Failure Is Not Fatal
[SIZE=12pt]The Vanguard[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]The Vanguard is an imperial organisation funded by the First Order. With Star Destroyers, TIE Fighters, Stormtroopers and a burgeoning cult of Dark Sider Acolytes they control much of the territory west of the Alliance. The First Order uses them as a proxy organisation to slow the advance of the Alliance. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Master Qorbin Fal leads the nefarious cult of Force users. Within their territory they build ziggurats formed of dark obsidian where they gather any artefacts, holocrons and Sith tomes they can find and train the new batch of recruits. Previously mass graves were uncovered in Alliance space, where they had conducted vile experiments combining Alchemy and cybernetics to create dark side abominations. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]History[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]
A group of devious Moffs, estranged from the One Sith and shattered Imperial Remnants, descended upon nearby worlds as the Omega Protectorate collapsed. They formed an organisation known as the Final Order. Under the control of a mysterious figure, who is often referred to as The Leader but is never seen in public, they have taken control of a number of systems.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]
As each system fell under their control, they have siphoned funds to pay for numerous Stormtrooper garrisons that are used to enforce order. When protests have broken out, they have been known to lower Star Destroyers into the atmosphere as a show of power, dispersing resistance with laser fire.[/SIZE]

Their navy was at first too strong for the Alliance to take on directly. Originally they maintained control with four full sized, modernised Imperial-class Star Destroyers:[/SIZE]

- [SIZE=12pt]ISD Indomitable[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=12pt]ISD Impervious[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=12pt]ISD Impregnable[/SIZE]

Eventually the Alliance started to tip the scales on the Final Order. Battles at Javin, Feenix in deep space, and finally an all-out assault on Sullust led to the Final Order’s strength being broken. The Alliance turned its attention to removing the First Order from Eriadu and making inroads into One Sith space. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]The Leader turned out to be a Dark Jedi Master known as Qorbin Fal. Whilst he continued operations near Alliance space, notably at Omwat, the new Alliance war machine scattered what was left of their military, whilst the New Jedi Order brought an end the their vile experiments and purged each of their dark temples.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]However the First Order, concerned at the rapid expansion of the Alliance gathered what was left of the Final Order. A separate entity was formed, known as The Vanguard. [/SIZE]
