Rangers specialize in small-scale operations, generally deployed when Starfleet are unable to, or where it is impractical or unwise to send starships and crews. Platoons will act as special forces where necessary, working closely and coordinating with [[Starfleet Marine Corps]] and [[Starfleet Intelligence]] to protect the more densely populated borders of Federation space, proactively seeking out threats against Federation citizens. | Rangers specialize in small-scale operations, generally deployed when Starfleet are unable to, or where it is impractical or unwise to send starships and crews.

However, the duties of a Ranger acting alone are vastly different, as they act primarily in a support role for civilians in these areas. | However, the duties of a Ranger acting alone are vastly different, as they act primarily in a support role for civilians in these areas. Their duties can be broken down into four categories. | ||
===Exploration=== | |||
Exploration duties include scouting and exploring newly discovered planets (in preparation for a full-scale planetary survey), investigating unusual planetary phenomena, and assisting Federation scientists in establishing research stations, particularly "duck blinds" for anthropological study of other species. | |||
===Colonization=== | |||
Colonization duties include assisting in the transportation of colonists and the establishment of new colonies, including site planning and development, establishing vital colony systems, mapping and survey expeditions, and similar operations. | |||
===Relief Missions=== | |||
Relief efforts involve Rangers rendering aid and assistance to Federation and allied worlds that are threatened or struck by natural disasters. Rangers may plan and coordinate evacuations, deliver vital supplies and equipment, offer medical assistance, and help in rescue and rebuilding efforts following a disaster. | |||
===Security Missions=== | |||
Finally, the Rangers act to protect the security of the Federation, particularly its borders and colonies. Here they act closely with [[Federation Security]] or other civilian services, providing a Starfleet point of reference to a large-scale civilian operation. | |||
