- The Custodis Vita: This Custodis group earned their name because they preserve the history of the Invictus and it's members. Anything of merit is written down by them.

- The Custodis Belua: The Custodis Belua have a purpose known only to the Veritas and higher ranked officers of the Invictus. Rumors say that they conduct experiments on members of the Invictus in order to make super-soldiers, others say that they are in charge of keeping a monster, or several, locked up and under control until use in combat.

Other Branches:


Research and Development: Ran by Dr. Sonia Hughes, the Invictus R&D branch finds themselves responsible for providing the Invictus with weapons, armor, medicine, and other gear. Being independent from governments, Invictus R&D funds their own scientific expeditions to bring to the larger scientific community.

The Enforcers: An Invictus branch made of the most sturdy members of the group. The Enforcers are usually in charge of security and operate using the structure of western street gangs mixed with the structures of organized crime gangs. They are headed proudly and handpicked by Mary Munroe.

The Pack: An elite team of shapeshifting soldiers who are known for their brutal efficiency and ability to hunt down even the most elusive of men and women. They are usually tasked with security and covert assaults. They are the Invictus equivalent of a black operations team.

Team Ripper: Made up of entirely members of the Invictus' Custodis Benevolentia, Team Ripper oversees and assists Anodyne in all of her duties as a member of the Invictus and now as a member of the Terran Militia.

Thousand Mountain Records: A music company owned by the Invictus in order to give members of the Invictus and other talented individuals a chance at a peaceful life. The company doesn't specialize in one or few genres of music, they are known for encouraging the melding of each.

Uniform And Colors: The Invictus do not have one uniform, allowing each of their members to wear whatever makes them more comfortable or effective in and out of combat situations. In order to identify each other they often sport the colors red and black or orange and black as well as the Invictus logo. Members who aren't fans of those colors sport their own with a modified Invictus logo matching their preferred colors.

Despite this, members of the Invictus are still given the option of wearing a standard operations uniform which usually consists of black fatigues or a black jumpsuits, a combat vest, and sometimes body armor.

Members of the Invictus are also encouraged to don personal patches and insignia on their uniforms and clothing. The patches and insignia are meant to showcase different things about members. Including their religion, likes, specialties, or specific branch within the organization.

Weapons:


The weapons used by the Invictus are varied as they tend to purchase weapons or trade them for services. They range from assault rifles and shotguns, to swords and explosives. Energy weapons are finding themselves to become more common among the Invictus, ICON-made weapons are also increasing in popularity among their more firearm loving members.

Developing their own weapons has become a steady process, mostly due to the need for many unconventional weapons in their line of work that aren't suited for battlefields. Specializing in guerrilla warfare, the Invictus have different needs that only they can fulfill militarily.

Ground Combat Vehicles (All Heavily Modified):


- IAV Stryker. (100 in use)
- Leopard 2. (100 in use)
- GTK Boxer. (115 in use)
- VAB. (230 in use)
- VBCI. (210 in use)
- Antonov An-225 Mriya. (156 in use)
- Antonov An-124 Ruslan. (130 in use)
- Lockheed C-5 Galaxy. (150 owned, 120 in use)

- Titan-class Gunship. (200 owned, 175 in use)
- Lucien-class Gunship. (170 owned, 165 in use)

Various smaller or personal ships in use. Numbered in the thousands.

Spacecraft Weaponry


Invictus weaponry on spacecrafts is very basic and straightforward. Turrets, missiles, directed energy weapons, and advanced shielding for space combat and elements. Kinetic rounds fired from Invictus craft is made from several metals and other more rare elements to form a new, extremely strong, alloy. Materials identified as being used to create the shells and rounds include tungsten, aggregated hyperdiamond, steel, and iron.

Invictus spacecraft make use of several forms of shielding at once to maximize protection from energy and magic based weapon, something the scientists within the Invictus called Aegis. Official name is unknown. Listed below are the more innovative, and destructive, of the weapons in use by the Invictus.

- The Hose: The Hose is an energy based weapon located on all Invictus spacecraft in various sizes, resulting in various amounts of damage according to size and ship. It earned it's name for being a directed beam of energy that can be fired at an enemy and sustained for long periods of time dependent on power available in the ship. The energy can also be fired like a projectile. It's goal is too completely overload or bypass shielding, cutting through an enemy craft's hull like butter. It's effects on land and buildings is more devastating than on ships.

- Gravity Well: A gravity well projector is an apparatus used to create interdiction fields. By simulating the gravity shadow of a planet or other celestial body, often called a gravity well, a ship's travel through hyperspace could be halted or their jump to hyperspace could be rendered impossible within the simulated gravity shadow. These generally large gravity well generators were most often used to counteract hit-and-run tactics and pin outmaneuvered or outnumbered enemies in place.

The Invictus make their way into the bar numbering in at twelve, they were dressed in their identifying colours of red and black, were armed with Automatic Kalishnikov fourty-sevens, and wore flak jackets made of an unknown and unusually strong alloy. They would proceed to an empty table and sit, conversating about whatever.

The Invictus would stand up at the sound of a vehicle approaching the bar, once it stopped they looked to each other and then to the door. Soon the sounds of the vehicle's doors opening and closing followed by footsteps could be heard, many footsteps at that.

The Invictus would make their way into the bar, they numbered in at thirteen and were dressed in red and black biker-style clothing which bore the Invictus logo more than three times on some on all of their clothing. The head of the pack was a woman with a mohawk, a Beretta .45 on her hip, and a baseball slung so that it rested on her back. Needless to say, she was tough, though the her body size was average at most. People would be able to tell that she was far stronger than she looked, and the depth of her strength went beyond human nature. "Let's go." She said, her and the Inivctus soon heading to some tables, the other Invictus had been armed with Glocks, Desert Eagles, and UZI 9mms. Small arms, nothing big, they didn't need to attract too much attention.

The Invictus did what they usually did in the bar, sat around gossiping, making fun of other bar patrons, stroking their egos, stroking their guns, stroking their egos by talking about their guns. Though, not all of them were like that, some were more laidback and calm.

The Invictus peered out of the booth quickly to see where everyone was, the pain in his arms was going to be hard to work with. But, he had worst. The Irishman fired off his last three shots at one of the men that had entered with Viktor, intending to take one out before working on getting rid of anyone else that came with that man.

Several vans, sedans, trucks, motorcycles, and other types of vehicles would ride down the main street, coming to a stop near Gambit's bar. They didn't get too close to the ruined bar and tent beside it, obviously because there were guns going off. The vehicles all had the Invictus logo on them, making it obvious who they belonged too. Stryfe, Anodyne, and Phinx climbed out the back of a van, the rest of the Invictus getting out of their respective vehicles. They numbered in at about forty altogether, their intentions were known only to them for now.

"Let's go." Stryfe said, leading the large group of mercenaries down the street. Her optimistic way of walking confusing those she came with. Stryfe had finished smoking a large amount of cannabis, is all.
