A Vanguard Pilot is a character occupation that I’ve repeatedly thought about putting into a book somewhere but never found a place for. The Vanguard is an attack helicopter that is stated out in the main book, but no PCs get access to it. I imagine that putting the pilot CO out on the website would at least make it available until I could find a proper place to put it.
The Vanguard pilot is the calvary that is called in when everything has gone wrong. They rely on their unparalleled firepower to repel enemy forces as they have very little in the way of defensive capabilities.
