Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Chanukkah, Happy Kwanza, and just plain be Happy. Anyway, in that last post of WIP's, I didn't include a very important new batch of actual completed customs. I introduce to you the Republic Rangers. These are customs I started a few months ago. They are from the same time period as my War Wolves circa 3472 before the battle of Yavin (page 29 on my thread here). Here's the first of them.
The era is some few thousand years before the Battle of Yavin. It is about the time of the Cold War. Tensions with the Sith Empire are high and faith in the Republic is at an all time low. The Republic depends on such military units as the Republic Rangers. They are not the armor wearing big guns that is more abundant in the military but an elite force of specialists that use special weapons and tactics.
Commander Niev'Kasel leads this group of soldiers. He is known to be hard but his compassion for his troops and the cause they fight for is apparent. The Republic Rangers was his idea. "There are times when going in with subtlety and stealth is preferred than guns blazing as a walking tank. Don't get me wrong, I started out as an armored soldier but there were those times I could have snuck up behind the enemy and won the day in a short time". The Rangers train in hand to hand, pilot ground and airborne/spacial vehicles, and all types of hand and heavy artillery weapons. Other training includes languages, history, and protocol. They are the best that no one knows about and that's the way he likes it.
