Description: The Orax Rangers is the overarching title that spans over dozens of job titles and descriptions. However, at its core, the Orax Ranger Service is dedicated to the protection of Orax's environment. Developed 100 Years after the Calimity War on Orax, the Orax Rangers were formed originally mostly from members of the Shard Species. With the help of local human tribes the Orax Rangers attempted to protect the Fragments and Shards from the non-consensual harvest of the sentient species that would often end in the crystal species' death. After the Gulag Plague had more or less settled down and tensions between Shard and Human normalized somewhat Humans began joining the cause.
Their general duties include the education of both Humans and Shards on the importance of environmentally sustainable food, energy and waste practices in order to preserve the natural beauty of their planet. They also manage the relocation of Shard and Fragments during city or town expansion and serve as intermediaries between more primitive human tribes, Shard Colonies, and the more advanced towns and cities that have begun to spring up across Orax Hotsprings. They also issue hunting and Fragment Harvesting licences and visas to citizens and travelers.
The Orax Rangers also function as a paramilitary force. Many of these rangers have prior experience in law enforcement, the military, or are hired on as transient mercenaries for a time. These rangers roam the wilds, caves, and even deep beneath the boiling oceans in order to stop poachers, Reavers (hostile tribes, also synonymous with Bandits) and other illegal activity. They work directly with the Orax Military Police in order to bring these criminals to justice. As such their skills vary from medical and tracking all the way to fire prevention and containment. They are the backbone of the Orax Rangers.
