Editing Blue Giant:Space Rangers (section)

==History==

Space Rangers, as a concept, have existed for four to five hundred years. They were self appointed lawmen and vigilantes who took it upon themselves to patrol settler areas not yet under the control of any of the old earth nations. Sometimes they formed their own organisations and systems of justice. For example, the Yellow Nova rangers organised the only resistance of the [[Blue_Giant:Federal_Alliance|Federal Alliance]] against American and Shanshock expansion in 2782 and transported stolen battleship plans across a quarter of the galaxy which resulted in the creation of the Federated Territories. And the Cat-tail Nebula Rangers more or less destroyed the Gordon-Hammer corporation and its colonial slavery ring which involved 3.2 billion human slaves.

For the most part, rangers are individuals. The most famous ranger is of course [[Blue_Giant:Jack_Rourke|Jack Rourke]] of [[Blue_Giant:Cygnans#Rourkes_Spiders|Rourke's Spiders]] fame.
