Vanguard

Vanguard are the elite sword fighters of Venezia. The origin of Vanguard is that after the Covert Operations shutdown in Acropolis, and the halt of re-engineering clones of the Replica Forces Sword-Fighters in Vesuvius, the High Command thought the need for a mixed division tasked with peacekeeping, thus, the Vanguard was established to protect the High Command and to be melee combatants of Venezia. They train in the Vanguard temple, which is a refurbished Covert Operations base. The Vanguard temple serves as a place where they can practice their sword fighting away from distraction. The Vanguard’s motto is “Protection and Unity. Henceforth stands the Vanguard.”
