The ''[[Invader]]''-class '''''Invidious''''' was a [[JumpShip]] serving with the [[Gray Death Legion]].
  
==History==
+
It should not be confused with [[Renfred Tor]]'s original ''[[Merchant]]''-class [[Invidious (Individual Merchant-class JumpShip)|vessel of the same name]] that famously worked with [[Grayson Carlyle]] since [[3024]] and throughout the [[Mercenary's Star (novel)|Verthandi campaign]], and which was apparently replaced by the ''Invader''-class ''Invidious'' in the unit's roster around [[3056]].
Free trader [[Renfred Tor]] had passed away by April 3056, leaving his daughter [[Katrina Tor|Katrina]] to inherit the family business and the old ''Merchant''-class ''Invidious''.<ref>''Blood of Heroes'', p. 71</ref> Katrina Tor briefly continued to serve the Gray Death Legion until at least April 3056,<ref>''Blood of Heroes'', pp. 71–72</ref> but "a year or two" before December [[3058]] she and the original ''Invidious'' parted ways with the Gray Death Legion.<ref>''Operation Excalibur'', p. 278</ref> Between [[3055]] and April [[3056]] the Legion obtained an ''Invader''-class JumpShip they named ''Invidious''. This vessel brought Major [[Hassan Ali Khaled]]'s battalion from their posting at [[Borghese]] back to [[Glengarry]] to relieve the besieged Legion on 26 September 3056.<ref>''Day of Heroes'', p. 87</ref> It is possible that Katrina Tor parted ways with the Legion at Borghese, and that the other ''Invidious'' was hired there as a replacement.<ref>Only the ''Merchant''-class ''Invidious'' is listed on the Gray Death Legion's TO&E in ''Mercenary's Handbook 3055'', p. 57, but both it (under Katrina Tor) and another, ''Invader''-class ''Invidious'' serve with the Legion during the [[Second Skye Rebellion]] in April 3056 according to the novel ''Blood of Heroes''. The scenario pack ''Day of Heroes'' only lists the ''Invader''-class vessel in the unit's roster at the time of the Second Skye Rebellion.</ref>

On 28 June 3065, the ship came under fire from the ''[[Avalon]]''-class [[WarShip]] ''[[Simon Davion (Individual Avalon-class WarShip)|Simon Davion]]'' at the [[Hesperus]] system's zenith [[jump point]] and suffered crippling damage (right after the ''Simon Davion'' had crippled the civilian JumpShip ''[[Carolyn]]''). Captain Murad reported that she had ordered the ''Invidious'' abandoned and scuttled.<ref name="TDTp102">''The Dying Time'', p. 102: "Chapter 13"</ref>
