The Ranger corps is a Special Forces branch that conducts its operations in usually dangerous battlegrounds: the unforgiving vacuum of space, though Spec-ops elites 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).

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

In zero gravity conditions, they will perch on top of walls or on the side of objects and attack suddenly when an enemy's back is turned.(Sometimes with dual-plasma rifles.)

These Elites are unique in that they hover and strafe in the air during combat. They always wield [[Plasma Rifle]]s, some of them dual wield, others do not. They also occasionally operate [[Plasma Cannon]]s.

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.

Though they are best suited for zero-g environments, Ranger Elites are able to operate just as well within an atmosphere. This is evidenced by their deployment and functionality in environments like [[High Charity]] or [[Delta Halo]].
