The Vanguard cruiser is good at assaulting, and has good electronic compatibility and maneuverability. It boasts steady performance on the battlefield.
The Vanguard cruiser is one of the most outstanding representations of the Modern Neo-Europan Military Technology Revolution, but is also seen as a disgrace, as it uses particle cannons that aren't in the style of Neo-Europa, and is a disruptor, a role which is scorned by the Neo-Europa military.
When the concept of the Vanguard project was first proposed, almost nobody thought it would have good prospects, and it barely elicited a reaction after its development was completed. This was mainly because military experts believed that it was far from the role of a cruiser, which should be steady and reliable. Its weak armor made others believe it was a clumsy and weak target, and as an assault ship, the role it played couldn't make up for its expensive cost.
The deviant Modine Industrial Group turned a deaf ear to these comments. The researchers linked up the onboard tactical components with special devices, so that the ship had an absolute advantage in assaults.
In combat, once the Rapid Radiant Energy Constraint Field is activated, it can convert damage for a short time, and feed the excessive energy from enemy attacks back into its own energy system to boost speed. The independent Feedback Supercharge Field Unit in the main turret can effectively convert enemy damage. Once it accumulates enough energy, it can unleash the field for a ranged attack, which makes the ship invincible during a breakthrough. Although the Experimental Gravitational Thruster requires a decrease in ship's firepower, it is very practical for escaping battle.
These designs achieved success unexpectedly. In 1003 AG, in the conflict between the Neo-Europan military and Oraclite at Nessus, Vanguards broke the siege with the help of Sentinels, and effectively supported the allies' offensive. This is the event that made the Vanguards famous.
