A hammer was once, a tool to build homes, fabricate the forge, and to itself, forge the very heart of Mandalorian Culture. While many are custom made according to the user, this one is an inheritance for one young man. Tarre received this hammer as a gift from his Mastersmith mentor, Ordo, and was then allowed to be improved upon by Tarre for his personal use. While having been a tool to create, and forge the very beskar that the mandalorians covet, it is also a breaker of such armors, and creations. Sporting an extremely powerful blow in its own right, but also being a host of two generators that can be used in not just the forging process, but as well as combat.
The first usage of such a generator is that of a Kinetite Generator. Charging up a Kinetic blast that when released can be used in explosive results to break even the very metal it is made from, Beskar. The Kinetite blast can be held onto and charged for a period of time so that it can be released in one massive blast, or AOE like effect. Slamming hard into whatever it may strike. Secondly, a Shockwave Generator is also housed alongside it. As it can allow the hammer to focus its breaking potential, to generate a shockwave in a much smaller cone the same size as the hammer face itself. Thus acting like a "Directed Charged Explosive." Acting as a piercing charge that can generate holes due to a concussive force alone.
However, a severe downside of this, is that this is first and foremost, a tool. Meaning its not the easiest to wield in battle comparable to other weapons such as a baton that you can just pick up and swing. It requires usage to keep the face retained in the direction, as well as requiring extensive knowledge of Beskar in order to use this to its fullest extent in forging the very well known, and coveted metal. More over, as generators within the tool are not protected against Ion weaponry, it can shut down the generators and thus reduce it to a simple hammer that just strikes very hard.
