Van Vat Tran is a fictional character in the Super Robot Wars series. He has appeared as an enemy character in the Super Robot Wars Original Generation series.
First appearing as a commander in the Divine Crusaders forces, Van Vat Tran would rise to power after the DC's destruction and the defeat of Adler Koch, becoming a unifying figure for the remainder of the DC's forces. By the events of Original Generation 2, he has managed to unify the DC Remnants under the banner of the Neo Divine Crusaders, declaring that they will be the ones to stop the threat of the Einst and the Inspectors, rather than the defense-focused EFA. Van is portrayed as a charismatic yet human commander, distrustful of Vindel Mauser and the Shadow-Mirrors even though he is forced to accept their aid. He allies with the EFA following its military coup by Graien Grassman in order to participate in Operation Plantagenet in an effort to drive off the Inspectors, and is one of the major casualties at the operation's climax. After the betrayal of the Shadow-Mirrors and Archibald Grimms, along with an attack by Mekibos of the Inspectors that greatly damages everyone at the battle, Van rams his battleship into the Inspectors in order to prevent them from destroying the Hagane, buying the time needed to fire the Tronium Cannon. Moments before his demise, he orders Yuuki Geghnan and Ricarla Borgnine to join the Hagane and Hiryu Kai's crew in protecting the Earth.
