The Fraternal Order of the Pathfinder has commissioned numerous units whose sole purposes are areas such as medical science, agricultural development, and infrastructure. The Vanguard Division’s sole purpose is the discovery, exploration, and scouting of new worlds and their dangers.
During the early years of human expansion the Fraternal Order of the Pathfinder was founded with the sole purpose of guiding and capacitating this goal. The Pathfinders consisted of philanthropist, scientists, doctors, veterans, engineers and many other skilled personnel. The Pathfinders have commissioned and maintain individual units responsible for advancements in biological, technological and environmental science, units involved in designing and maintaining infrastructure. At the founding of the Fraternal Order of the Pathfinder, human population had become unmaintainable. The Pathfinders commissioned a unit responsible with finding a new home world for humanity. This unit was the Vanguard Division. The Vanguard were selected from the top soldiers, pilots and scientists and tasked with the first expedition to find humanity a new home. They succeeded. After colonization and mass migration the Vanguard Division was decommissioned. Now after years of human growth and advancement in space travel, the Pathfinders have once again commissioned the Vanguard Division with the purpose of the discovery, exploration and scouting of new worlds and their resources, lifeforms and dangers.
