Criteria

The Order of the Vanguard is awarded to members for extended service in the fleet. It is granted for each year of service in the Emperor's Hammer as determined by the member's date of initial membership.

Award Authority

Not applicable; the Order of the Vanguard is administratively awarded automatically by the web site database system.
