Star Citizen ship: Aegis Vanguard Sentinel, heavy fighter / bomber

The Vanguard Sentinel fights smart rather than head-on: an AR cockpit, an e-war pod, decoy missiles and EMP charges. It often supports Harbinger bombers and Warden escorts on large strikes.

📜 Its history

The Vanguard line is Aegis’s family of long-range heavy fighters, built to operate from rough frontier bases, far from carriers.
