The Vanguard is a small and speedy Battlecruiser-Carrier hybrid. Template:Ship Infobox Template
Description
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 2 Falcons.
Interior
When you enter the ship through the right hangar, there will be a command room to the right. Inside the command room, there is a pilot seat and some control panels.
Advantages
- Much smaller than most other Carriers, about the size of a Battlecruiser, making it more difficult to hit.
- Powerful Spinals.
- Durable Fighters.
- Very fast Turn Speed, one of the fastest in the game.
- Fastest Carrier in the game, being even faster than 3 Cruisers and 4 Destroyers.
- Very high health for a ship of its size and speed, with a total of 11400 health.
- Extremely small blind spots.
Disadvantages
- Only has 3 Falcons.
- Low Shield damage without using its Spinals.
- Low acceleration.
- If other carriers are available, the use of this ship is impractical as only one Carrier is allowed per faction.
- Requires the Galaxy VIP Gamepass to obtain.
Strategy
- A very powerful ship for killing Miners or Freighters with since you can deploy the Falcons to distract the Starbase and destroy the 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.
- Use the Falcons the way you would use a Viper while Sieging since they are tanky but have a poor armament.
Version History
- Received a price decrease in version .61g.

Trivia
- The smallest Carrier in Galaxy.
- It's the only VIP Gamepass Carrier.
- The only Carrier in the game that spawns Falcons.
- The Sakala uses the same description as the Vanguard.
The model is currently broken, so that the fighters spawn too high and are hard to enter.The model was fixed in a recent update when the Vanguard was re-released into the game.
