Description:
The Vanguard Cruiser is without a doubt the most powerful (if the most expensive) ship in the Arizonan fleet. Though smaller even than the Arrow and Bulwark II lines, the Vanguard is designed to take ships twice it's size on and obliterate them completely. Equipped with technologies like those utilized on the Stahldolch, including other "surprises" the full import of which shall be seen in time, this ship combines brute strength with tactical and technological ingenuity.
