Lately, many in the [[LCAF]] and [[LAAF]] see them as divisive for their ties to the [[Free Skye]] movement. The Skye Rangers have maintained close ties to its parent state, recruiting almost exclusively from the Federation, with many [[Sanglamore]] graduates heading to fill billets in the brigade. As such, the unit frequently sides with the leader of the Skye region, not the Archon.<ref name=FMLA90>''Field Manual: Lyran Alliance'', p. 90</ref> </onlyinclude> ==History== While it is said the [[Tamar Pact]] brought martial skill to the nascent Lyran Commonwealth,<ref>''Field Manual: Lyran Alliance'', p. 6</ref> the Skye Rangers have long been the largest of the original provincial militaries.
