The mass of the ''Invader'' is usually given as 152,000 tons, but older sources (AstroTech) gave 145,000 tons with identical stats otherwise.

For example, in addition to the cargo errors noted above, older sources sometimes listed the ship at 145,000 tons with identical stats otherwise. The tonnage of the ship was likely increased in later rulesets to keep it rules-compliant. − − The ''Invader's'' hydroponics domes are not listed as a discrete component, but it can perhaps be assumed that they are integral to the vessel's overall structure. − − The ''Invader'' was stated as being able to carry somewhere between 1000 (with 1 cargo door),<ref name=BSs52/> and 522-526 tons of cargo in the cargo section, depending on the weapon configuration. However, this is inaccurate under the current construction rules, which leave the ''Invader'' with only about 40 tons of dedicated cargo. This discrepancy may be viewed as a legacy error from earlier rulesets when JumpShip construction rules were not yet fully fleshed out, if at all. − − ==Notes== − * In German products, the unit's proper name was translated to the Latin loan word '''''Invasor'''''. − − ==See Also== − * [[:Category:Individual Invader-class JumpShips]] − − ==Gallery== <gallery> <gallery> − Invader.png|Original ''Invader'' from ''[[DropShips and JumpShips]]'' + Image:Invader.png − Invader_floorplants.jpg|Internal design of ''Invader'' from ''DropShips and JumpShips''+ Image:Color-jumpship2.png − Invader JS TRO3057r.png|''Invader'' from ''[[Technical Readout: 3057|TRO:3057]]'' − Invader cutaway color SO.png|Cutaway of the ''Invader'' from ''[[Strategic Operations]]'' − Invader JS TBT.jpg|''Invader'' being defended by a ''[[Union]]''-class ''[[Dropship]]'' from ''[[Sabutai]]'' and ''[[Jengiz]]'' [[aerospace fighters]] from ''[[The Black Thorns]]'' − Invader JS BattleSpace.jpg|''Invader'' with three ''Union''-class Dropships from ''[[BattleSpace]]'' </gallery> </gallery> ==References== ==References== + *''[[Technical Readout 3057]]'', pp. 98-99 + *''[[Technical Readout: 3057 Revised]]'', 96-97 + *''[[BattleSpace]] rulebook'', p. 52 + *''[[Mercenary's Handbook 3055]]'', p. 23 + *''[[AeroTech]] rulebook'', p. 60 <references/> <references/> − ==Bibliography==+ [[Category:JumpShips]] − * ''[[AeroTech]]'' − * ''[[AeroTech 2 Record Sheets]]'' − * ''[[BattleSpace]] − * ''[[DropShips and JumpShips]]'' − * ''[[Handbook: House Davion]]'' − * ''[[Handbook: House Kurita]]'' − * ''[[Mercenary's Handbook 3055]]'' − * ''[[Mercenaries Supplemental]]'' − * ''[[Objectives: Draconis Combine]]'' − * ''[[Objectives: Federated Suns]]'' − * ''[[Technical Readout 3057]]'' − * ''[[Technical Readout: 3057 Revised]]'' − − − [[Category:JumpShip classes|Invader]] − [[Category:German renamed units]]
