Description/Overview:
The Invincible class of battlecruiser was the second omni-hull warship of VonStalin's new space navy. Conceived of during the Outer Sphere War, the Invincible used nearly all of the same systems as the Victorious class Battle Destroyer, but it had thicker armor, a more powerful maw gun, and did not have the array of four-shot anti-ship cruise missile silos. Like the Victorious class the Invincible was a very successful design, mostly due to its interchangeability with the Victorious and Slava II class ships, as well as the Kirov and Glorious classes though to a lesser extent.
