A special unit of the Vanguard, the Lance was formed for rapid strike and response missions involving extreme combat operations. These 'Lancers' were selected from Vanguard recruits deemed unsuitable for use in the Vanguard's other divisions, and hence considered expendable. Operating under the Aegis of Lady Grey, the Lancers distinguished themselves in a year of almost non-stop combat. Come and join them as they celebrate their first anniversary and their continued survival and success - despite the odds!
It's been a fun year and now it's time to kick back and enjoy. Everyone on Triumph is welcome to come along and join in the open events! It'll be one week or action and more is always better!
General Assembly & Group Photo Lancers Only
8:30PM EST
All Lancer personnel will assemble in the base for a brief address by the Colonel and a Group photo. All personnel are invited including Blackguards and freelance associates. Uniforms are requested but not mandatory.
Rikti War Zone Sweep (Immediately following the Assembly) Everyone welcome!
~9:00 PM EST
Following the Assembly, Lancer forces will gather in the courtyard west of the Vanguard Compound and then move out into the Rikti War Zone and clear enemy forces from the Malta Base, the Council Headquarters and then sweep north, past the Mothership and take on the Rikti forces north of the Crash Site.
Any and all assistance is welcome in dealing with the Rikti presence in the War Zone.

Rikti Mothership Raid Everyone welcome!
8:00PM EST
An all-out assault on the Rikti Mothership! No defense put up by U'kon Gr'ai and the Rikti Magi will deter the Lancer forces from disabling the Mothership. We'll likely run more than one, depending on interest.
The group will start in Fort Plum at Point du Hoc and move out from there, taking down the pylons and then attacking the Motherhsip itself.

Fight endless armies of clockwork! Defeat giant robots on the streets of Skyway! Drive off Penny's would-be boyfriend! All for 58 merits and a badge!
