Values, credo, culture: Antarian Rangers, race and gender

From the beginning, Antarian Rangers are predisposed to welcome non-Humans; after all, Kaskutal was a Gotal. “Over time, the organization [evolved] to become Human-dominant but other species did join and sometimes rose into positions of leadership”. Examples of other species joining the organization are Sullustan or Feeorin, making the Antarian Rangers “as diverse as the Jedi they serve”. In addition the organization maintained a favourable bias toward Gotals - which may have helped its infiltration by members of the Roshu Sune.

Regarding gender relations, little is known of the Antarian Rangers practises; nevertheless, out of the known Rangers, two (out of five) are female (Tyria Sarkin and Folee) and there are no indication whatsoever of a potential discrimination. The notion that Antarian Rangers and Jedi inter-married leaves open the question of gender relations, since both organizations are known to be gender inclusive. Allston’s reference to “family traditions” may be a further indication of gender inclusiveness, in contrast to the depiction of the Freedom Warriors that hint to a patrilinear organization “you joined the Freedom Warriors, like your father before you, and his father before him” – though limited sources on the Freedom Warriors ought to treat the information with caution.
