Vanguard

Vanguard emerges in Golden Son as the Society's crowning achievement in naval architecture—a five-kilometer flagship whose blackmatter engines and iridescent pulseShields represent seven centuries of refinement. Throughout the Red Rising Saga, this vessel transforms from a symbol of Gold supremacy into a contested battleground whose fate mirrors the shifting tides of interstellar war. Its railgun banks and city-sized hangars become both the instruments and the stakes of revolution, as control of Vanguard passes between factions and its immense power is turned against its original masters.
