Lieutenant Dior had a minor role as a gunship, shuttle, and transport pilot series one added Ensign Alex Carmine initially as Dior's navigator, but Carmine quickly became a fan favourite and was included more and more in stories.
Yahto became an ARC Trooper and earned the nickname Scanner because of that recon slant Viridis meanwhile became more of an ARF Trooper, and was often seen utilising tactical walkers and heavy weapons platforms. Changes were made during series one to make it more marketable: Abbán became a Commander with his own ship, and the Rangers became his elite team. Throughout the feature, the Rangers wore Phase I armour decorated with the rank colours used during the Battle of Geonosis: red for Captain Abbán, blue for Lieutenant Yahto, green for Sergeant Viridis, and yellow for Pilot Dior.īecause of it's potential as a propaganda tool, COMPOR commissioned a limited ongoing series, as well as the first wave of toys and action figures. Some of the events depicted were based on the actions of the 501st Legion, and of Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan Ahsoka Tano. When their LAAT/i Gunship was shot down on it's way to disable a Separatist shield generator, Abbán was injured, leaving Cadet Lieutenant Scanlan Yahto, Cadet Sergeant Viego Viridis, and Cadet Pilot Goran Dior to complete the objective and get their squad to safety.
Originally intended to be only a single holo-feature, Republic Rangers: Intergalactic Rescue focused on Judicial Forces veteran Jethro Abbán, an instructor at the Judicial Academy on Carida, who brought a squad of the Academy's most promising Cadets to assist in the Battle of Christophsis. The series and it's sequel, Imperial Sector Rangers, notably starred a young Ceto Rübezahl - the incumbent Moff of the Greater Javin Sector - who went on to have a successful holomovie career before retiring into politics. As an added benefit, the series helped to create a disconnect between Republic victories and Jedi participation: an important step in turning public opinion against the Jedi following Order 66. The series had a lucrative tie-in toy line, but in addition to generating revenue for the war effort it served a much more important propaganda role: public support for a war between clones and droids had begun to wane, and Republic Rangers was intended to "put a more human face on the war effort". Produced during the Clone Wars, Republic Rangers: Intergalactic Rescue was a series of holo-dramas that followed the exploits of a group of young Judicial officers, often dramatising real missions and battles but with the Republic Rangers replacing the roles of the Jedi and elite clone forces within the stories.
