Legend

this capital ship measured 2,011 meters in length, and was first built over 3,000 years before the Galactic Civil War by the Rendili/Vaufthau Shipyards, Limited, corporation. They were designed to resemble the ancient Alsakan warships used in the Alsakan Conflicts, with design points taken from the huge starships of Xim the Despot. The Invincible-class was one of the Old Republic's largest ships, but space combat technology began moving toward smaller platforms. The huge ships were soon discontinued, decommissioned, and sold off. The Corporate Sector Authority was able to obtain a number of them on the open market, since they were cheap, available, and effective. The Invincible-class Dreadnaught was manpower-intensive, though, requiring 23,614 crewers and 114 gunners. It could transport up to 6,000 troops, and was armed with 30 quad-laser cannons, 12 turbolaser cannons, 6 tractor beam projectors, and 6 concussion missile tubes.
