The Vanguard is a very compact Carrier and the smallest in the game. It has low Turret and Fighter firepower and is commonly used as a support Carrier. The outside appears very armored, but it has rather low health for a Carrier-class ship.
This Carrier contains 3 Y.Falcons.
Interior

Advantages
- Smaller than some other Carriers, about the size of the average Dreadnought; if not a little smaller, but with decent speed, making it more difficult to hit.
- Powerful Spinals.

Strategy
- A very powerful ship for killing Miners or Freighters with since you can deploy the Y.Falcons to distract the Starbase and destroy other ships while the base is distracted.
- Do not use the Vanguard in a siege unless no one else has a Carrier, as only one is allowed per faction.
