Arc Hammer



Arc Hammer was an Imperial factory ship. Like many other Imperial starships, Arc Hammer had a triangular, dagger-shaped hull; however, it had two large columns on either side, and no bridge structure. Being a secret facility, the factory frequently made jumps to hyperspace, and only certain Imperial ships (like Executor) knew its exact position at any given time. It was commanded by General Rom Mohc, who also headed the secret project being developed aboard.

Arc Hammer was the factory where the infamous Dark Trooper Project to create larger, more powerful robotic versions of stormtroopers was being carried out. Dark troopers were deployed directly from the ship in their debut during the Battle of Talay.

Following the successful theft of the Death Star I plans, Rebel-allied mercenary Kyle Katarn was assigned to investigate the loss of Tak Base on Talay. While there, Kyle discovered a large gun, too cumbersome to be efficiently wielded by a regular stormtrooper.

Eventually, after investigating various secret Imperial factories and weapons scientists, he learned of the Dark Trooper project, and snuck aboard Arc Hammer via a cargo transfer. He later destroyed the ship by placing sequencer charges throughout certain exhaust ports within the ship.
