History
Founded by Cmdr. Balter “Baltergheist” Kael’Zir in the volatile backdrop of the United Empire of Earth (UEE), Stellar Vanguard emerged as a response to the rising demand for independent military contractors in a galaxy plagued by instability and conflict.
With the UEE Navy stretched thin by border defense, internal unrest, and Vanduul incursions, private forces like ours became essential to maintaining order, protecting assets, and asserting strength where official channels failed. What began as a small team of veterans from the Second Tevarin War quickly evolved into a formidable force operating across Stanton and beyond.
Our founders built Stellar Vanguard to deliver results without bureaucracy. From precision security operations and tactical escorts to deep-infiltration missions in lawless sectors, we earned our name by doing what others wouldn’t or couldn’t.
As interstellar trade expanded and chaos spread through systems like Pyro and Nexus, Stellar Vanguard adapted to survive and thrive. We openly embraced not just high-risk contracts but also the darker side of frontier opportunity. Piracy, smuggling, black market exchanges, and off-the-record raids became part of our operations, conducted with the same discipline and precision as our lawful engagements.
Today, Stellar Vanguard remains a private military company at its core, but one unbound by conventional limits. We are a force that contracts for profit, executes with efficiency, and answers only to our own code. Whether under contract to enforce order or to disrupt it, we stand ready to act with purpose and power in a galaxy where trust is rare, and control is earned.
Manifesto
We are the shield and the sword, the first into the fray and the last to stand down. In the vast, uncharted expanse of the United Empire of Earth, where chaos and opportunity collide, Stellar Vanguard rises to meet the call.
We believe in strength through adaptability. The universe does not cater to the rigid or the unprepared. Whether charting lawful contracts or navigating the shadows, we remain resolute, leveraging our expertise to fulfill any mission, no matter how challenging.
We embrace the duality of our purpose. Law and order are not always absolutes, and survival often lies in the grey. We operate with the understanding that the line between right and necessary is drawn by circumstance, and we are ready to step across it when duty demands.
We honor professionalism above all. Each engagement, every mission, and all our actions reflect the pride we take in our craft. We are more than a force; we are a symbol of competence, integrity, and precision in an unpredictable galaxy.
We respect the bonds of brotherhood and community. Our strength lies in the individuals who choose to stand together as Vanguard. Loyalty and unity are our greatest assets, forging a team that thrives under pressure and succeeds where others falter.
We fight for those who cannot. We rescue those who are lost. We defend those who are threatened. We are not just a service; we are a lifeline, a beacon of hope in the darkest corners of space.
Our purpose is clear: to carve a path through the unknown, to be the force that others depend on, and to leave a legacy written in the stars.
