== Description ==
 
== Description ==
The '''Ranger''' was originally designed as an armored personnel carrier for use in urban combat environments, and it has been adapted to law enforcement duties. The vehicle's current version (UPU-3000) first appeared near the end of the [[Third Succession War]] in the [[Lyran Commonwealth]].  The Ranger is common in many urban cities in the Great House. It has been given the designation of UPU (Urban Pacification Unit).  Though the vehicle was a failure as a military-grade Armored Personnel Carrier, the Ranger's basic design has proven to be effective for law enforcement and corporate security in both the Lyran Commonwealth and Federated Suns.<ref name="TRO:VAp42"/><ref name="TRO:VArp36"/>
