Vanguard

The Vanguard was a Landfall-class light transport that was carried aboard the Rodina to the Danica/Zorica system. Late in the journey, it was launched out, carrying roughly 1000 Rodina passengers to the system, in order to spend 7 to 8 years scouting the system for the ship.

History
When the Vanguard arrived, it was attacked and harrassed by small Xeno forces. While at first the Rodina's Wagon Master and Council disbelieved them, they soon realized the gravity of the situation. Soon afterword, the Vanguard was destroyed, showering debris onto nearly every asteroid and planet in the system.
