	In March [[StarCitizen:2765]], [[StarCitizen:High Command]] issued a request for proposal (RFP) seeking a dedicated anti-fighter platform that could serve as both a key element of the standard fleet screen and as a cost-effective patrol ship to replace the aging [[StarCitizen:Guine\|Guine-class]]. Aegis Dynamics was tasked with developing this new warship, then identified as PROJECT MONITOR and began ground-up development that November. Six initial prototypes were built by Aegis, with two of these prototypes being delivered to the [[StarCitizen:UEE Navy]] for evaluation. Structural development lasted eighteen months, followed by three years of construction on the first of six test-bed articles. The result of the prototype program was a highly successful new spacecraft design. Aegis had built a fast warship nimble enough to properly support a battle group while remaining inexpensive enough to be constructed in large numbers.<ref name="brochure">{{Cite RSI\|url=media/8srns703rujzbr/source/Hammerhead.pdf\|text=The Aegis Hammerhead - Ship Brochure}}</ref>		In March [[StarCitizen:2765]], [[StarCitizen:High Command]] issued a request for proposal (RFP) seeking a dedicated anti-fighter platform that could serve as both a key element of the standard fleet screen and as a cost-effective patrol ship to replace the aging [[StarCitizen:Guine\|Guine-class]].

	In [[StarCitizen:2773]]-08-09, the first production and Flight I model of Hammerhead, [[StarCitizen:UEES Hammerhead]] was transferred to the UEE Navy. After six months of space trials proved uneventful, an additional five Flight I hulls were approved and allocated to the [[StarCitizen:Fifth Fleet]] to serve as a proof-of-concept for newly developed carrier warfare doctrine. The Navy was pleased with the Hammerhead's proven combat capability and its new role in fleet operations, [[StarCitizen:UEE]] doubled their initial hull order with Aegis and six months later signed an additional expansion that requested permanent production.<ref name="brochure"/>		In [[StarCitizen:2773]]-08-09, the first production and Flight I model of Hammerhead, [[StarCitizen:UEES Hammerhead]] was transferred to the UEE Navy.

	After the fall of the [[StarCitizen:Messer Era\|Messers]] in [[StarCitizen:2792]], the Hammerhead was considered by many to have been the 'official' ships of the Messers, Aegis not only found themselves publicly disgraced but many called for them to be charged for their role in the fascist regimes war crimes. As the new government sought to distance themselves from Aegis' warships in an attempt to rebrand their military and sought contracts from other manufacturers like [[StarCitizen:RSI]] and the new [[StarCitizen:Anvil Aerospace]]. Luckily for Aegis, the military had not negotiated an exclusive license on the Hammerhead design, which allowed them to adapt the spacecraft for civilian use in a variety of roles without governmental oversight in an attempt to remain solvent.<ref name="brochure"/>		After the fall of the [[StarCitizen:Messer Era\|Messers]] in [[StarCitizen:2792]], the Hammerhead was considered by many to have been the 'official' ships of the Messers, Aegis not only found themselves publicly disgraced but many called for them to be charged for their role in the fascist regimes war crimes.

The [[StarCitizen:Aegis]] '''Hammerhead''' is a fast, sub-capital [[StarCitizen::Category:Patrol vessels|patrol gunship]] bristling with six manned quad-linked turrets. These turrets are optimized for anti-fighter and anti-ordnance work and grant the ship an unparalleled ability to put up a hailstorm of firepower that swiftly removes smaller aerospace threats. It also features a generous ordnance bay with a variety of Size 3 missiles. The Hammerhead is thus well suited for supporting larger capital ships in a fleet or to act as a general patrol vessel in lower-intensity theaters.<ref name="shippage">{{Cite RSI|url=pledge/ships/hammerhead/AEGIS-Hammerhead|text=Hammerhead Ship Page}}</ref>

Project MONITOR=
{| class="wikitable"
|-
In March [[StarCitizen:2765]], [[StarCitizen:High Command]] issued a request for proposal (RFP) seeking a dedicated anti-fighter platform that could serve as both a key element of the standard fleet screen and as a cost-effective patrol ship to replace the aging [[StarCitizen:Guine|Guine-class]]. Aegis Dynamics was tasked with developing this new warship, then identified as PROJECT MONITOR and began ground-up development that November. Six initial prototypes were built by Aegis, with two of these prototypes being delivered to the [[StarCitizen:UEE Navy]] for evaluation. Structural development lasted eighteen months, followed by three years of construction on the first of six test-bed articles. The result of the prototype program was a highly successful new spacecraft design. Aegis had built a fast warship nimble enough to properly support a battle group while remaining inexpensive enough to be constructed in large numbers.<ref name="brochure">{{Cite RSI|url=media/8srns703rujzbr/source/Hammerhead.pdf|text=The Aegis Hammerhead - Ship Brochure}}</ref>

Flight I=
{| class="wikitable"
|-
In [[StarCitizen:2773]]-08-09, the first production and Flight I model of Hammerhead, [[StarCitizen:UEES Hammerhead]] was transferred to the UEE Navy. After six months of space trials proved uneventful, an additional five Flight I hulls were approved and allocated to the [[StarCitizen:Fifth Fleet]] to serve as a proof-of-concept for newly developed carrier warfare doctrine. The Navy was pleased with the Hammerhead's proven combat capability and its new role in fleet operations, [[StarCitizen:UEE]] doubled their initial hull order with Aegis and six months later signed an additional expansion that requested permanent production.<ref name="brochure"/>

Fall of Messers=
{| class="wikitable"
|-
After the fall of the [[StarCitizen:Messer Era|Messers]] in [[StarCitizen:2792]], the Hammerhead was considered by many to have been the 'official' ships of the Messers, Aegis not only found themselves publicly disgraced but many called for them to be charged for their role in the fascist regimes war crimes. As the new government sought to distance themselves from Aegis' warships in an attempt to rebrand their military and sought contracts from other manufacturers like [[StarCitizen:RSI]] and the new [[StarCitizen:Anvil Aerospace]]. Luckily for Aegis, the military had not negotiated an exclusive license on the Hammerhead design, which allowed them to adapt the spacecraft for civilian use in a variety of roles without governmental oversight in an attempt to remain solvent.<ref name="brochure"/>

*'''Flight III:''' The Flight III models, which focused on an overall upgrade to modern command and control surfaces, were introduced between 2854 to [[StarCitizen:2915]], and it replaced all extant Navy earlier Hammerheads by 2915.<ref name="brochure"/>
*'''Flight IV:''' The Flight IV models are the modern version of Hammerheads in UEE Navy as of [[StarCitizen:2947]]. Compared to the Flight III models, it has multiple additional remote turrets and tools for increased modularity.<ref name="brochure"/>
*'''Flight V:''' Aegis has begun early jump tunnel development of the theoretical Flight V, though there is no naval contract in place and it is unlikely to see a service opening in the next decade.<ref name="brochure"/>

==Trivia==
*The in-lore development of the Hammerhead is featured in a memoir written by spacecraft designer [[StarCitizen:Cassie H. Larbig]] called [[StarCitizen:Forging Ahead!]]. For the operational history of individual Hammerhead spacecraft, [[StarCitizen:James Hasburns]] covered the content in [[StarCitizen:Forged with Honor: The Hammerhead at War]].<ref name="brochure"/>
