A Ranger (Minbari: '''Anla'Shok''') is a fictional class of Warrior that plays a prominent part of the Science Fiction Television Series , '' Babylon 5 ''. HISTORY The Anla'Shok (Rangers) were organized by the Minbari for the purposes of providing a dedicated fighting force specifically for the prophesied second Shadow War that the cultural hero Valen warned would occur in the future. Unfortunately, as the centuries passed, the class' status seriously declined as the Minbari government, particularly the Warrior Caste members of the Grey Council , grew to doubt the validity of the prophecy. As such, the organization became seriously undermanned and underfunded, especially in the time in 23rd Century (Terran Calendar) when the predicted signs of the Shadows' return were starting to become evident. During the interim between the Shadow Wars, the Anla'shok were usually led by the Anla'shok Na or Ranger One until the reappearance of Jeffrey Sinclair , who took Valen's title of Entil'Zha or the One Who Creates The Future. After Sinclair's disappearance, Ambassador Delenn took over the leadership of the Rangers and became Entil'Zha until her election to the Presidency of the Interstellar Alliance , John Sheridan then became the Entil'Zha following his presidency. After Sheridan was taken from the galaxy by Lorien , Susan Ivanova was named the new head of the Anla'shok. EARTH-MINBARI WAR When the Earth-Minbari War broke out, Lenonn (the leader of the Rangers at the time) attempted to reach a peaceful settlement, but was killed when a Centauri sneak attack hit the meeting. After the war's conclusion, the Rangers were largely dormant, but were soon reorganized and strengthened as evidence of the Shadows' reappearance became obvious in certain circles. SHADOW WAR When the Shadows finally made first openly aggressive acts, the force swung into action under the command of Jeffrey Sinclair (Known as The One who Was), John Sheridan (The One who will be), and Delenn (The One who is) and became a central part of the opposing alliance. After the resolution of the conflict, the Rangers became a prominent peacekeeping force in known space and would still be existent one million years in the future after the Humans and probably the Minbari became beings like the First Ones .
