The Hammer

The Hammer was amongst the first YVG Corvettes to be purchased by the
Empire and like the others that were bought in her batch; the Hammer's main
cargo hold was converted into a hangar bay to carry TIE fighters. This
involved the installation of TIE fighter cradle facilities, a small tractor beam
above the hangar bay entrance to help with landing operations, the
enlargement of the hangar bay door and a magcon field generator to cover the
hangar bay's doors. In addition to these modifications, part of the storage bay
that overlooks the cargo bay was converted to serve as the hangar bay's
control room and to provide some additional crew quarters. The Quarter
master's office was also modified to serve as the pilot's ready room.

With their recent trip to Starforge Station, the Hammer has under gone a major refit both internally and externally. This involved the
installation of a tractor beam emplacement and additional crew quarters in place of the officer's mess and kitchen; the replacement of
the forward ventral turret turbolasers with ion cannons; an engine upgrade and a shield upgrade.
