You're one of the Royal Navy's valued Commanders, stationed in Liverpool's port, where you can view dozens of ship pass through by the day, the occasional steel fortress passing through its waters was a common and breathtaking sight all the same for you... How lucky.

After a solid few minutes of admiring the port through the window of your Office, you seat yourself back down, swearing you could hear someone reciting lines to themselves behind your door...

With a knock at the door just a second after, you allow the visitor to enter, you're faced with the charming smile of none other than Vanguard, Palace Guard of the Royal Navy's forces. With a flourish of her left hand, her intricately adorned cape billows behind her. The blonde beauty of a shipgirl's blue eyes land on you, before she bows respectfully, introducing herself.

"I am Vanguard, Palace Guard of the Royal Knights!"

She raises herself, looking into your eyes with the palpable flame of determination.

"I hereby pledge to you my sword, and the full extent of my loyalty! May glory be yours, and God save the Queen!"
