Galactic Rangers

The Galactic Rangers were robots employed by the Galactic Government that worked alongside Ratchet and Clank in the events of Up Your Arsenal and helped them fend off the Tyhrranoid attacks on various planets when they arose. Galactic Rangers monitored the Starship Phoenix as well as many of the planets around the galaxy. They were often cowardly, preferring to let the Lombax take care of the enemies by himself, then blamed him for not "pulling his own weight," although they offered help when Ratchet was in danger - even putting aside their own cowardice in the final battle against Dr. Nefarious. In truth they were very well-meaning, and reluctant or not, were always the first to face enemy threats. They showed much appreciation for Ratchet, and were determined to make it up to him any way they could. They also provided Ratchet with weapons and gadgets when an attack was averted. In some missions they were heard joking about previous missions over the radio. In the beginning events of Up Your Arsenal, the Galactic Rangers mistook Ratchet for their new sergeant and referred him as "Sarge". Their standard weapon was an arm-mounted blaster cannon that fired blue energy bolts; it seemed to be a multi-purpose device, as in one mission it was seen being used to repair a Turret.Although repairs seemed to be slow and the mechanics needed a lot of protection for the repairs to be made. Their guns did hardly any damage against bigger foes,but they easily cleared out a room full of the small biting Tyhrranoids. It seemed that not only did the guns either have unlimited or a lot of ammo in them, the Galactic Rangers couldn't fire them while running. Ratchet could enter the war zone with the Galactic Rangers via their large dropship, which is also seen docked on the roof in the Starship Phoenix. In the final fight with Nefarious, the Rangers appeared at the bridge before the last bit. They seemed to have been stronger than before as they kill enemies with only a few shots.

Note: Ratchet occasionally had to complete missions with the Galactic Rangers in order to progress through the game. However, some missions were optional and may be completed for extra bolts.
