History and specifics[]

The Fenris Rangers were established before the2380s as apolice force composed of various planetary governments, most notably that ofFenris. By2381, despite the collapse of these governments, the Rangers continued to operate without formal legal recognition. In2381, the Fenris Rangers disclosed a scandal involving a rogue spymaster from theFederation Security Agency who had covertly supported a local warlord, GeneralKohgish, through severalnon-governmental organizations. This revelation led to a joint operation betweenStarfleet and the Fenris Rangers, resulting in the arrest of both the spymaster and General Kohgish.

Following this incident, there were instances of cooperation between Starfleet and the Fenris Rangers, although these were not consistent. Over the period from2381 to2399, the Fenris Rangers increasingly engaged inmorally questionable activities, attributed to a lack ofseparation of powers and insufficientfunding. These factors compromised their ability to operate within a clear ethical framework, gradually tarnishing their reputation. (PICnovel:Firewall)
