This module adds the Vanguard Elite (internal ship name imperialBigElite), an upgraded version of the Vanguard.
It can be obtained by either starting a new game and selecting the ship, or buying it in a station within a system other than the spawn system for 5000 credits. This module also adds this ship as an ally with three squads of three ships roaming around in each non-spawn system.
As of 12/24/2024, the latest source build is required as the module utilizes changes made in a specific file.

The module has been updated to fix a bug that prevented the game from loading. The Vanguard Elite has also
been properly added to the imperial faction and the disposition value is set to 5, so the Empire
(including the Vanguard Elite allies) will now become hostile if harmed enough. It is now available for
purchase as a mercenary in stations in non-spawn systems for 10000 credits.
An animation was added to the Vanguard Elite's siren lights. (Animation by Du4lity5151)
