The Next Generation of Star Wars Tabletop Adventure
The Vanguard is a stalwart defender and frontline enforcer. Specializing in melee combat, battlefield control, and sheer physical resilience, Vanguards protect allies and punish enemies who get too close. They excel in holding the line, absorbing damage, and retaliating with powerful counterattacks. Whether leading a charge or shielding the weak, the Vanguard is a living wall between danger and their team.
