The Shock Vanguard are the spearpoint of Soahtti’s war machine — high-speed, high-impact operatives deployed where the fight is most dangerous and the stakes are highest. They specialize in breaking enemy lines before defenses solidify, seizing critical objectives in the first moments of battle, and destabilizing command structures with precision strikes.
Drawn from the most resilient and adaptable of Soahtti’s soldiers, Vanguard troopers are trained to operate in hostile environments, from dense urban warrens to treacherous wilderness and deep-atmosphere drop zones. Deployment is often via orbital drop pods, grav-chutes, or low-altitude gunship insertions, with the goal of catching the enemy entirely off-balance.
While they thrive in chaos, the Shock Vanguard’s strength lies in discipline — every strike is calculated, every extraction timed to the second. Their operations are often the turning point of a campaign, creating openings for Contract Legion forces and Clause Marshals to secure decisive victories.
