Vanguard is a private mercenary guild founded in Year 26 by Elsyn Voss, a former stormtrooper commander and seasoned tactician who sought something beyond the rigid ideologies of the dominant governing forces in the galaxy. With the backing of Clan Rish'ak, a respected and battle-hardened Mandalorian house, she found the strength and legitimacy needed to forge a new path forward.

Headquartered in a cluster of reclaimed facilities located deep in the Locris Sector, Vanguard has repurposed and revitalized the legacy infrastructure left behind by a defunct technocratic faction known as The Creators. These installations now serve as the nerve center for Vanguard operations; housing training grounds, fabrication plants, and command suites designed for rapid deployment and sustained warfare.

Vanguard operates across the fringes of known space, offering high-end security, strategic interventions, bounty enforcement, and anti-piracy operations to clients ranging from planetary governments to private interests. Their forces are a unique hybrid: ex-Imperials, Mandalorian warriors, and specialists recruited from the fringes of the galaxy, all united under a strict code of conduct emphasizing loyalty, precision, and discipline.
