Lore: The Vanguard is the Legion's line-of-battle destroyer: a purpose-built warship with a spinal heavy gun, broadside mounts, and enough point-defense to screen a convoy. Vanguards form the backbone of Legion battlegroups. They are not elegant; they are effective. A single Vanguard can suppress a Rim system; a squadron can crack a station.
