The concept of this SG came on a whim after being asked to come back to CoH. A classic themed SG with a modern, techno twist, dedicated to global threats over minor ones. It was influenced a lot by the like of The Avengers (Size, style, Focus), Justice League (Style), and SHIELD (Focus). We wanted a small, intimate group with an ability to roleplay and respect for the classics.
The Vigilants are an enclosed organization dedicated to the safeguarding of Earth and its inhabitants against intergalactic and interdimensional threats. Their focus is primarily on alien and otherworldly beings, though, they still take the time to deal with more localized threats out of a sense of duty.

Origins
The creation of The Vigilants came about thanks to a single girl known as Galvanized Gal. Having been contacted and given a gift by an extragalactic being known as The Entity, she set about a task he had given her. Her task was to form a supergroup based on technology and science and gather like minded extraordinary individuals to help safeguard the planet against alien and otherworldly threats. But more importantly, to prepare the planet for an eventual and possible future invasion that could very well change Earth forever.

-A life is a life, regardless of the side it stands on. All life is precious, and we seek to preserve and save as much of it as possible. Even villains and those who do wrong can be rehabilitated, redeemed, and turned into a beacon of honor, justice, duty, and truth.
The Bastion
The Bastion is a modular, orbital space station designed so each section can be shifted independently, allowing for critical sections of the station to be moved to a more protected location during times of crisis. Powered by a crystal similar to the one Galvanized Gal utilizes with her suit, it is capable of powering a state of the art security system, cloaking device, life support, numerous observation and communication devices, mobility, and defensive weaponry systems.
The Bastion is currently undergoing construction, slowly expanding each day as new modular sections are built and attached to the main station.
It's current location is current classified.
The Bastion Plans
Being a modular space station, the Bastion is capable of shifting modules (rooms) to new positions. Each configuration is labeled as a plan. As the Vigilants gain more funding, more plans will be set in place.

-Our one requirement is that you have at least one classic-styled costume. Any Golden or Silver Aged costume, with modern touches is acceptable.

-To make for more intimate and inclusive roleplay, our group is to be capped at about twenty members. Some exceptions may be made in extreme cases.
- Ranks and Roles
-Ranks and Roles will be determined on a mix of activity, roleplay, and prestige. Though ranks will mean little beyond recruitment and certain permissions, roles will be judged based on characters and how well their concepts fulfill them.
- True Heroes
-Our group is more for true hero types. Heroes like Statesman, Superman, and Captain America. We do, however, accept vigilantes, so long as they have a moral code in line with the Vigilants.
