![]() Once Rendili's much more robust Dreadnought was released onto the market, there were no two identical ships of the Invulnerable class in the Republic Navy. While the ship's core elements were robust, the complexity of individual subsystems meant damaged sections often had to be stripped back to the spine and rebuilt from scratch. However, many of the components were substandard: half the drives were auxiliaries bolted on when the main system was revealed to be underpowered, and the innovative double-reactor proved temperamental and inefficient. A few centuries later, Vaufthau would try again with a clean sheet, bringing in Corellian engineers to design a smaller successor to the Invincible.Ĭlocking in at just over nine hundred metres, the Invulnerable-class heavy cruiser was built around a heavily reinforced and nigh-indestructible central spine, giving the vessel impressive durability in theory. While imposing and effective on their debut, they were underpowered, overcrewed and soon proved ineffective against smaller vessels and starfighters. Vaufthau Shipyards had collaborated with Rendili to produce the two-kilometer long Invincible-Class over three millenia before the Battle of Yavin. However, this practice was not exclusive to Rendili, nor were they the first to do it. Earlier than this, the dreadnought-class heavy cruiser of Katana-Fleet fame could trace its design lineage back to a scaled-down Mandalorian Kandosii warship. The separatist Providence-class cruisers, in which Rendili had a significant hand, was designed and offered in two drastically-different sizes. The practice of downsizing older ship designs was a familiar practice to the Galactic Republic, and in particular, Rendili Star Drives. ![]()
