a Second Miss Space

Generally fighting in front of the squadron, the role of the Vanguards is to keep the enemy out of range of the others, and the "Storm" load focuses on capability to engage the enemy at both short and medium range, with a shield for additional protection. The role of first Storm Vanguard in the squadron is generally the most coveted, as it implies being one of the most trusted and able. All Pilots when first commissioned are Officers, to the rank of Lieutenant.
