Rangers

The rangers (aka "Hunters") are an invite-only covert Jericho Accord agency of monsters hunters armed with the best weapons and information about threats to Accord. They come from all walks of life, have a great degree of independence in what they do, and are considered humanity’s best hope. A hunter is not trained or recruited for position- he is invited by an existing hunter to join the organization. Not all are educated, some are psychotic, but all have a hearty souls and a passion for killing what needs to be killed.

Organization
Rangers have small council of veteran, retired, respected, rangers who perform an administrative role and report directly to the Accord. New rangers are apprenticed to the older ranger who invites them for a period of several years until they are ready for solo work. A ranger may never have more than 2 apprentices at a time. Rangers are assigned tasks by the Council and those who prove their value are elevated in rank by the council (generally on the advisement of other higher ranking rangers). Higher ranking rangers command more authority, are given more difficult tasks, and greater freedoms.

Relationship with the Spaceforce
Rangers are not a part of the spaceforce and they act as a separate entity. They have a good working relationship however, sharing information when possible. Rangers use spaceforce ships for transport and are often employed in joint missions as special forces soldiers.

Life as a Ranger
The life of a ranger is a solitary one filled with constant combat and training. Rangers are always on the move chasing their next target. They are well compensated but are expected to provide everything themselves and be self sufficient.

Skills of a Ranger
Rangers are skilled at a variety of arts. Their line of work brings them into hand-to-hand combat and any ranger worth his salt (even the rare Eufrem ranger) can devastate a man or alien with his prowess. While they rely on firearms, Rangers are more at home with melee weapons and are particularly fond of military knives. Rangers are required to be dirty, nasty, underhanded, cheating, and unconventional even by military standards. They have to be able to steal, hack, intimidate, stalk, lie, interrogate, and seduce in their line of work and many rangers are more adept at this than criminals.
