DESCRIPTION |
As the Galaxy continues to spiral into one war after another with the most recent engagements being the Alliance-Enclave War, the Mandalorian-Sith Skirmishes, the Sith Empire Campaigns leading up to 900 ABY to 902 ABY. The Galactic Alliance is surrounded on all sides by foreign powers looking to carve up its territories and has issued one mobilization after another in the hopes of containing the spread of darkness throughout the galaxy. In response to this mobilization effort, the BSD Hammerhead Class B Cruiser was designed and produced by Byblos Star Drives as part of the Galactic Alliance 8th Generation Modernization Initiative which is designed to slowly upgrade the arsenal of the Alliance Fleet with a wide range of new cruisers, battlecruisers, and frigate classes in order to maintain their hegemony on the galactic frontier. Having witnessed the introduction of the Imperial Erebus-Class Sith Battlecruiser during the Blockade over Onderon, the Hammerhead Class B was built in response as a powerful support cruiser able to patrol in pack formation along the major galactic trade routes and even engage in direct combat with the insidious marvels of Imperial Engineering. Coming in at around 1,000 Meters - the Hammerhead Class B is equipped with several layers of shielding and heavy armor plating across its more vulnerable area and packed to the brim with weaponry ranging from heavy turbolaser batteries to missile launchers installed directly underneath its main hull. Although like all vessels introduced during the Modernization Program, their is enough hanger space for 5 squadrons of starfighters. |
