StarCitizen:UEES War Hammer

Template:Short description Template:InfoboxNeue The UEES War Hammer is a StarCitizen:Javelin-class destroyer currently in service with the StarCitizen:United Empire of Earth Navy.

History

The War Hammer began active service in 2832, under the command of StarCitizen:Captain StarCitizen:Omar Singh as a combat support vessel of the StarCitizen:2nd Fleet, StarCitizen:6th Battle Group close to the StarCitizen:Vanduul front.<ref name=":0" /> This would make the War Hammer a Flight 3 Javelin<ref>Template:Cite Jump Point</ref>

On StarCitizen:June 25 2861, the vessel was boarded by StarCitizen:Vanduul raiders in a surprise assault. The assailants used Vanduul Boarding Spikes to get past point defense systems. Five off-duty starmen perished within moments, but the crew was ultimately able to repel the boarders, with the destroyer ultimately claiming victory.<ref name=":1">In-game signage, Alpha 3.13.1</ref>

The vessel was present during the fall of Caliban on StarCitizen:July 7 2884, protecting retreating civilians and naval forces. It earned a StarCitizen:Ribbon of Valor for this engagement.<ref name=":0" /> StarCitizen:XO StarCitizen:Sander Freelin in their after-action report and StarCitizen:Gunner StarCitizen:Tobin Lemk in a letter home both noted damage caused by the heat generated from sustain fire had begun to damage the ship: observations that led to improvements in future Javelins.<ref name=":1" />

In the following decades, the War Hammer transferred between numerous roles and fleets, including participating in the reclamation of the StarCitizen:Nexus system.<ref name=":0" />

Most recently, It participated in the 2951 engagements against StarCitizen:XenoThreat in the StarCitizen:Stanton system, aided by members of the StarCitizen:Civilian Defense Force.<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref> During these engagements, it destroyed over 70 enemy vessels and several StarCitizen:capital ships.<ref name=":0">In-game dialogue, Alpha 3.13.1</ref>

Trivia

• Due to an intermittently malfunctioning gravity plate for a brief period in 2928, the crew of the War Hammer habitually hop over a particular step in one of the ship's stairwells, known as the 'Skip Step'.<ref name=":1" />
• The ships mess serves a special dish referred to as "warhalwa". It is a carrot halwa (a sweet, cardamom-spiced pudding) requested by the first StarCitizen:Captain StarCitizen:Omar Singh to celebrate his birthday. It is traditionally served on special occasions and celebrations on board. Lt. Con Timway credited the carrots in the dish for setting the new naval accuracy record in 2902.<ref name=":1" />
• As is customary with StarCitizen:Javelin-class ships, the War Hammer is named after a weapon.<ref>Wikipedia: War Hammer, Retrieved 2021-04-30 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_hammer</ref>
