An exact number is never given, but it is very large. they are nearly Omnipresent in the 'Burbs, having infiltrated every layer thereof
it can't be that large as per books .. Dog packs roam the burbs .. Hunting for the supernatural as well as mages..
So if that's true then the "large" formula would not be feasible as they would get culled all the time by dog packs alone..
As per the books, it is pretty large.

The Vanguard is mentioned in multiple books? I was under the impression that it was just one.

I stand (probably) corrected. It might have been in more than one book, but I probably should have said, "the book."

4 miles is pretty decent. Do we ever learn the stats of the firing platforms used to propel those things? Presumably bigger than a normal LRM launcher would be needed...
Makes me wonder if Psi-Techs in the CS would be used to tweak the range on them (not sure if that could enhance radius) and EOD Specialists (next best thing to Grimaldi, the super-unique Safe-Cracker) to boost the damage.

They are modern tomahawk missiles the CS improved upon. but they use a 2-stage detachable rocket booster to increase range, so they are incompatible with normal LRM launch platforms and they had to build their own specially designed shipboard launchers, also discribed in the book.
