| The [[Cotelin-class Star Destroyer]] ''Justice'' is the pride of the Taldryan fleet, and one of only two such vessels known to be in existence.

Commanded by Admiral [[Chaf'arha'nuruodo]], this ship also serves as Taldryan's [[starwars:Flagship|Flagship]], and is the operations base for High Admiral [[Tak Vordin]]. | | The [[Cotelin-class Star Destroyer]] ''Justice'' is the pride of the Taldryan fleet, and one of only two such vessels known to be in existence.

- ―Victory has chosen us -- Battle Group I's Motto
Battle Group I, nicknamed Vanguard is the first and primary Battle Group in Taldryan's Navy. Commanded by Admiral Chaf'arha'nuruodo, it consists of multiple warships and support vessels, and is part of the Taldryan Expansionary Force.
Mission
Taldryan's Battle Group I, nicknamed Vanguard, consists of the most deadly and destructive forces that Taldryan's Navy can bring to bear in battle. Contained within it are the ships dedicated to serving a single purpose, to wreak havoc and destruction upon enemy forces. Vanguard is as it's name suggests, the tip of Taldryan's spear when entering into battle, capable of bullying it's way into any opposing system or enemy force, and dealing wholesale destruction. As such, it is outfitted with the finest strongest ships in the Taldryan Navy, as well as the most advanced and formidable starfighters in Taldryan's Starfighter Command.
Command Structure
As a fully functional Battle Group, Vanguard has a strict command structure that it adheres to at all times. Operational command of the Battle Group falls to Battle Group Commander Admiral Chaf'arha'nuruodo, who commands from the Taldryan flagship Justice. The Battle Group Executive Officer is Rear Admiral Shalla Arundel, aboard the Dark Prophet II.
Aboard each individual ship, the captain of the ship is lord and commander, there is no higher authority for onboard personnel than the captain of the vessel. Attached Squadrons will report to a Wing Commander if applicable, who will then report to the captain for orders.
In times of joint Battle Group operations, Battle Group I, and the CSD Justice are where High Admiral Tak Vordin keeps his flag, transforming it into the command vessel for the entire Taldryan Navy. Admiral Chaf'arha'nuruodo maintains direct control of the forces within Battle Group I, but follows the orders of the High Admiral.
