Duties
An apprentice ranger is a new ranger who is still being trained and supports a true ranger.

OOC
This is where ranger players begin. You are assigned a mentor of at least Veteran status who can take you through your first mission. After that, provided you did well, you will be promoted to a full ranger.

Duties
Rangers take on assignments from the Council (typically passed down from the Accord) and act as independent covert agents or members of a temporary hit-squad to take our a particular target. The motto of the ranger is, “Every ranger walks his own path” and, true to that, each ranger works differently. Some use brute force, others rely on contacts to help get the job done, and some are more suited to guile or charm. Whatever their task- they need to be able to handle it on their own if necessary. Even when working together rangers are best described as a “group of individuals who make sure not to get in each others way” rather than a true cohesive unit. Rangers of this rank are often assigned to certain capital ships or fleets and asked to act as advisors on dangerous aliens.

Duties
A master ranger is a skilled killing machine who has had the good fortune of not getting killed before this point. A master ranger is elevated when he has reached sufficiently good standing in the eyes of at least 3 higher ranking rangers and has been on the job for a number of years. The day to day life of a master ranger differs very little than that of a ranger. They get better pay, better equipment, and tougher assignments but by this point the change is only a minor one. They do enjoy a much higher status, on par with that of an Effoket (who commands capital ships) and may train new rangers (up to two at a time).

Duties
A ranger grand master is a seasoned master who has trained many pupils. Master rangers are less involved in the actual fighting (though just try and stop a ranger from partaking in missions) and are more focused on training new rangers and planning missions. Grand masters are fabulously wealthy and their services are typically employed by flagships or they find duties as political advisors in the Accord.

OOC
Grand masters are moderators.

Duties
The main job a ranger of the council is to manage the rangers as an organization. They are often very political in their duties and sit on high-ranking councils within the Accord as well as manage the Rangers. They assign tasks and give approvals for promotions as well as allocate funds and equipment on a case-by-case basis.

OOC
This is typically a NPC position for staff characters.
