About me
Greetings of peace, ! I started contributing to this wiki early March of 2009. I had an "itch" that had to be "scratched". The "itch" is the Vanguard Command concept whose components I've so far been trying to post and build upon lately on this site. It was languishing in a deeply embedded folder on my laptop for years prior to 2009 and I had to find some space that (I hope)could preserve it. In the process, I would be also able to share the concept to others of like mind.

I stopped for several years after 2009 and only returned early this year (2018) because I was disappointed by the way unregistered and registered-but-new users tamper with the pages I had created to develop the Vanguard universe. I was hoping that, if they had their own ideas, they should create their own universe and make their own pages. This is a fandom wiki after all. But no. They had to tamper with the dedicated pages of older users. This time I hope this won't happen that much.

The Vanguard universe
The storyline and setting of Vanguard Command is made six years after 2379.

There are new central characters in this setting and new kinds of starships (well, the new ones are actually kitbashes, coz I don't have the software to do the same awesome work that other ST fanatics out there). These ships (canon, online, and new) are more combat oriented in this universe, which suits me just fine. And much bigger in scope, I would like to think. This time around, the setting is Vanguard Fleet-wide and not just within the confines of a starship or a deep space station.

Old characters and their back stories are carried over to this setting for purposes of continuity. I tend towards having good continuity. Besides I wanted the old characters to continue their development. I was not contented with how the TNG, DS9 and VOY characters were played out in the last episodes. I'd like these character to play out here in Vanguard Command, though to a lesser degree.

In this universe, the rank of Commodore is used, instead of Rear Admiral (lower grade, or l.g.).

In this universe, Kathryn Janeway was not preposterously double-step promoted (even in a make-believe universe such as ST it is out of this world - pun intended) straight to the rank of Vice Admiral from Captain after her return to Earth. In this universe she rose steadily and properly to Commodore and then Rear Admiral of a six-year period. Of course, this is with all due respect to the ST franchise and Paramount (who probably decided on the double-step promotion phenomenon in spite of the presence of such far greater luminaries as Kirk and Picard).

In this universe, Jean-Luc Picard was finally given his due as a living legend and had risen to the rank of Rear Admiral. His desire to remain commanding a starship was still accommodated. The compromise was that, instead of only one awesome ship, he was placed in command of the largest task force in the largest fleet of Starfleet.

In this universe, James T. Kirk was reinstated his old flag rank of Rear Admiral and put in charge of the same kind of missions that only he could accomplish, but now with more muscle with a small but powerful task force under him.

I prefer not to discuss with other ST fanatics about the probabilities of my version of the ST universe in comparison to the prime ST universe and the spin off developments on the novels, because the probabilities of the prime ST universe and the real world do not match also. particularly if such probabilities include double-step rank promotions from Captain to Vice Admiral in a naval organization. Or about a legendary captain who is perhaps second only to Kirk who never get to become at least a Rear Admiral in rank, in comparison to all of his peers in his generation.

At any rate, this is my version of the ST universe. And everyone is free to create their own spin-offs from what has happened on canon and on the novels as long as they don't use it for commercial purposes.
