The Galactic Rangers are a robot force serving the Solana Galactic Government, appearing as allies in Up Your Arsenal and Ratchet & Clank comic series. They are a force of identical warbots that answer to President Phyronix, and are based on the Starship Phoenix, commandeered by Sasha Phyronix. During the war against Dr. Nefarious, Ratchet was one of their leaders.

The Rangers were sent to defend the Solana Galaxy against Dr. Nefarious, during his war against organic lifeforms. Ratchet led the Rangers in many operations against Nefarious' forces of tyhrranoids around the galaxy. Later, the Rangers assisted Ratchet in the battle against Artemis Zogg.

History

Up Your Arsenal

Section incomplete
This section is empty or needs to be expanded. You can help the Ratchet & Clank Wiki by writing it.

On Veldin the Galactic Rangers mistook Ratchet for their new sergeant and referred him as "Sarge," thrusting him into protecting the planet Veldin. The Rangers eventually assisted Ratchet on several planets, including Marcadia and Rilgar, armed with arm-mounted blasters and Nitro Launchers.[6] Ratchet occasionally had to complete missions with the Galactic Rangers in order to progress through the game. However, many missions were optional and may be completed for extra bolts, various gadgets and even a trophy.

In the final fight with Nefarious, the Rangers that appeared on Mylon were significantly stronger than before, and were able to take down enemy Soldier Bots and Mega Bots with ease.

Notable Rangers

Galactic Ranger #1: Anybody have any idea of how we're supposed to shut down this forcefield?
Galactic Ranger #2: Uh, H26. Why don't you try sticking your finger in the main power transformer?
H26: You sure that's a good idea, sir? This thing looks pretty dangerous.
Galactic Ranger #2: Suck it up, 26, you got nothing to worry about! I got special training in electronic… thing-a-ma-jigys!
H26: Okay, here goes. AHHHHH!
Galactic Ranger #2: H26, comeback.
Galactic Ranger #3: Uh, H26 has been vaporized, sir. But the forcefield has been deactivated.
Galactic Ranger #2: All right, that trooper deserves a medal. Complete your mission and report back to base for briefing.

H26's final and only conversation, UYA

Several rangers were named during the events of Up Your Arsenal, including H22, who another ranger claimed that they were having a birthday party for when in reality they needed Ratchet's assistance on Aridia. H26 was a ranger who died during Operation Thunderbolt when he was told by another ranger to stick his finger into the main power transformer for a Tyhrranoid base, resulting in him sacrificing himself to disable the shield. J31 was a ranger who made fun of one of his officers for his exploits in the Battle of the Amochi Flats.
