The Providence-class Carrier/Destroyer, also known as the Trade Federation Cruiser, is an aggressive looking ship of a roughly cylindrical shape. Picked with dozens of defensive and offensive weapons systems it is, as opposed to the bulky ex-freighter Battleships that used to make up the main part of the Trade Federation fleet in pre-clone war times, a true warship.

 Originally constructed for the highest royals of the Trade Federation, the Invisible Hand was soon claimed by General Grievous and Count Dooku, when the Clone Wars began. Designed as a flagship it combines the brutal power of a warship with all the commodities that high ranking individuals such as Grievous or Dooku require.

Adding to this, the Invisible Hand has undergone many modifications, such as the spacey command center atop the tall conning spire, that make it stand out of the standard Providence-Class series.
