Axehead frigate

The Hammerhead frigate was a capital ship model used by the Republic Navy during the Mandalorian Wars.

Description
Unlike other Republic designs with a hammerheaded bow-section, this design had a horisontal rather than vertical protrusion, to aid in landing and deploying troops. The frigate could carry multiple speeder bike squads in its forward hangars, unleashing them onto the battlefield upon landing.

History
One of these frigates deployed Revanchist Jedi Knights onto Essien to battle Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders who had taken the planet weeks before.
