The [[Aegis Dynamics|Aegis]] A3G '''Vanguard Harbringer''' is [[UEE|UEE's]] standard fighter-bomber, converting the standard [[Vanguard Warden|Warden]] model's escape pod into a potent bomb bay. The extended range of the Vanguard and the relatively small profile mean that it can go where carrier-based planes or larger strategic bombers don't… and then strike hard and make it back to frontier bases.

The Aegis A3G Vanguard Harbinger is UEE's standard fighter-bomber, converting the standard Warden model's escape pod into a potent bomb bay. The extended range of the Vanguard and the relatively small profile mean that it can go where carrier-based planes or larger strategic bombers don't… and then strike hard and make it back to frontier bases. The Vanguard Harbinger is a powerful bomber that can operate out of the roughest forward operating bases.[1]
