The Vanguard #2

The purpose of Thenurion's solo mission in The Vanguard #1 is revealed, as he uses information learned on that mission to lead the Vanguard in pursuit of slave traders kidnapping colonists along the frontier of the Galactic Union. But the slavers don't just roll over upon the Vanguard's appearance, and battle ensues...

It is the 24th century, and Earth is part of an interstellar republic called the Galactic Union of Planets. The greatest defenders of this interstellar alliance are the Vanguard, a team of powerful, near-immortal heroes who deal with the galaxy's greatest threats to life and liberty, and explore the universe's greatest wonders.
