Vanguard Colony
Facts
- One of six O'Neill-style asteroid colonies located in orbit of the L5 Sol-Earth Lagrangian from 2031 to 2058 (TLE Novel: The Sundered)
- Carved out of center of asteroid fragment
- Inhabitants: Human
- Population

History
- 2031: Asteroid fragment migrated to L5 Lagrangian following deflection from Earth collision course; Vanguard Colony constructed within following drilling operations, installation of rotational thrusters (TLE Novel: The Sundered)
- Vanguard Colony one of many sources for various materials only able to be produced in long-term microgravity processes (TLE Novel: The Sundered)
- Genetically engineered pharmaceuticals and crops (TLE Novel: The Sundered)
- Ultrastrong nanotube construction materials (TLE Novel: The Sundered)
