Sato's Hammer

"Sounds like a ship full of Ezras."

- Garazeb Orrelios

The Sato's Hammer was a YT-2400 light freighter used by the Iron Squadron.

Description
The Sato's Hammer was a beat-up YT-2400 light freighter that lacked a functioning hyperdrive. It was equipped with several laser cannons including a top double turret Cannon. Sato's Hammer was also equipped with deflector shields. The ship also had an airlock and a docking ring for connecting with other starships. The freighter was also equipped with cargo boxes that were loaded with explosives.

History
During the Age of the Empire, the Sato's Hammer served as the base of operations for a small rebel cell in the Mykapo system calling themselves the Iron Squadron. The cell was led by the human Mart Mattin's father and consisted of Mart, the Theelin Gooti Terez, the human Jonner Jin, and the astromech droid R3-A3. Following the death of Mart's father, Mart took command of the Sato's Hammer and the airing Squadron. The cell maintained no contact with other rebel groups including his uncle Commander Jun Sato, who led the Phoenix rebel cell.

In 2 BBY, the Sato's Hammer was attacked by an Imperial advance patrol. The Galactic Empire had imposed martial law on Mykapo. The starship was involved in a skirmish with TIE fighters and a Gozanti-class cruiser. During the fighting, the ship sustained damage to her hyperdrive. Shortly later, the Phoenix Leader Hera Syndulla arrived with Phoenix Squadron and wiped out the starfighters. This allowed the Sato's Hammer to drop explosive-laden cargo onto the Gozanti cruiser.
