Little is known of cultural aspects of the Antarian Rangers, but one possible glimpse of it may be hinted by Allston regarding “wraiths”. According to the author, wraiths are part of the Antarian Rangers’ folklore where they mean “dark things that come in the night for you (…) the phantoms under the bed, the monsters in the storage cubicles” and may be mentioned to children – presumably for some educative purposes. However, wraiths as ethereal and hostile beings are an extremely rare occurrence in the Star Wars Expanding Universe, with only two specific appearances, the space wraiths and the Kivan wraiths - the latter, however should be discounted because of dating issues. Interestingly, the space wraiths are known for their relation to the Dark Side of the Force, thus being a plausible link to their inclusion in the Antarian Rangers’ folklore.
