With the modern and sophisticated [[USS Endeavour|USS ''Endeavour'']] in the squadron, the ''Ranger'' is rarely sent to the highest-priority exploration missions. However, ''Endeavour'' is also charged with diplomatic outreach to forge further into the Midgard Sector and is the squadron’s designated first responder to emerging situations. The ''Ranger'', as such, is posted to survey missions closer to Gateway, rounding out Starfleet’s knowledge of the immediate reaches of the sector. She is also dispatched to follow up ''Endeavour’s'' explorations, either investing time where the larger ship cannot or where a higher priority situation has drawn her away. As such, the ''Ranger’s'' operations vary from routine study of local space to long-term surveys of locations of intrigue to secondary exploratory operations.
With the modern and sophisticated [[USS Liberty|USS ''Liberty'']] in the squadron, the ''Ranger'' is rarely sent to the highest-priority exploration missions. She is posted to survey missions closer to Gateway, rounding out Starfleet’s knowledge of the immediate reaches of the sector, or to follow up ''Liberty's'' explorations, either investing time where the larger ship cannot or where a higher priority situation has drawn her away. As such, the ''Ranger’s'' operations vary from routine study of local space to long-term surveys of locations of intrigue to secondary exploratory operations.
 
Many of the ''Ranger’s'' crew were drawn from the [[USS Swiftsure|USS ''Swiftsure'']], which suffered critical personnel loss during Frontier Day. Junior officers and former XO Commander Xhakaza assumed command of the ''Swiftsure'' for a time, only to be reassigned to the ''Ranger'', as an older, more reliable ship expected to deal with less-dynamic challenges. This young crew thus stands committed to upholding the Federation’s principles on this difficult frontier while seeking to prove their worth and forge their own path.

The USS Ranger (NCC-74658) is an Intrepid-class light explorer assigned to the Fourth Fleet. As part of Sirius Squadron, she is primarily based out of Gateway Station in the Midgard Sector, and is the designated survey vessel of the formation. The Federation’s knowledge of space formerly part of the Neutral Zone or Romulan Star Empire is limited, and operations out of Gateway are charged with exploring, charting, and studying regions, including some very close to the border that Starfleet has only recently been legally able to access.

With the modern and sophisticated USS Liberty in the squadron, the Ranger is rarely sent to the highest-priority exploration missions. She is posted to survey missions closer to Gateway, rounding out Starfleet’s knowledge of the immediate reaches of the sector, or to follow up Liberty's explorations, either investing time where the larger ship cannot or where a higher priority situation has drawn her away. As such, the Ranger’s operations vary from routine study of local space to long-term surveys of locations of intrigue to secondary exploratory operations.
