The mission of the Special Operations Rangers (SOR) is that of deep penetration
into enemy territory for the purpose of intelligence gathering.
Their mission should not be confused with those of other Special
Operations units, i.e., insurgent development, long term
intelligence gathering, Civil Affairs, or PsyOps.
It is the mission of the SOR to enable the Federation the ability to
strike deep into the heart of the enemy and to return home safe.
The Starfleet Special Operations Ranger program is a true
"purple suit" organization. The term "purple
suit" comes from the combined colors of both Starfleet and
Starfleet Marines. In other words, the Starfleet Special Operations
Rangers is a combined forces organization. The ranks of SOR is
filled by members of both branches.
If you want to join the SOR for the praise and glory associated with
Rangers and their missions, then you are in for a rude awaking. Much
of the work done by Ranger units is never known. It is by the very
nature of their work that the Federation may never know what they
have done.
Such is the world of Special Operations. One does not get into such
units for the attention, but for the satisfaction of doing a very
dangerous job well. It is the knowledge of doing a job that few can,
or even would attempt, to do.
