The Invicta-class was designed by Fondor under the guidance of Allaina Mare to serve as a military command ship, leading the charge in Omega Pyre's war efforts. While the Jaeger-class Star Destroyer was designed to be the single response ship to which all crises could be handled, the Invicta is a ship-smasher. Designed to take on any type of standard Star Destroyer and win, even two at once, the hull uses an entirely new, sleek design, reducing target profile while maintaining much of the efficient firing arc design that the Star Destroyer series claimed fame for. This allows it to serve at the forefront of any battle line while living up to the Omega Pyre design principle of high quality over any quantity.
In terms of armament, the designers studied the efficient design of the Nebula-class Star Destroyer, uprated it with more modern electronics and technology then doubled it, given the sheer size of the vessel. It also has very durable shielding, able to withstand the vast majority of barrages to hold its own in a slugging match with other vessels. However, to compensate for the fact that while it doubled the length of a similar design, its power mandates not one but two reactors, drastically cutting down on predicted hangar, passenger and cargo space instead of being purely doubled. Instead, the Invicta was given over to being more of a battleship design that carries just under a wing of fighters in an emergency with no true ground support capability beyond dropships and shuttles, as well as orbital bombardment. It does however play home to Tempest Squadron, the elite Inimica-class heavy gunship squadron, which adds yet more credence to the destructive power projection of the Invicta.
Overall, this design sums up the basic principle of warfare to which many in Omega Pyre ascribe: destroy everything before it destroys you.
