Description:

When General Mohc proposed his plan for a super stormtrooper to the Emperor, he aso proposed the construction of a huge, mobile manufacturing plant/ launching station for these Dark Troopers. And so the Arc Hammer was born. Measuring nearly 7 kilometers in length, the massive ship became the second most recognized symbol of the Dark Trooper campaign beside the Troopers themselves. Looking almost like a sleek blaster, the ship had 30 active manufacturing facilities for churning out Dark Troopers by the dozens. Along the bottom brim trench of the ship were the launching facilities hangar bays. Officers quarters were situated near the bridge, while other crew members were quartered in the circular administrative hub below the bridge. The crew consisted of 375,680 factory and maintenence workers, 1,500 gunners and tractor beam operators, and 2,000 officers and supervisors. The ship was armed with 300 turbolasers, 200 heavy turbolaser batteries, 200 concussion missile tubes, 30 proton torpedo tubes, and 300 ion cannons. Although it was heavily armed, these defenses were merely for defensive purposes. The Arc Hammer was not a warship, instead its main purpose was the manufacture and delivery of Dark Troopers to battle zones and Rebel bases. To prevent coordinated attacks by the Rebel Fleet, the Arc Hammer regularly made hyperjumps across the galaxy to randomly selected locations. Darth Vader's command ship, the Executor, was the only ship that carried records of the Arc Hammer's jumps, and would meet up with supply ships elsewhere to ferry them to the Arc Hammer's location.

The Arc Hammer was destroyed by the Rebel saboteur Kyle Katarn. After stowing away on a supply freighter bound for rendevous with the Executor, Katarn used the cargo ferry transferrs to slip onto the Arc Hammer. Once on board, Katarn placed sequencer charges on the three main exchange couplings, damaging the power grid and setting off a chain reaction that totally destroyed the Arc Hammer. With General Mohc killed by Katarn's hand and the master schematics onboard destroyed, the Dark Trooper project was canceled and the Arc Hammer's became a twistest graveyard testifying to the victory of the Rebel Alliance.</font>
