Intent: To create a cheap method of deploying heavy warheads en masse
Development Thread: No
Manufacturer: Iron Crown Productions
Model: Hammer Type B Light Assault Craft
Affiliation: Lords of the Fringe
Modularity: No
Production: Mass-Produced
Material: Durasteel hull, transparisteel viewports
Description: Built in the spaceframe of Fringe's standard landing craft, the Hammer B is similarly unimpressive and similarly durable. The entirety of the original Hammer's hangar space has been devoted to one thing and one thing only: Heavy warheads. When carrying standard explosive warheads like the assault concussion missile, naturaly, the Hammer B is highly vulnerable to sympathetic detonation. The original heavy laser cannons have been replaced with standard laser cannons, a token gesture for survivability. The non-hypercapable vessel is designed to deploy en masse, release its warheads, and, ideally, retreat. Its two heavy warhead launchers function at the same rate as any capital heavy warhead launchers. Its laser cannons have a somewhat limited field of fire, a 45 degree cone.
This vessel is quick, durable, and moderately helpless against smaller craft. It has one job, and it does that job relatively well. Most importantly, it is cheap and relatively easy to operate.
