"Have Phaser, Will Travel"
The STARFLEET Strategic Operations Rangers, also known as Rangers, have traditionally been an elite light infantry force, whose specialties include reconnaissance, direct action, and raids upon, and seizures of, enemy-controlled bases and facilities.
The 33rd STARFLEET Rangers were formed on Stardate 10910.17. The first Team Leader was LTC Schugart, the Assistant Team Leader was BDR West, and other members included FCAPT Liz Goulet, 2LT Tank Clark, and 2LT Mike Tolleson. On Stardate 11304.16, BGN West and LTC Schugart stepped down as CO & XO of the USS Regulator, and left the ship. The newly elected Captain of the Regulator, Colonel Tank Clark, appointed Major Tolleson to be Team Leader of the 33rd Rangers. In early spring of 2012 (circa Stardate 11204), LTC Tolleson transferered to the USS Navras, and COL Clark assumed the role of Team Leader. At the ship's elections of Stardates 11304 and 11504, Brigadier (Fleet Captain) Clark was re-elected to the leadership of the largest Ranger team in STARFLEET.
Our nickname is "The Paladins," both to honor the hero of the TV Western "Have Gun -- Will Travel" and to pay respects to the Captain of the USS Regulator when the team was formed, BDR Mark West, whose Mecha branch callsign was "Paladin."
Our Slogan is "Have Phaser, Will Travel" -- again referring to the above-mentioned TV Western.
The motto of the 33rd STARFLEET Rangers is “Sum Non Satis?”, or “Am I Not Enough?” This is based on the story behind the famous (but apocryphal) Texas Ranger slogan, “One Riot, One Ranger.”
From Wikipedia:
A famous phrase associated with the Rangers is “One Riot, One Ranger”. It is somewhat apocryphal in that there was never actually a riot; rather, the phrase was coined by Ranger Captain William "Bill" McDonald, who was sent to Dallas in 1896 to prevent the illegal heavyweight prize fight between Pete Maher and Bob Fitzsimmons that had been organized by Dan Stuart and patronized by the eccentric "Hanging Judge" Roy Bean of Langtry, Texas. According to the story, McDonald's train was met by the mayor, who asked the single Ranger where the other lawmen were. McDonald is said to have replied: "Hell! Ain't I enough? There's only one prize-fight!"
The 33rd STARFLEET Rangers have our own handbook. It's a supplement to the upcoming SFSO Ranger Guidebook, and it's available here:
