EVE Vanguard is an FPS game that is connected to EVE Online and exists in the same world. Completing tasks in Vanguard will affect the world of New Eden as a whole. Players fight as foot soldiers of EVE factions, completing various objectives to advance their own faction in EVE Online.
Vanguard allows solo and squad play (3 players per squad). Player squads can fight each other or the NPCs, but completing map objectives is the priority.
