Organized StatesKnight-Paladin John Juliani has served with the Rangers for many years and now commands an elite squad of his own. Here the esteemed officer shares a little bit of his own experiences abroad.The Optimus Equites, better known as the Birtonian Imperial Rangers have existed as long as the name Birtonian has. Since the destruction of the unrepresentative monarchy, the Rangers have been around the world exerting Birtonian justice. Surgical strikes, shock and awe campaigns, policing actions, you name it, the Rangers have done it. Additionally they are directly responsible for the close protection of the Imperator and less importantly the Miles Regium.
Interestingly, one small squad is actually sent out to work with a multinational foreign special operations group known as ATLAS.
"What we officially do is support ATLAS operations worldwide" said Juliani as he set down his rifle across from me in the bar within Fort Bragg.
"Otherwise we are here to supplant the Imperators will where ever he deems fit."-J
"How do you feel about Imperial military working in concert with foreign nationals?" -E
"These other outfits, most of them are pretty great but there's a few, whom I won't mention that could use some work. I believe that the Rangers do serve as an example of what a true elite fighting force looks, moves and shoots like." -J
"What about the rest of the Imperium Militare?" -E
"I don't quite think the rest of the country is ready for the.... experiences that we have acquired." -J
After the quick exchange I was informed by the teams Commissar that they were preparing for a a mission and I was told to cut and leave. But as short as it was citizens, it is good to hear that our Rangers are out there showing the rest of the world what Imperial soldiers are really like and how powerful our Empire really is.
