Task Force Hammmer was a combined force unit of the Galactic Empire, comprising Imperial Navy warships, Imperial Army units, and Stormtrooper battalions. Originally formed by Fleet Admiral Drayson Honos, then Commodore, as a special unit as part of the Imperial First Fleet to harass neutral trading lines and disrupt New Republic attempts to spread their influence along neutral star systems. In Imperial battlefleet deployment, Task Force Hammer would occupy strategic center of the array, tasked with coordinating all the firepower of the combined fleet.
