Revision as of 21:07, 1 November 2021
The Invictus is ancient , legendary, derelict Imperial military jump ship. It became central to Phara Keaen's plans of vengeance against the Galactic Empire.
General Information
The Invictus was considered to be the "crown jewel of Emperor Taurelian's fleet" circa seven hundred years before 12,102 Era Imperial. It was said to be the most powerful Imperial weapons platform of the era.[1]
History
Becoming a ghost ship
Seven hundred years ago, the crew somehow lost control of the ship's propulsion systems, leading the ship to sporadically jump at random. Since the ship could reach limitless distances instantaneously, the ship and the crew ended far beyond communications range with Imperial forces. Soon, supplies ran out and in desperation the crew turned on and killed one another, After the crew killed themselves off, the ship continued its random jumps to random places, giving rise to a "ghost ship" legend.[1]
Anacreon Rediscovery
The ship was discovered adrift by the Anacreons who wished to salvage the ship to launch a strike on Trantor and "bring the Galactic Empire to its knees" gaining revenge for the neutron bomb bombardment of their homeworld, by using the ship to wreak a similar fate upon the throne-world. Previous attempts to board and salvage the ship failed due to the Invictus still having active defense systems which destroyed several Anacreon corvettes.[1]
Quickly formulating a new strategy, the Anacreons, led personally by Phara Keaen, its Grand Huntress, took over the Foundation's colony on Terminus for the sole purpose of gaining the expertise from the Foundation's scientists. The Anacreon people lacked the knowledge to recover and refurbish the ship, so Phara Keaen assembled a group of experts from among the populace consisting of astronautic specialist and Foundation director Lewis Pirenne, propulsion expert Akiva Lee, and chief environmental engineer Jacenta Rov. Salvor Hardin and Hugo were brought along to fly the Beggar ship. As part of their plan to salvage the ship the Anacreons also lured a contemporary Imperial jump ship, the Aegis, to Terminus in an effort to capture a senior Imperial officer. Commander Kray Dorwin was taken prisoner in order to gain access to the nanorobotic biometrics within his body which would in turn allow the Anacreons access to any Imperial ship, including the Invictus.[1]
Technology
Its archaic propulsion systems included an older model jump drive that necessitated being maintained by liquid coolant, unlike contemporary jump ships. In terms of weaponry, Invictus' outer point defense systems consisted at least partially of railguns. It also is described as having other unspecified weaponry capable of planetary-scale destruction.[1]
