The Vanguard Class Light Cruiser is a class of Light Cruiser used by the Space Marine Fleet.
Contents
Overview
Vanguard Cruisers are normally refitted Strike Cruisers rather than purpose-built. They have improved thrusters and defensive turrets, but this comes at the expense of weaker offensive weaponry so Vanguards are less capable in a planetary assault role. As a result, Vanguards are used as scouting vessels operating independently or as heavy escorts as part of a large Space Marine fleet.[2]
Patterns
The Vanguard Light Cruiser comes in three main patterns:[1]
- Mk.I — Armed with Torpedo launchers, Macrocannons, and launch bays for Attack Craft.
- Mk.II — Armed with Lances, Macrocannons, and Attack Craft launch bays.
- Mk.III — Armed with a single Bombardment Cannon, Macrocannons, and Attack Craft Launch Bays.
