Hammerhead

The Hammerhead is an armored gunship manufactured by [Aegis Dynamics](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RAdk7jx5Kv-aegis-dynamics) and used by the [United Empire of Earth Navy (UEEN)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RPDvKOpdP4-uee-navy) as a fleet screen and patrol spacecraft. It entered UEEN service in SEY 2773 and saw extensive use during the latter years of the [Messer Era](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/V8gJ6ZwGqo-messer-era) (2546 - 2792). With the fall of the [Messers](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/tag/messer-dynasty), Aegis tried to distance their fleet from the corrupt regime and began to release a civilian model of the Hammerhead at the start of the 29th century.
