Arsenal
Main Article: Gaiaterra: Elysea's Conflict/Rangers Arsenal

Base Building
Similar to the Conglomerate, the Rangers only have one base, the Nexus, which is heavily guarded and periodically sends out Creeps, which can only be directed by waypoints. But the loss of a Nexus will force the Rangers to retreat.

Hero Team
Once the battle starts a drop pod, carrying the five commandoes, will land. Unlike other factions, these are the only units the commander can directly control, outside of the Alpha Workers, and can only have one of each commando, who will respawn after some time if they fall in battle, but resources can be expanded to instantly bring them back. But in turn, the five commandoes have powerful abilities and thrice the levels compared to other commandoes, can upgrade their abilities, and can be given powerful upgrades from the Nexus.

Unit Creation
Unique for their faction. The Rangers can only build Alpha Workers. And in place of vehicles, aircraft, and vessels the commander can summon powerful Nexus support abilities, ranging from buffs, debuffs, and bombarding the enemy, that are significantly stronger than their general powers but cost resources to use.

Creeps
Made to compensate for the Ranger's small forces. Creeps, ranging from infantry, vehicles, aircraft, and vessels are units periodically made from the Nexus and Inhibitors, which can only be controlled by directing them with a waypoint. And while they are free are incredibly weak, often needing the aid of a Ranger to win a battle.

Strike Powers
Another tool made to compensate for the Ranger's small forces. Strike powers are a secondary set of general powers, replacing the tabs used to make vehicles, aircraft, and vessels for other factions, that are crucial for the Ranger's success, from support drones to devastating airstrikes, but cost resources to both use and upgrade. These Strike Powers are also responsible for summoning both the Commando and Epic Units.

Teleportation
Once the Teleportation Grid is built the commander will have the ability to teleport their commandoes within an area to another location, giving their small force incredibly mobility. But it comes with a long cooldown, thus multiple Teleportation Grid are required if the commander wants to rapidly transport their commandoes
