The unit was to return home to Victoria but was called into action with emergence of a new pirate state. The Fronc Reaches began to threaten the Trinity Alliance. Pirate bands such as the Calderon Commandos began raiding Taurian-controlled space. The Rangers fought a few skimishes on the world of Hellespont and other locations. Having difficulities trying to narrow down aims of the Commandos, the Chancellor sent aid in form of his own Death Commandos. The Fronc Reaches government tired of the raiding as well and closed its borders, limiting the Commandos's movement. This allowed the Rangers return to Victoria.

After inflicting significant damage, Sung's Rangers attempted to dislodge the renegade mercenary unit. However, Olson's Rangers managed to escape them by hijacking a nearby civilian DropShip. Sung's aerospace assets, Sung's Air Raiders, joined with the Victoria Home Guard's aerospace fighters and attempted to stop them from escaping, but they too met with failure.[4]
Sung's Rangers then broke up into battalion-sized groups and protected the Capellan-Periphery border for the next ten years. They successfully repelled several attacks by the Taurian Concordat as well as several pirate groups. They performed so well that the commander of the Victoria Commonality Rangers is considering petitioning for each battalion to form the core of a regimental battle group once Capellan factories are back on-line. Sung's Rangers remain separated into battalions, with one each on Ward, New Roland, and Renown.[5]
Officers

Though, regimental and battalion commands are still determined based on skill by the CCAF.
