Nova Vanguard - The Argon's Nova Vanguard variant, this ship exceeds the standard model in both speed and weapons energy, seemingly without sacrifice. This makes the ship an excellent choice for those with extra cash to spend who are looking to purchase a Nova (or, indeed, those seeking to obtain one by more questionable means). When the long serving Argon Elite was retired four jazuras ago, the Argon military was left without an M3 fighter, that was until a group of Shipwrights in Omicron Lyrae put forward plans for a new type of ship. The Nova was born shortly afterwards, and after two jazuras of testing virtually all of the older Elite class ship have been replaced by this new craft.
Capable of holding powerful weaponry, and armed with an aft turret, the Nova is bound to serve the Argon military for many jazuras to come.

Essentially a souped-up Nova, the Vanguard variant combines speed, firepower, and resilience in the classic Argon way, providing a craft which performs well in all aspects.

As with all Argon ship variants, the Vanguard was produced almost simultaneously as a higher budget variant available to wealthier customers and some branches of the Argon fleet.
