The Stormhammer Assault Dreadnaught is a heavy warship based on a partial reverse engineering of a Rendili StarDrive Dreadnaught-class Heavy Cruiser. Working with a disabled Dreadnaught taken from a local pirate group, Omega Shipyard engineers were able to replicate the general design of the Dreadnaught, but could not produce an armed, functioning replica. The Stormhammer is an extensive modification and modernization of the Dreadnaught, making use of more modern technology (though modern automation is still lacking, giving the Stormhammer a large crew complement).
