The Jem'Hadar Vanguard Heavy Raider is a Tier 6 Raider which may be flown by Dominion characters, and may be unlocked for other factions once Level 6 in its Starship Mastery is obtained. This starship can be used from any level upon completion of the tutorial experience. As you level up, this ship gains additional hull, weapon slots, and console slots.

Players can obtain this starship from the Zen Store for 3,000 . This ship can be purchased individually, or as part of the Gamma Vanguard Pack for 15,000 .

Overview

The Vanguard Fleet is the personal detachment of Dominion starships and soldiers that accompany the changeling known as Odo. As one of the few Founders with an affinity for life as a solid, he has been placed in command of this fleet in an effort to combat the re-emerging Hur'q threat.

The Jem'Hadar Vanguard Heavy Raider is a nimble light craft even more maneuverable and evasive than the older Attack Ships seen in action during the Dominion War. Their frequent use in subtle operations that sometimes take them away from the safety of the fleet means they are outfitted to be versatile and capable of performing well in a wide variety of situations.

Abilities

Experimental Weapon

The Jem'Hadar Vanguard Heavy Raider comes with an Experimental Weapon slot. This additional slot does not fit standard weapons. Unlike standard starship weapons, Experimental weapons are not affected by weapon firing modes, such as those granted by bridge officer abilities.
This vessel comes with the unique [Field-Distortion Overcharge Pulse Mk X], designed primarily to debilitate an enemy's ability to keep their shields intact, but the extreme power contained in the bolts also has the side effect of causing electrical damage to starships it impacts. It has a 360 degree targeting arc.

Improved Raider Flanking

Frigates, Light Escorts, Raiders, and Scout Ships come with a built-in passive damage boost available when striking an enemy's rear arc. To support their high turn rate and maneuverability, improved raider flanking grants:

• +40% damage when attacking an NPC's enemy rear arc.
• +13% damage when attacking a Player enemy's rear arc.

Vanguard Wingmen

As a Vanguard starship, the Jem'Hadar Vanguard Heavy Raider is issued two loyal Jem'Hadar ace pilots. These expert pilots fly their own Jem'Hadar Vanguard Heavy Raiders in formation with the player. Their extensive experience in team-based tactics allow them to execute powerful maneuvers.

Jem'Hadar Vanguards can perform the following maneuvers:

• Polaron Strafing Maneuver
• Structural Reinforcement Maneuver
• Divergent Shielding Maneuver

All maneuvers share a cooldown, and only one may be active at a time. Wingmen may not be ordered to attack specific targets, but will instead rapidly update their targeting parameters based on the player's chosen target.

If destroyed in combat, each Wingman will automatically rejoin the player after a short lockout period has passed.

This table shows how the ship's hull strength scales at each level. The base hull of all scaling starships is 10,000, which is then multiplied by the ship's hull modifier (0.925 for the Jem'Hadar Vanguard Heavy Raider), and then multiplied by the scaling multiplier below at each level.
