STANDARD FEATURES
The Hammerhead-class Corvette contains standard features technologically comparable to other military corvettes in the modern era. Its computers, sensors, and other systems are of similar codes and specifications of other ships.
ADVANCED SYSTEMS
The Sphyrna-class Corvette, a continuation from the ancient Hammerhead Cruiser of the Old Republic era, was at one point the standard line vessel for the Republic Navy and grew into a competent escort vessel for the Rebellion and New Republic. Technology standards and codes from eight hundred years ago have changed, and so the updated Hammerhead has been fitted with modernized computers and systems with the post-Gulag era standards. Designed as a supporting ship or acting as a pack hunter, the Hammerhead is back in the void.
Four engines set in a diamond pattern provide adequate thrust for the vessel, its weapons are standard for patrol and escort craft with a balance of turbolasers and defensive guns. The Hammerhead has military grade deflector shields, adequate armor, and a bank of AE-CM1 Dampener Chaff launchers for its defensive systems.
On either side of the iconic forward blade, there are heavy laser cannons situated that are able to fire forward, to the dorsal and ventral arcs, and partially behind the corvette. Amidships there is a dorsal tower with a twin turbolaser mounted on it, acting as the vessel’s primary weapon battery. Two batteries of twin turbolaser cannons are mounted on the port and starboard cross section just before the engine blocks, and two along the port and starboard of the neck section provide the ship with a full range of overlapping defensive fire on the dorsal and ventral surfaces of the ship.
As with many other modern designs used by the Resistance, the Hammerhead has been fitted with a Power Converter which it uses to modulate the flow of power from its primary reactor to amplify its combat systems. Using this system it is able to boost either its weapons, shields, or engines slightly while in combat. It takes the system a few short moments to stop the flow of energy to one system, redirect the powerflow, and re-enable the system once more. This provides the patrol corvette with flexibility and versatility in its role, allowing it to better support against enemy capital ships, outflank and outrun formations, and grant it better survivability when caught alone.

STANDARD FEATURES
The Hammerhead-class Corvette contains standard features technologically comparable to other military corvettes in the modern era. Its computers, sensors, and other systems are of similar codes and specifications of other ships.
ADVANCED SYSTEMS
- Power Converter
- Anti-Ion Emission Tracer
- Ion Scrambler
- Power Converter: The new models now include Power Converters and a small reserve Power Generator, which allows them to boost one of their combat systems in battle, or assist with a rapid startup sequence.
- Balanced: The Hammerhead is known for its all around flexibility, the workhorse of any fleet.
- Unassigned Energy: In combat, the reserve power must be assigned by the crew or droid or it is not utilized or directed. This means when ambushed by enemy craft, the vessel is not able to perform at its full potential for a time.
- One System at a Time: The corvette’s power converter can only direct its reserve power to a single combat system at a time, taking several moments to stop the flow of energy to one system, redirect it, and begin the flow of energy to the next system.
