The Vanguard (Destiny)

We certainly seem to be set up as Commandos at minimum. The city desperately needs intel in order to plan mankind's return. Where are the enemy? How many? What are their military capabilities? Is their strength waning or waxing?

Also, where are resources that can be exploited by the city to fuel the war machine? Are there other allies out there?

If you have ever read the Warhammer 40k backstory, there is a point where Mankind's interstellar empire is laid low by a combination of cybernetic revolt and total and sudden loss of interstellar travel. The forces of Earth manage over many centuries to rebuild a giant fleet and send it out to reunite everyone, and at one point meet another force that is doing the same thing. They even have the same propaganda! Of course, this being 40k, they immediately go to war with one another.

I'm hoping any allies we find won't be so trigger happy.
