Aegis Vanguard Sentinel
THE ELECTRONIC WARFARE MACHINE
The Aegis A3G Vanguard Sentinel is an electronic warfare ship that's designed to fight smart instead of taking enemies head on. For the Vanguard Sentinel's crew, EMP, quantum control, sensors, or other electronic systems create an opening that ordinary guns cannot produce on their own.

The tactical opening created by the Vanguard Sentinel
The Vanguard Sentinel adapts the long-range Vanguard frame for electronic warfare. An augmented-reality cockpit, external electronic-warfare pod, decoys, and EMP charges help it disrupt enemy systems and create confusion, while the durable two-seat fighter remains able to travel and survive far from immediate support.
Built in an evolving universe
The Vanguard Sentinel is flight ready and entered the live game in Alpha 3.7.0. Because Star Citizen remains in active development, specifications, features, and imagery may change over time.
Combat package
What lets the Vanguard Sentinel contain a target
The Vanguard Sentinel creates its advantage through the heavy fighter with an EMP strike option. Sensors, position, timing, and supporting weapons turn that brief advantage into a useful result.
01
Vanguard Sentinel's conventional armament
The ship has a Size 5 gun hard-point, four Size 2 guns built into the ship's nose, a manned turret with a pair of Size 2 guns and missile racks that can hold four Size 3 and eight Size 2 missiles.
02
Durability
The Vanguard Sentinel's tungsten-alloy structure and redundant systems trade some agility for the durability expected from a long-range heavy fighter.
03
How the Vanguard Sentinel changes configuration
A replaceable central room holds the Sentinel's electronic-warfare equipment, turning the Vanguard frame into a specialist support fighter.
04
Vanguard Sentinel's contact identification
The Vanguard Sentinel must confirm identity and range before applying the heavy fighter with an EMP strike option to a ship that may be moving through crowded space.
05
Vanguard Sentinel's power demand
Specialist equipment competes with propulsion, shields, and weapons, so the Vanguard Sentinel's operator has to watch power and heat during use.
Defining feature
The Sentinel's combat and disruption loadout
The Sentinel carries one Size 5 nose mount, four fixed Size 2 guns, and a manned turret with two more Size 2 guns. Four Size 3 and eight Size 2 missiles support the direct-fire package, while a Size 4 EMP generator can temporarily disable nearby ships.

Detect, disrupt, exploit, hand off
Where the Vanguard Sentinel changes an opponent's options
The Vanguard Sentinel uses the heavy fighter with an EMP strike option to remove an opponent's easiest option, giving the pilot or supporting ships time to control what happens next.
Detect
Choose the system that matters most on the target
For the Vanguard Sentinel, electronic warfare works best when the pilot knows whether mobility, shields, sensors, or quantum travel must be interrupted.
Disrupt
Bring the heavy fighter with an EMP strike option into effective range
In practice aboard the Vanguard Sentinel, timing matters because containment or disruption from the heavy fighter with an EMP strike option lasts only for a limited window.
Exploit
Use the short advantage immediately
For the Vanguard Sentinel's crew, weapons or allied ships need to act while the target is confused, disabled, or unable to leave.
Handoff
Keep allies informed when the effect changes
For the Vanguard Sentinel's crew, clear calls about duration, recovery, and the next target stop the team from relying on a disruption that has already ended.
Tactical details
The equipment behind the Vanguard Sentinel's tactical effect
The Vanguard Sentinel uses its heavy fighter with an EMP strike option to change an encounter, backed by the sensors, timing, and conventional systems needed to exploit the result.
01Electronic warfare
The electronic warfare supports the Vanguard Sentinel's combat work and gives the crew another practical option during the job.
02EMP
It can temporary disable ships with a Size 4 electromagnetic pulse generator.
03Vanguard Sentinel sensor picture
Identification and range information help the Vanguard Sentinel use the heavy fighter with an EMP strike option on the correct contact.
04Specialist controls
Aboard the Vanguard Sentinel, dedicated controls keep the heavy fighter with an EMP strike option accessible without hiding the flight and defensive information the crew still needs.
Crew and operation
The Vanguard Sentinel creates a short opening for the team
The pilot has to identify the system that matters, bring the heavy fighter with an EMP strike option into range, and make sure allies are ready to exploit the disruption.
People behind the systems
Targeting Effect Teamwork
Vanguard Sentinel: Electronic attack works only when someone acts on it
Disabling or confusing a target is temporary. The Vanguard Sentinel's pilot needs clear timing with nearby ships so the advantage becomes a capture, a kill, or a safe passage.
Choose the system the operation needs interrupted
In the Vanguard Sentinel's workflow, EMP, quantum control, sensors, or other electronic systems create an opening that ordinary guns cannot produce on their own.
Apply the disruption inside its useful window
During work with the Vanguard Sentinel, sensors and communication help the crew apply the heavy fighter with an EMP strike option to the correct ship and report what has changed.
Tell allies exactly when the opening begins
The Vanguard Sentinel adds the most value when nearby ships know what changed on the target and how long they have to act.
