Rangers calling card chip.
The Fenris Rangers are a self-proclaimed law-enforcement organization operating within the Qiris sector in the galaxy's Beta Quadrant. Not officially recognized by the United Federation of Planets or any other significant government or state of local space as having legitimate authority, they are often depicted as vigilantes by Federation news media. Despite their lack of formal recognition, the Rangers are actively involved in combating serious crimes, including sentient trafficking, smuggling and piracy. Their efforts focus on maintaining order and providing security in regions where official law enforcement is absent or insufficient. They were active in the 2380s[1], 2390s[2] and 2410s[3] decades.

History and specifics[]
The Fenris Rangers were established before the 2380s as a police force composed of various planetary governments, most notably that of Fenris. By 2381, despite the collapse of these governments, the Rangers continued to operate without formal legal recognition. In 2381, the Fenris Rangers disclosed a scandal involving a rogue spymaster from the Federation Security Agency who had covertly supported a local warlord, General Kohgish, through several non-governmental organizations. This revelation led to a joint operation between Starfleet and the Fenris Rangers, resulting in the arrest of both the spymaster and General Kohgish.
Following this incident, there were instances of cooperation between Starfleet and the Fenris Rangers, although these were not consistent. Over the period from 2381 to 2399, the Fenris Rangers increasingly engaged in morally questionable activities, attributed to a lack of separation of powers and insufficient funding. These factors compromised their ability to operate within a clear ethical framework, gradually tarnishing their reputation. (PIC novel: Firewall)
In the year 2399, Seven of Nine sacrificed her ship to defend the La Sirena against Kar Kantar's bird of prey at Vashti. (PIC episode: "Absolute Candor")
Seven's Ranger.
In 2411, Seven investigated potential Borg activity in the Traelus system on behalf of the Rangers but became engulfed in an Excalbian trial. (STO - Legacy mission: "Measure of Morality (Part 1)")
Following the trial's conclusion, Seven had determined that the Orion Syndicate had sabotaged the satellites in the Traelus system. Seven informed a Khitomer Alliance officer on Excalbia that she would ask the Fenris Rangers unofficially to dissuade the Syndicate from tampering with the satellites.

Alternate timelines[]
In an alternate timeline beset by the temporal anomaly crisis, Fenris Ranger Seven of Nine was pulled into the late 24th century. Around the year 2380, different timelines were interwoven, and Seven joined Starfleet to help Q resolve the temporal anomaly crisis. (ST video game: Timelines January 2021 event: "Convergence Day")
