He was placed in command of Project: Starjump, which was the first manned exploratory mission to the Centauri star system. Vance was placed in suspended animation for the long journey and awakened in the year 3007 when his ship, the Odysseus I, arrived on Centauri IV. Astro met the human colonists already living on the planet by that time, as well as a native named Yondu Udonta. The conquering alien species known as the Badoon invaded Centauri IV, causing widespread destruction. Astro and Yondu escaped and met up with other interstellar expatriates, who were likewise victimized by Badoon occupation. This group banded together, with Vance Astro as their leader, and called themselves the Guardians of the Galaxy. They succeeded in liberating the planet Earth from the Badoon, and continued on to other worlds facing various cosmic threats in the name of freedom. During his time with the Guardian of the Galaxy, Vance took on the code-name, Major Victory.
