The Indomitable was a war starship of the Roxolan Empire powered by the hyperdrive and possessing an anti-gravity drive for landings and take-offs. It was large enough to carry at least several companies of foot and perhaps big enough for a full regiment. It also had muzzle loading cannons and could launch a number of anti-gravity flyers for air support.[1]

The Indomitable took part in the invasion of Earth, only to be damaged and captured by humans in the skirmish at UCLA in 2039.[2] One of the vessel's commanders of foot, Captain Togram, reflected bitterly that the name had been disproved.
