It's commonly believed that the clarity of purpose and a clear moral compass, helped them beat seemingly impossible odds and prevail. Even their headquarters were secret, hidden in plain sight in Shady Sands' auto shop. Operational security implemented by the Rangers made their cells and safehouses impossible to detect for the untrained slaver muscle. Their operations were a major thorn in the side of the Slavers Guild, especially around New Reno and Klamath. Where slavers were present, they would raid them, help potential slaves flee their would-be captors, and smuggle liberated slaves south to the republic. As such, the Rangers operated in secret, especially outside NCR territories. Their limited numbers made their mission difficult, as they were routinely outnumbered by their foes. By 2241, their activism and many friends in high places ensured the passage of legislation in the lands of the republic south of Shady Sands, causing them to turn their attention to the territories outside the capital. For decades they fought the practice, both in courts and on the field of battle, slowly building up their political and military power. The Rangers were founded by Seth in the early years of the New California Republic, eventually becoming an independent law enforcement agency focusing on abolishing slavery inside and outside its borders. 6 Interactions with the player character.
