps. As Pidge showed the footage of Samuel Colt in his *Wolfram*-class ranger armour, Allura noted on his overall physical abilities and combat prowess being beyond what even the Paladins demonstrated, even impressing Keith. Pidge explained the Rangers are trained very thoroughly to support research missions and to perform in any conditions on any terrain, trained to learn over three martial arts style, handle any equipment (human or non-human), hacking and even engineering and creation, the rangers is what the Garrison calls the "pinnacle of humanity" in the current century. Trained in combat, they should be considered near or at peak human strength, capable of exerting 1,800-2,000 lbs (about 816.466-907.185 kg) over-head, and 3,500-4,000 lbs (about 1587.573-1814.369 kg) bench press, however Pidge noted this was through experimental bodily modifications to achieve such a feat, killing more then half of the 200 ranger cadets. They're also increasingly fast, however they only peak in sprinting speed of 25 miles per hour while some achieved the upper limit of 27.00 miles per hour. Due to their intensive training, they are highly reactive and has been shown to react to any situation accordingly, even to the unexpected outcomes.

To the Galra Empire, one Ranger, Samuel Colt is considered one of their most highest wanted rebel fighters, to which Zarkon almost made him almost equal to that of Voltron as an one-man army. Samuel demonstrated profound combat prowess that it took the strongest of androids and the Empire's best combatants to make him fall back, including utilized their newer weapons to bypass the ranger armour energy support systems and deflector shielding to cause direct damage. Zarkon reviewed and consider Samuel an threat of the highest calibre as correctly theorized he has gone through training more advanced then most Galran soldiers.

However despite their seemingly superhuman levels of power, Pidge concluded despite that they are still human and still suffer from human limitations such as food and hydration, as well fatigue in prolonged firefights. Rangers were not trained to engage in prolonged battles and doing so will negatively hinder them, losing their advantage over their hostiles. At the time of the armour's creation, the energy shielding system and deflector shield are weak against most of the galactic community's energy-based weaponry, the shields being depleted incredibly fast in comparison to the physical projectile of a slug. Their equipment like others can be hindered through various of interferences either from natural occurrences or pieces of technology. Electromagnetic pulse which can entirely disable the armour system, losing all forms of physical support it offers and making them force to walk and take direct hit from hostile targets.
