Overview
Organization
What makes a Sector Ranger?
What can a Ranger do?
Society rises and falls with the times, and unfortunately times have become hard for the Rangers. As an intergalactic organization, they rely solely on the year to year funding from the Senate and its member systems. Sometimes this means the Rangers are swimming in credits (usually following some major terrorist attack) but more often than not it means they are under manned, under funded, and under appreciated by the politicians that employ them. Despite budgetary concerns, all Rangers undergo extremely thorough training in investigative techniques, legal guidelines, technical collection methods, combat and piloting, and other myriad professional skills. Beyond this training, many Rangers bringing with them a wealth of previous experience as Law Enforcement Officers, Bounty Hunters, and Mercenaries looking to do some good with their lives. While cheap holo-flicks show Rangers commandeering entire local fleets in search of their enemies, the reality is that bureaucratic red tape limits their acquisition powers or slows the process down so much as to be nearly useless, and a Ranger is often assigned only a lowly liaison or escort to guide him about. So while Rangers can always request the assistance, military or police, of whatever system they're working in, more often than not a Ranger is on his own. Sector offices and smaller system offices can provide limited support in the form of vehicles, weapons, equipment, and intelligence reports.
OOC Notes
Now that you know what the Sector rangers are and what it means to be a Sector Ranger, In character. I feel that it is necessary to explain what it means to be a Sector Ranger Out of Character. Now I could tell you this? But I could never tell you as good as @Loco so without further ado the message that started it all:"Many of you may have noticed that crime and criminals are a recurring them around here. We've got smugglers and Hutts and blackmarket dealers, assassins, unruly fringe characters starting shootouts in cantinas across the galaxy, etc... There has always been at least one faction at any given time, be it indie or main, that is entirely devoted to making money through the liberal application of racketeering and extortion. We currently have the Hutts, before that it was the Retrade, and before that it was Black Sun. Next timeline were likely looking at relaunches of many of these institutions. What we have never consistently had is a method to combat them.
Some of you may remember the Waste Rangers. The Rangers were a dedicated group of psuedo-law enforcement and do-gooders that attracted quiet a member base and popularity, until I think they finally went down in a blaze of glory against the Hutts earlier this year. IMHO though, the WR never quiet went far enough.
An idea I've been kicking around for awhile is a dedicated faction of investigators, analysts, and prosecutors with intergalactic jurisdiction (like a super INTERPOL) who's sole purpose is fighting these prolific criminal elements wherever they rear their ugly heads. The difference in how this was done before though is that rather than just passively do missions and make our presence known, these agents would ACTIVELY and AGGRESSIVELY target enemy characters and their criminal enterprises in effort to arrest and try them for their crimes through all manner of legal means. I've got a lot of ideas about how a group like this could be implemented, but I wanted to put it out there and see if there's any real interest for the concept before I get too invested in it, and I believe collaboration is the best way to get things off the ground.
So, I'm opening up the floor. Is this something you might be interested in? What kind of implementable ideas do you have? Any insight from you slimy Hutts out there, or would you be interested in having some real rivals for a change?
Just think of all the TV and movie cop tropes. There's so much joke potential here."

Standard Ranger Equipment
Standard Issue Ship
Standard Ranger Body Armor
Affiliation: BlasTech Industries
Intent: A commonly seen and used blaster pistol that sets the theme for weaponry in the new timeline. This is a widely available pistol and can be used by PC or NPCs alike.
Model: EB-4 Combat Pistol
Type: Blaster Pistol
Size: Standard blaster pistol
Composition: durasteel barrel and mechanisms, plastoid-based polymer casing
Range: 40m, 10m stun
Ammunition Capacity: 14 rounds
Description: The EB-4 is a semi-automatic pistol widely renowned for it's reliability, ease of service, and affordable cost. Anybody with a basic toolkit can clean and service the weapon in the field. The EB-4 comes with a stun setting which fires from underneath the main barrel and uses the same amount of ammunition and rate of fire the regular lethal setting uses. The stun setting is severely limited in range, but offers security and bounty hunters a much-needed less-than-lethal option. A rail allows for the installation of a flashlight or an alternative sight.
The low cost and ease of service comes at a small price. It does not have quite the range as other pistols, nor does it reach the highest capacity capable. Still, that doesn't deter planetary and private security forces that use the EB-4.
