The Invincible-class is built on the design principles of the centuries-old Dreadnaught heavy cruiser. Using blueprints and technical data retrieved from old starship manufacturing slipways discovered in the Orbital Ring around Rothana. The Directorate Engineering team has studied the original IFW design after its Rothan yards were taken over by The Directorate and Mon Calamari Shipyards.
Designed to take a beating, the Invincible-class stands up to its predecessor by being built strong from the frame out. Triple braced struts make up the skeleton. These ferrocarbon beams are triple braced with quadranium steel and the entire frame is wrapped in a faraday cage meshwork made of agrinium. a new armor system that utilizes both reactive and ablative armor technology gives the vessel very formidable defense from enemy fire.
Large weapons blisters amidships, house most of the offensive weaponry of the vessel. These blisters house fourteen quad mounted turbolaser turrets and six quad mounted long-range turbolaser turrets giving the class both long and standard range engagement capabilities. dedicated capacitor banks and capacitor overchargers feed the weapons a constant flow of energy from the reactor and the reserve capacitor system. in case of emergency, the weapons can be fired blind to drain the reserve capacitors when needed. Six Assault Missile batteries are located in the prow of the ship. these retractable launching systems can safely stay inside their armored hubs until loaded then deploy and fire their payloads. Four hexlasers and four CIWS give the ships some minimal anti-fighter and anti-projectile defense.
A very small hanger is located on the ventral hull amidships which can hold and maintain one squadron of attack craft and one squadron of support craft. The egress of this change is small and can only allow one craft at a time to exit or enter. This slows the vessel deployment time for attack craft but makes targeting the hanger very difficult.
A standard suite of sensors and targeting systems track and identify targets and feed them to the vessels targeting computers. Standard communications systems keep the ship in touch with its allies and can communicate at long ranges with holographic, visual and audio communications. A large proton 8 reactor is positioned amidships which feed the massive appetite of the weapons, systems, shielding, and engines of the vessel.
