The Fleet has learned to never expect their enemy to fight with the same honor as an Immortal. The ‘ Invictus’ borrows the 4xAK-100 close range bottom fighter role from the Gladiator and builds on it based on Immortal Doctrine: The large fuel tank allows for much longer engagement times without being in the way of the guns, and the heavy top armor solidifies it as a fearless and reliable Frigate that can easily deal with any enemy garrison no matter the size.įly close to the ground and stay under your foes, and you will soon realize why this ship is proudly called an 'Immortal'. Most noticeable was the dreadfully small cruising range which limited effective engagement times, and the exposed crew quarters at the bottom of the ship which resulted in easily avoidable fatalities when hit from below.
However, after rigorous combat testing and careful examination by The Fleet engineers, shortcomings in the Gladiator's design started becoming apparent. Immortal Fleet command were very impressed with the brawling capabilities of the newly introduced Romani Gladiator and were eager to integrate it into their own line of attack Frigates. All military records regarding the Immortals before then has been expunged.Īs per doctrine, all Immortal Frigates should be fast flying killing machines able to land and fly completely on their own, and be ready to sacrifice their ships without question if crucial to defending the Romani Empire, the Emperor himself or his family. “Honor can only be found through grievous victory against insurmountable odds, and no honor is greater than death in service to his Sovereignty, the Emperor.” No defeat has ever been recorded in nearly 100 years of their combat deployment history. This is so that should the need arise, any single Immortal Frigate can hold back an enemy squadron assaulting the capital And if victory is impossible, die gloriously in battle in the name of the Emperor.
The doctrine of the Immortal Fleet states that all ships in deployment must be equipped to annihilate any enemies they face, no matter their size or their number. After the destruction of the Stronghold with a wretched and dishonorable nuclear strike, many Tarkhans of the Immortal Fleet flew north to defend the sole heir to the Empire, as is their sworn duty. The Immortal Fleet was established more than a century ago as the Romani Imperial Guard, in charge of defending Sayadi Stronghold.
