The Invader-class Invidious was a JumpShip serving with the Gray Death Legion.[See Notes]

History[edit]

Free trader Renfred Tor had passed away by April 3056, leaving his daughter Katrina to inherit the family business and the old Merchant-class Invidious.[1] Katrina Tor briefly continued to serve the Gray Death Legion until at least April 3056,[2] but "a year or two" before December 3058 she and the original Invidious parted ways with the Gray Death Legion.[3] 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.[4] It is possible that Katrina Tor parted ways with the Legion at Borghese, and that the other Invidious was hired there as a replacement.[5]

The Invader-class Invidious was initially captained by Sean Marcq Clerkin.[6] By 3065 it was under the command of Captain Hester Murad.

On 28 June 3065, the ship came under fire from the 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.[7]

Notes[edit]

^ It should not be confused with Renfred Tor's original Merchant-class vessel of the same name that famously worked with Grayson Carlyle since 3024 and throughout the Verthandi campaign, and which was apparently replaced by the Invader-class Invidious in the unit's roster around 3056.
