IISS Rangers

The Rangers were a covert intelligence unit of the Scout Service established as a separate branch-level service by the Emperor Paulo I in the year 741. Originally tasked with observing and recording activity within the Imperium that might pose a threat to Imperial security, as time went on the Rangers evolved into more of an intervention force answerable solely to the Emperor. The Rangers continued to function after the death of Paulo I in 767 as an independent reaction force, dealing with both real and imagined threats at their own discretion. Due to excesses on the part of some Ranger operatives, including the possible involvement of some in the death of the Emperor Tomutov I in 768, the Empress Paula II revoked the Ranger's charter in 772, resulting in their subsequent disbanding.

Rumors that the Rangers still exist are categorically denied by Scout Service administrators.

Any relationship between the Rhylanor Taoiseach and the IISS Rangers is both uncertain and speculative.
