The Code

1. The Helmet is Sacred:

1. Unity is our Shield:
   Every warrior stands as part of OLDGUARD’s aliit. No one is left behind.

1. Action is our Creed:
   A warrior is defined by their deeds, not their words. Courage is mandatory; cowardice is unacceptable.

1. The Stars are our Forge:
   Members strive to improve themselves, their skills, and their contributions to OLDGUARD.

1. Legacy is Eternal:
   Every action builds OLDGUARD’s reputation and ensures its place in the galaxy.

1. This is the Way:
   The Code binds us as warriors and guides us in every mission.

The Helmet

Official Helmet: The OLDGUARD Vanguard Helmet (Found in the Seraphim Station)

- Design: A helmet inspired by Mandalorian and military aesthetics, featuring a T-shaped visor and angular plates for an iconic, commanding look.
- Color Scheme: – Primary: Gunmetal gray (representing strength and resilience). – Secondary: Deep red accents (symbolizing loyalty and sacrifice). – Optional: Gold trim for high-ranking members.

Mandate:
The helmet must always be worn in public, signifying membership in OLDGUARD and adherence to the Code.

Consequences for Removal:
- Voluntary removal before outsiders results in exile or a trial to reclaim honor.
- Forced removal requires the warrior to reclaim their helmet or earn a replacement through a mission of redemption.
