The Ranger corps is a Special Forces branch that conducts its operations in usually dangerous battlegrounds: the unforgiving vacuum of space, though [[Special Operations Elite]] are more skilled for the even more dangerous suicide missions. Whether they joined for personal glory or ancestral duty, each individual Ranger knows that a gruesome end awaits them from even the most inconsequential of injuries (the breach of a vacuum suit leads to immediate explosive decompression).

Normally deployed for zero-G enviornments, it is they who are ordered by their superiors to scout/hunt and destroy a certain target. Experts in zero-G combat, they are capable of posing a certain threat to ships.

Although they have similarly coloured armor as that of the [[Minor Domo Elite]], the lowest of the Elite forces, they are actually higher ranked than minor-domos and possibly higher ranked than even [[Major Domo Elite]] elites.

There were [[Ranger Jackals]] as well, present at the [[Battle of Reach]]. It seems that by the time of [[The First Battle of Earth]], the Ranger Jackals have been replaced in combat by the [[Drone]]s, which are already suited for space and are much more versatile in aiding the Ranger Elites.

Ranger Elites have been observed at The Battle of Reach, [[Operation: FIRST STRIKE]], and [[The First Battle of Earth]]. They were also seen at the planet [[Reach]] when the Master Chief returned to the planet aboard the ''[[Ascendant Justice]]''. Thus it is possible that every ship in the Covenant has a detatchment of Rangers for external security purposes.
