As part of the Covenant's Fleet Security, the Rangers | As part of the [[Covenant]]'s [[Fleet Security]], the Rangers were tasked with the security of a [[Covenant fleet|fleet]]. This placed the Rangers in a defensive role, such as removing foreign forces from entering and/or commandeering the ship.<ref name="lnos">'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[Long Night of Solace (level)]]''</ref> The Rangers can also perform offensive roles such as space insertion and demolition tasks.<ref name="tfor">'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page ??''</ref><ref name="cairo">'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Cairo Station (level)|Cairo Station]]''</ref> | ||
Sangheili Rangers were combat experts in environments with little or no gravity. However, they are commonly deployed planetside during engagements. A Ranger's ease of mobility posed the greatest threat to his opponents on a world's surface.<ref name="enc133">'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', ''page 133'' (2011 edition)</ref> | |||

The Rangers have been observed in various combat theatres such as the [[Fall of Reach]], [[Operation: FIRST STRIKE]], the [[Battle of Earth]], the [[Battle of Installation 05]], and the [[Battle of High Charity]]. The Rangers were also seen at the planet [[Reach]] when John-117 returned to the planet aboard the ''[[Ascendant Justice]]''. | The Rangers have been observed in various combat theatres such as the [[Fall of Reach]], [[Operation: FIRST STRIKE]], the [[Battle of Earth]], the [[Battle of Installation 05]], and the [[Battle of High Charity]].

==Equipment== | |||
The Rangers wear hermetically sealed combat armor that would allow them to work in the vacuum of space or other similarly hazardous environment.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page ??''</ref> In addition to this, the Rangers would be equipped with either an [[antigravity pack]] or a [[Covenant thruster pack|thruster pack]], providing them greater mobility. The armor of a Sangheili Ranger allowed them to operate in gravity and [[oxygen]]-free environments, but the thrusters on their armor was specifically designed for mobility in gravity-intensive environments.<ref name="enc133"/> | |||
Like most Sangheili units, the Rangers utilize [[Type-25 plasma rifle|plasma rifle]]s and [[Type-51 plasma repeater|plasma repeater]]s as their standard armament.<ref name="cairo"/><ref name="lnos"/> On some occasions, the Rangers would use the [[Type-52 focus rifle|focus rifle]] and the [[Type-31 needle rifle|needle rifle]].<ref name="cairo"/><ref name="nightfall">'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[Nightfall]]''</ref> | |||

*In ''Halo 2'', while firing, a Ranger wielding one weapon will have both hands affected by recoil, as if holding two weapons. This is probably because they often wield two plasma rifles,and the game does not support an animation with only one weapon. | *In ''Halo 2'', while firing, a Ranger wielding one weapon will have both hands affected by recoil, as if holding two weapons.
