Mission types: Combat: Assisting Jedi / Rescuing Jedi and other Force-sensitive

Antarian Rangers are described as “support troops”, “trained scouts and soldiers”, or “elite troopers” acting “when Jedi need extra support”. It is best to stress that the following Jedi or Force-sensitive-related missions take place during the Purge; overt combat missions from eras where the Antarian Rangers are openly active are not described. Thus the spectrum of “clandestine military operations”, listed by Hershey et al., covers:

- To locate Jedi;
- To free one from captivity;
- To rescue Jedi;
- To save the life of a Jedi;
- To ferry Jedi to safety;
- To preserve Force-sensitive beings.

As far as overt missions are concerned, it is possible to speculate that the Antarian Ranger are able to engage in mass combat operations against “Sith-tainted soldiers” or “Sith monstrosities” in much the same way as the Freedom Warriors as they are known to partake in such operations against non-Force users.
