Aegis Vanguard Sentinel

flight-ready Combat Heavy Fighter / Bomber Size 3 since Alpha 3.7.0

The Vanguard Sentinel is a ship that's designed to fight smart instead of taking enemies head on. The conversion features an AR cockpit, an external e-War pod, decoy missiles and a set of EMP charges. Vanguard Sentinels often provide necessary combat support for combined operations. A lone Sentinel is frequently paired with Harbinger bombers and Warden escorts for large attack missions.
