To a certain extent, the Vigilante is a product of the Novgorod Conference of the Great Council of the Galaxy in 951 AG (also called the 5th GGC Convention).
The Vigilante uses a classic (or what could be called archaic) fusiform design, with steady overall performance, and a sleek, lightweight body adept at weaving through asteroid belts. It has performed well in law enforcement uses, but is not great on a ""real"" battlefield for obvious political reasons.
After Galactic War IV, with a proposal from Neo-Europa that was seconded by the Dawn Community and United Solar Systems of Hygara, the Great Council of the Galaxy was re-established. In order to maintain their hard-fought peace and freedom and prevent any form of tyranny, after a series of councils, the various states reached an difficult agreement: All would give up part of their actual power, including military power, to establish the Great Council's peacekeeping force, whose personnel would be drawn from each state's military. But this Peacekeeping Force was a powerful armed force, and needed to be placed under many restrictions. Every operation needed to be applied for and approved through the Great Council's many procedures, then had to be agreed upon by the corresponding states' governments before it could be carried out.
In order to solve this problem, the Great Council formed the Council Security Force, which managed the peacekeeping force, and established a non-threatening joint police force that would patrol all sectors. To achieve this, the joint police force would need a ship that could engage in patrols and maintain the peace, while not really possessing threatening firepower. This ship was the Vigilante.
Editorialists believed that the Vigilante wasn't really needed from the very beginning, because even if every state compromised and gave up power to form the Great Council due to the situation, they didn't want a powerful ship with permission to enter any state's territory to exist.
