Moonrider

The Moonrider is a dedicated research platform with the added capacity to manufacture its own prototypes. The original Arc Hammer is best known for being the key production facility in the Dark Trooper project. It is amply defended and can hold its own against a couple of Star Destroyers, but is not meant to stand and fight. If all else fails, the commander of the ship can initiate a self-destruct. Extensive automation of the systems on the ship allows a very small crew to handle the huge vessel. Most of its internal security is also handled by Capital Ship Security Droids, CSSDs. The Moonrider is a massive vessel and the largest science ship in the galaxy.
This class was provincially named after the first known ship of the type.
