The Invisible Hand, shortened to the Hand is a modified Providence-class dreadnaught and the flagship of Grievous Hero. Grievous used it during the Clone Wars, during late skirmishes as his main flagship.
Characteristics[]
Manufactured and Weapons[]
The Invisible Hand was manufactured by Quarren exiles from the Mon Calamari world of Dac as part of the Free Dac Volunteers Engineering Corps along with Pammant Docks at an underground factory on Pammant.
While lacking the Malevolence's sheer firepower and armor, the ship was covered with powerful weapon emplacements, including Quad turbolaser turrets, Dual Laser Cannons, Ion Cannons, Point-defense Ion Cannons, proton torpedo tubes and Flak cannons. Each shot from the point-defense ion cannons releases as much heat as a 4.8 megaton bomb, while the maximum yield of one of the quad turbolasers is equivalent to a magnitude 10 groundquake. The Invisible Hand also has a Boarding Chute so they can board other warships such as Venator-class Star Destroyers.
Bridge[]
The Invisible Hand's Bridge was located in the front just like Munificent-class star frigates and Recusant-class light destroyers. The Invisible Hand's Bridge set-up was different than a regular Providence-class carrier/destroyer. It had 17 control pads for 17 OOM Pilot Droids to control. On the top section, 6 OOM Pilot Droids stationed on each side of the chair, middle section, 8 OOM Pilots on each side, and the bottom section, 3 OOM Pilots in the front controlling the Invisible Hand. This made the Invisible Hand's bridge more easy to move around at the bottom section without all of the chairs like a regular Providence-class carrier/destroyer.
Complement[]
The Invisible Hand's complement was the same as any other Providence-class carrier/destroyer. It carries 120 Vulture Droids, 120 Droid Tri-Fighters, 10-30 Hyena-class bombers, 8 C-9979 Landing Crafts and Sheathipede-class transport shuttles, 160 Multi-Troop Transports, and 280 Droid Tanks. The hangar bay, Bay One, was expanded to fit more droids, tanks, and Droid Fighter Clips for Droid Fighters.
Modifications to the 2nd Bridge[]
The Invisible Hand's 2nd Control Bridge was actually Count Dooku's Wizard's Tower. The Wizard's Tower didn't have OOM Security Battle Droids manning it. It had a General's Quarters and more of a viewport than a 2nd Control Bridge. Though the Wizard's Tower did have elite B2 Super Battle Droids guarding it.
