Allies: Jedi and Force traditions: Jedi: Jedi Order

As a whole, the Jedi Order tends to have a relatively good appreciation of the Antarian Rangers. The latter “proved their usefulness without drawing upon Jedi resources” and thus, the Order “certainly used them”. The Jedi Order has more or less use of allied paramilitary organizations, whenever it is “more loosely organized” or “outnumbered and unable to sufficiently defend the galaxy”, and when it is the case, it certainly “[does] not discourage the growth of the organization” or “[calls] upon the Rangers for aid” and tends to forget that it does “not condone or support” them.

In this context, it is not surprising that over time and from crisis to crisis, “Antarian Rangers gain the trust and assistance of the Jedi Order” as well as “a certain amount of respect from members of the Jedi Order”, benefitting from a “Jedi reputation”, they are able to obtain “contacts” within the Order, and thus petition, as well as obtain “information or expert skills” from their contacts. If “contacts won't accompany the Antarian Ranger on missions or risk his or her life” and have limited time available, then, how do rangers gain trust and respect? Who are the Jedi that call upon them?
