What do you think became of the Fenris Rangers by the 32nd century?

Done dirt cheap?
I'd like to think Seven did well after whacking Jay (Criminal asset forfeiture, anyone?
)
The whole point of moving DSC to the 32nd Century was to either not have to continue anything from the rest of Star Trek or have whatever was going on in the rest of Star Trek already resolved. Based on that line of thought, I think the Fenris Rangers are no longer around in the 32nd Century. I don't even think they were still around by the time of The Burn in the 31st Century.
For the rest of this post, for the sake of argument, let's say they lasted for centuries. I think The Burn shook everything up to the point where they would've been fractured. New groups would form to take the Fenris Rangers' place.
The different entities that would take the Fenris Rangers' place would probably be providing justice from the Emerald Chain. The 32nd Century is the most rough-and-tumble the galaxy has been in 1,000 years. Even though the Federation is starting to reconnect, they're nowhere near where they used to be.

Yes, but I wanted everyone to play it.I'm familiar with the song.

Which is not what the Fenris Rangers were. They're not mercenaries out for private wealth, they're a citizen's militia trying to provide stability -- a form of mutual aid rather than a for-profit business firm.
That sounds like a very reductive description of what the Fenris Rangers do. But we know that at least one former Fenris Ranger joined Starfleet. There are probably plenty who would join space services like Starfleet. Others might go on to run for elected office. Others might return to whatever careers they had before the Rangers -- scientists, artists, engineers, etc. Infinite possibilities.
That wasn't their primary job.
Evolve.
Hunted down and eaten by the snake-men from the fifth dimension, who infiltrated our Reality in the 28th Century.
I like to think that they eventually transformed into a legitimate government over that part of space.
Perhaps they finally won the World Series?
Oops, sorry, wrong Rangers.
Well, I dunno about a government as such (they didn't seem to be made for that sort of thing) but I can totally see the Fenrises hiring themselves out to whatever governments DO form in the area. A disaster relief team, maybe?

"What do you think became of the Fenris Rangers by the 32nd century?"
You can change the question to : What do you think became of the Knight Templars by the 20th Century?
The answer is simple, there is no Fenris Rangers by the 32nd Century. I prefer a more dynamic Star Trek universe than a uniform one that all factions in 24th century still exist even after 32nd century. So why should Fenris Rangers still exist even by the 32nd century? Even if there are similar faction with similar cause, the name can be different.

They can also stay the same. Or it can be a new group using the old name in honour or reference.
I mean the Maquis in DS9 weren’t a continuation of the French Resistance group of the same name.
