The Vanguard

When a cabal of criminal organizations left the protection of the Westphalia and its government in search of a life of freedom and riches in the Lysagora system, it did a bit of headhunting. Recruiting several of the most prominent agents from the PEU in one fell swoop, the newly formed ex-criminal faction titled The Circle formed its own cutting edge group of frontline explorers and combatants. The Vanguard exemplifies the traits of the Circle: independent, bold, and absolutely in it for the money. The Vanguard are given quarters aboard the Queen Senra, the Circle’s capital ship, and are well compensated for their time served on missions. While the Circle lacks the same funding and resources as the Westphalia Collective, it ensures all its agents have sorium for FTL jumps, access to military grade weapons and equipment, and order priority for new starships.
