The Vostroyan Vanguard

In the desolate, radiation-scarred plains of the outer rim, the Vanguard are the specialists called in when standard suppression isn't enough. While others rely on volume of fire, these soldiers are equipped with the Mark IV Pattern Battle Rifle, a high-caliber kinetic weapon designed to punch through reinforced ceramic armor and light transport plating.

Known for their stoic endurance, the Vanguard units wear pressurized suits and "death-mask" respirators, allowing them to operate in toxic atmospheres for months without resupply. This specific operative is depicted standing atop the debris of a collapsed fortification, scanning the horizon for the next breach.
