*UPDATE 8/11/26: Added Magnetic Holster Support, this is not required there is no dependency and will work fine if you do not have it. I will be working on updating all of my older creations that are currently in two versions to add Magnetic Holster support without a dependency, I will leave the old stand-alone Magnetic Holster Versions for those who have already installed them and will add an "Outdated" tag to the titles. It is safe to update this creation with the items in your inventory. I have tested this, it is the exact same creation with added holster capabilities for those who own Magnetic Weapon Holsters by firew4ll. Make sure to choose "current" when loading after update.

Everyone knows CJ, the cool cat that runs CJ's convenience store in downtown New Atlantis, but did you know that he used to serve in the UC Vanguard? No surprise if you said no. He rarely talks about his time as a Vanguard Officer, but he does keep an old military footlocker behind the counter that holds some of his old gear. In this chest you will find a Vanguard Katana, not only is it a super cool Vanguard themed sword, it also is made with ultra lightweight material; something the swordmaster that made it called "Mithril". Whatever it is, it looks awesome and is as light as a feather and allows for quick strikes not experienced when wielding other swords. Along with the sword you will also find a one of-a-kind Vanguard Officers Hat. This is the old style of hat that used to be issued to Vanguard Officers after swearing the oath; back when they actually issued a uniform (before someone decided that Commander Tuala is the only Officer in the entire Vanguard who should get one) . Along with the hat and katana is a vanilla Vanguard Officers Uniform that has some extra modifications added.

I hope you enjoy these and I would love to hear what you think!

Check out all of my other creations if you haven't done so already, there is more on the way, so stay tuned!
