One of the most interesting posts I have read is the one labelled

"Am I A Bad Imp?"

The overwhelming response and thoughts of Ranger First, Faction Second kept coming up...and then someone asked if there was a ranger code.

And so I ask..should there be a ranger code?
I like the idea, but the main problem that I see is that as solitary (mostly in image) hunters, we are independant and tend to aschue authority. Therefore creating a ranger code may interfere with our innate independence.

Yet the question remains
If you think there should be a ranger code, what should it be?
If not....why not?

I envision a Ranger Code as Follows

I am a servent of my own free will.
I shall charish Nature and her/his wonders.
I shall protect my Brothers and Sisters (aka other Rangers)
I shall enjoy my Travels and experiances, I can choose to Play hide and seek with those that wish to harm me.
I am often alone, What I lack in social grace I make up for with survial techniques.

I am my own world, Weither the world be of pain and agony or a world of peace and beauty.

I am a Ranger.

I would guess that there should be (or is) a Code for the Antarian Rangers, but not for all.

IC-wise, I am an Imperial First and my function is Ranger and Scout. I also don't subscribe to this "Man (or bothan) of the woods" ideal that many like. To think that just because I am a Ranger, I am some type of goody-two-shoes save the planet type of character is very presumptious I am a hunter and tracker of all those that stand in the way of the Emperor. That includes purging verious wilderness areas so that the Empire can safely expand

Im a imp first when i see a rabel even thou im a ranger for the tracken skill only i would chase that rebel down like the little farmer he isandinc him 3 times i love drawing db's out. The way i see it if you help rebels whats the point of being a imp just be a rebel farmer.

I think a code would be nice but I don't read much so it better be short!

For starters.

When ever a ranger puts up a camp he/she should have cold beers for every Ranger visitor. /burb

Buy Java Beer by the crate. It takes up less storage.

I dont agree with you compleatly.

the reason is the following. As rangers we spend a lot of times alone. S if we are in trouble in a remote and desolate planet, the only other person that might be around to help is a fellow ranger. So Perhaps there should be some sort of etiquete for this.

If you are actually doing a mission for the empire and it requiers the anihilation of a ranger or a group of reb's; then that is another story whatsoever. If rangers dont want to kill rangers then they should remain neutral. Personally if I se aranger in trouble by himself I will probably help him. But once I do we are enemies again. Two things can happen we part w/out harming each other and knowing we are enemies or we duel right there and then. May the best ranger win.

For role playing purposes different factions = enemies. But being a member of either faction does not necesarily make you evil. So we should be able to help a fellow ranger in trouble if we are not in a mission to kill rebels.

Thats what I think anyways. My previous thoughts were Rangers first faction second, but the truth is that it should be the other way around. Like I said this does not mean I will not help a ranger in need.

There's an unofficial Ranger code, that's rather simple.

1) Rangers first.

Some follow, some don't. Be a good Ranger and follow

(the cold beers are a good idea)

"You can always tell who the other Rangers/Scouts are because they come sit in your camp."

RissKei, LOL your so right never thought about it till you said that........

Yurosh Essani, Ranger-Creatue Handler - Fencer on Eclipse

Used to train any Ranger/Scout who asked, until I got screwed over by a few unnamed people. I trained them, they refused to train me onceI was guilded.

Now I read bios, and if you are guilded, and I am not seeing purple, and I don't know your guild, you get rejected.

Don't get me wrong, still a few of the "other side" I still hunt/train/hang out with. In fact, there is one entire guild - mixed - that I tell to pound sand. But by and large, if you are not a friend... sry bout that.

They wants ta play the big bad Imps, they can go find a big bad Imp to train em, or go pay the man.

yes, the sins of a few effect the majority, such is life

I am Imp but I am not a fanatic for the Empire. I joined that side since most of my friends are Imps too. So I am like many soldiers in the past I fight for my buddies not for the country. That is why if I see a Rebel Ranger or anyone in trouble I will help out. The critters are the true enemy they don't care what you are.

The only exception though would be BH's rebels those can die plenty.

Ranger first, faction second.

This was discussed quite a bit during the creation of the antarian rangers.

It boiled down to "Rangers over Faction"

But the issue of battlefields and raids was brought up and it got real interesting. I suggest everyone check out the thread, its a great read!

Ranger or not, if he's an Imperial he's an enemy and will be dealt with as such.
