History

Shortly before the Battle of Coruscant, the Invisible Hand's main communications and sensor pod was refitted as a lofty sanctum for Count Dooku, the head of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Sith cunning and Jedi wisdom make Count Dooku appear like a simple and saintly leader and is called "Gentle Hand" by primitive folk on remote worlds. From the communications tower, Dooku transmits Separatist propaganda throughout the galaxy. If the evil Separatist leader had not been stopped, he would have broadcast the holo-image of the captive Supreme Chancellor Palpatine around the galaxy to crush Republic morale.

Under the command of General Grievous, Invisible Hand has played a key role in most of the Separatist cyborg's raids into the Galactic Core. These include the release of the Loedorvian Brain Plague that killed entire Republic Clone armies and almost every human in the Weemell Sector. The Invisible Hand also terrorized 26 important Loyalist worlds including the hour-long orbital bombardment that depopulated and melted the crust of the former city world Humbarine, an ancient founding member of the Republic.

The Invisible Hand about to engage Guarlara

When Palpatine was captured by Count Dooku and the General, the Battle of Coruscant had started and it was up to Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker to rescue him. The two Jedi managed to land in the main hangar bay and make their way to the Chancellor's signal. Anakin then defeated Dooku and saved Palpatine right when the ship was engaged by the Venator-class Star Destroyer Guarlara, starting a confrontation in which both ships were critically damaged. A lucky shot from the Guarlara started a chain reaction in the Invisible Hand's point-defense cannon bays that almost destroyed the ship. Weakened, the cruiser began to plummet toward's Coruscant. Eventually the crew managed to regain control of the ship preventing a deadly crash. Once the ship was stabilized, Ray shields captured Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Palpatine. The trio was brought to the main cockpit to the awaiting General but the Jedi freed themselves with the help of R2-D2 and engaged Grevious. Outnumbered, the General fled by smashing the protective windshield then making his way to the escape pods. Grevious managed to jettison all the pods leaving the Jedi stranded. At this point the crew began escaping leaving no-one in control of the ship. Anakin then took control of the ship, making a steady re-entry into Coruscant but the damage sustained from the battle with Guarlara caused the cruiser to break into two large chunks in the atmosphere. Anakin was able to crash land the front half of the ship on a landing strip with Obi-Wan Kenobi exclaiming, "Another happy landing". Image File history File links Invisible_Hand_Enagaged. ...
