An Acclamator would be good. Clone Wars vintage, with skimmed down armament for systems patrol. It could also double as a carrier ship, ferrying confiscated cargos and any fighters.
Then, maybe give it a CR 90 to act as a support. Each system should also have one IPV, depending on importance, and for immediate, guaranteed presence.
But if you simply must have support frigates, I say use either stripped Dreadnaughts or Carracks. I'm not sure if they'll be considered too big, though.
If you'd rather have more fighters, though, you can't go wrong with an Imperial Escort Cruiser. Not sure if you can get a hold of one, but they can carry up to a wing of TIEs, so I'm sure they could be retrofitted to carry a few squadrons of your fightr of choice.

For the support frigates I was thinking under 200m ships. Like the CR70/90s. And then maybe a Gunship or such.

Not likely. Again I'm going back to my FBI analogy. We're mostly from Nebraska here, which is quite frankly a national backwater. There is one FBI branch office in Omaha, Nebraska and if you've seen it you'd know how puny the FBI presence in Nebraska is.
It's a single story building with six parking places out front. So Nebraska has about ~ 6 FBI agents. If we consider that Sector Rangers handle the same duties as the DEA, FBI, and ATF combined we again come up with a tiny force for our backwater of about 6, because I don't know of any DEA and ATF offices in the state. Maybe there are some in Lincoln...
As I said the Sector Rangers would fly small 1-2 man ships. Have you ever heard of CorSec owning anything bigger than a small corvette for its duties? Thats despite being one of the biggest sectors and one of the most frequented by the smugglers and the like.

CR70/90s and Gunships are corvettes.
Go look at the OGG entry in the OR

I always saw the rangers as sort of in between a policing force and a special operations, like said organizations. I guess I was thinknig more of the side of an Oversectors force, I dunno.
So maybe 12 or more corvettes and then Firesprays and Pursuers, with a combined number of about 250 or so officers, not including basic organization personnel. The main base being a small space-station over the capitol planet's spaceport, with one or two planet-side stations per system, depending on system size.

12 corvettes x 40 crew per corvette = 480
That's not counting non-crew officers
But, I say that's a good number overall for all sector operations. At least half of them would work at the sector Capital, with the rest being used to patrol the 25 or so other systems
But, I wouldn't use all corvettes. I'd only keep about 3 corvettes, and the rest as IPVs.
Besides, IPVs use far less crew. A minimum crew of 4 per ship would mean you can have more ships, and need fewer men, if you were really pushed. Either way, a dozen per ship means only 144 crew needed to run the ships, which is a much better deal for person-strapped backwater sector.

Gah... numbers... emo The way I think I'm going to do it, is that each systems police force will have a contingent of Rangers and ships to use, though they much crew them under those Rangers. Its that or I'm going to have to up the number of official personnel.

You need to keep your numbers down, man. Actual Sector Ranger operatives should be a small fraction of the sector-wide defense force.
So really, it'd be each systems police force would have some ships given to it by the sector defense force, and then the systems force would work in cooperation with the local store of Sector Rangers. Think the FBI working with the police on a job. You have a small handful of agents, working with a few dozen police.

That was the idea, yes. Ill figure it out and put it down. I'm not really going to be controlling them anyway, least not now.
I guess a handful of IPVs with hyperdrives and corvettes with patrol ships do the job. With a station of Rangers for each system.

________ Sector Ranger Headquarters
1 Clerk
3 Maintenance Droids
2 Security Droids
1 Sector Government Liason Officer
1 Assistant
10 Field Agents
2 IPV-I Patrol Craft (12 Crew Each)
1 CR 90 'Command Ship' (40 Crew)
10 KDY Pursuer-class Fighters
Major Systems
1 Clerk
5 Droids
1 System Government Liason officer
1 Assistant
3 Field Agents
1 IPV-I Patrol Craft (12 Crew Each)
3 KDY Pursuer-class Fighters
Minor Systems
1 Clerk
2 Droids
2 Field Agents
1 IPV-I Patrol Craft (6 Crew)
3 KDY Pursuer-class Fighters
Any mechanics or extraneous crew and soldier needs would probably be borrowed from the local police force.
Also, depending on the system and how civilizied it is, some systems might have to share Secotr Ranger presences.

What is this Pursuer-class Fighter of which you speak?
The Law-class Light Patrol craft or do you mean the MandalMotors Pursuer-class Enforcement Ship.

Ah, I was mistaken again. I was thinking the Firespray, as made by KDY and made popular by the Fetts.

How bout we push back the time frame back to 17 ABY so its concurrent with the Black Fleet Crisis. It's a time of relative peace between the empire and new republic. The Empire is unified under Pelleaon and the New Republic has gotten a ton of new ship classes... plus its distracted and introverted more concerned with the Yevetha than the Empire.

That would give the New Rep a clear edge, since it'd hav both newer ships and a larger fleet
I like challenges
