From outsider to Ranger General: Outsider

Primary sources tend to show little requirements to enter the Antarian Rangers organization. May apply, those who do “not fear the power of the Jedi”, who “dream of connecting with the Force”, who “admire the Jedi Order and wish to uphold its ideals”, who “possess at least rudimentary knowledge of the Force and the Jedi”. Not being Force-sensitive is not an issue to seek joining the organization.

Applicants to the Antarian Rangers organization come from several backgrounds:

Those that have “successfully made contact with a member of the Antarian Ranger organization”;
Those that are born into the Antarian Rangers traditions (some families have been Rangers for five centuries);
Those that are co-opted into it (most applicants are “prompted from an existing member”);
Those that have been turned down for Jedi training (which may be co-opted).

Applicants have then to prove “loyalty”, “capability” and “dedication” before they “[pledge] support”. The pledge itself is not known but may include the following elements:

“Antarian Rangers must be prepared at all times to answer the call of their leaders and are expected to step in whenever a Jedi needs assistance” and “uphold the ideals” of the Jedi Order.

From thereon “all members are evaluated for their pertinent skills and potential contributions to the organization”. Successful applicants enter the organization at the rank of Explorer and begin a lengthy process to one day become a full-fledge Ranger. “Though the organization has fewer ranks than a full-scale military”, only a select few reach the top.
