Hm, to be the Fall Guy, maybe? Because then failure to defeat the Rangers becomes not-their-fault, it's because of insert-incompetent-general-here. Which doesn't explain why they don't just get rid of them in favour of someone *hopefully* more competent, admittedly, but it's a theory. :)

Or maybe, like in the case of Flurious and Norg, it's just another body around the place so they're not entirely isolated/don't have to do everything themselves.

Hm, those are good ideas. I can see that for side kicks like Norg. Though in Venjix's case, why doesn't he just rebuilt them to be more competent, I wonder.

Do you think it might be a case of where they started out good and it's only once they hit up against Rangers that we're seeing a serious challenge that these guys aren't up to?

Can't speak for the first as I haven't seen any RPM, but for the second, yeah, it's possible. For those with an empire's worth of resources behind them, like Gruum or whoever, it wouldn't be too hard to put it down to getting complacent and rusty, so when they come up a ranger team they're way out of practice and just realising that the rules of the game have changed/don't apply on this planet. Or something. :)
