Mission types: Nonviolent support: Resources and support

Detailed material support is not well documented in the existing corpus covering the Antarian Rangers. Therefore, the following elements may not be exhaustive:

- Hero’s Guide mentions “travels” and The Force Unleashed Campaign Guide elaborates on the idea with “transport services”;
- “Supplies” seem to have fallen into the Antarian Rangers’ purview, though no other information enables to characterize said supplies;
- Setting up depots or storehouses on behalf of allied groups (such as Jedi or the Republic Group); these could be equipped with beacons;
- Similarly, “other physical resources” are provided by the organization without additional details. However, the term “resources” is also used in conjunction with the resources available to the Jedi Knights for the accomplishment of their missions. Hero’s Guide stressed the “limitations (…) put on available resources”, while The Force Unleashed Campaign Guide mentions that the Antarian Rangers provided resources “when the Jedi need resources beyond those provided by the Order”. While it is difficult to ascertain the type of resources, it seems safe to assume that they are issued as a complement to those issued by the Jedi Order.
