Description:
Queens Rangers were originally from the highest class of warriors upon Hapes. Personally picked from the top tier of the Hapan Queen Mothers Royal guard, and taught how to utilize guerilla warfare, and Skirmish tactics to a tee. Many senior Rangers that were gifted in the force travelled to Dathomir, to learn the arts of the White Current, Manipulation of Nature and Illusory spells. Each Ranger carries a Longrifle of Slughthrower design, a Vibro Tomahawk, and a Plasma bow.
They were never used much in the wars, more as a patrol and law enforcement agency in the backwaters of The Hapes Cluster.
Then the One Sith came to Hapes. Under the leadership of a notable Ranger Talia, whose last name is unknown, they rose up and deserted their ranks. The Rangers tired of seeing their people mercilessly abused and puppeteered by the agents of the One Sith launched a Campaign to take back control of the Hapan system. They laid waste to local garrisons and assets, setting traps and luring entire patrols to their doom.
Unfortunately the tides turned, as the Hapan Queen Mother sought to save face with her Sith overlords and reign in the Wild Rangers. A task force of Sith Soldiers, Inquisitors and Hapan Royal Security forces was sent out, to exterminate or capture them. They resisted until the end, making their enemies bleed out slowly. In the end it was a defeat. In a last stand they reached out for help to the Mandalorians, sharing a common warrior culture and believing the Republic to be too weak to help them.
Jack Raxis led a strike team of Smugglers and Mando'ade with a small fleet of Vessels to Hapes. As their final battle raged, he managed to collect and ferry them away, taking them back to Mandalore where they would be safe, until such time as Hapes was free again.
In a debt the Rangers pledged their services to the United Clans, and Jack Raxis when he needed them. In an homage to their heritage they retained their name and they now train, live and fight alongside the Mando'ade, teaching their tactics and mixing strategies to provide a diverse mix of capabilities on the battlefields.

Note: Only Squadron leaders have achieved this power through strenuous study. That makes 10 Individuals who posses it. It is used in two primary forms. To make it appear to be double the amount of Rangers than initially thought. Or to set up cover until an ambush can be initiated.
That is it's only two uses.
