I love the ship because it doesnt look like ur classic imperial ship, but still feels like it belongs to the empire, which i can more than say for for other imperial ships in legends lore.

[@ImperialsExplainedStarWars]

I was interested in this ship, too, because it was different but still powerful and large enough to be a dreadnought 👍

[@leocoulson-venn9447]

Factory ships like this also aided construction of ground vehicles and ships across the galaxy. Imperial efficiency at its finest. Long Live the Empire!

[@thecommandant2831]

The Arc Hammer is a great piece of lore that I think should have been expanded on.

[@jayburn00]

It can be built in empire at war forces of corruption I think.

[@thecommandant2831]

@@jayburn00 Maybe I will need to check the game later.

[@jayburn00]

@@thecommandant2831 if not, I know there are mods with it. I know you can produce dark troopers in the expansion, not sure if they are in vanilla eaw.

[@romanplays1]

@@jayburn00 it can. its a superweapon vehicle alongside the bellator and executor. and while you can only make 1 as the empire compared to 3 of the other two dreadnoughts. its basically a TIE fighter factory that spits them out in insane numbers.

[@AC20sAkimbo]

More of a mobile research base armed to the level of a dreadnought, just looking at it it sort of reminds me of the refinery the Nostromo was hauling about.

[@baronjutter]

That arc hammer art is an amazingly cool looking design, but I think it's strayed way too far from the design we saw in game. The in-game ship had much smoother side plating without the excessive greebles.

[@JeanLucCaptain]

That was an issue of 16 bit rendering.

[@be-noble3393]

Dark Forces was my favorite FPS for the longest time.

[@natebartels1444]

Reminds me of a Battle Barge from Warhammer 40k

[@JeanLucCaptain]

and it shoots the Emperors Holy Dark Troopers at Heretics and traitors lol.

[@marsmech]

from the the thumbnail pic i thought that was a 40k ship

Great video my friend

[@CCCCC40]

Really enjoyed this. The longer the better.

[@ImperialsExplainedStarWars]

Good to hear! 👍thanks

[@JeanLucCaptain]

“MOFF GIDEON, YOU HAVE BEEN REINFORCED BY THE OG DARK TROOPERS, AND NOW WE SHALL BE RID OF THE REBEL ALLIANCE ONCE AND FOR ALL! LONG LIVE THE EMPIRE!”I’m pretty sure Ark Hammer was rebuilt from an earlier ship as a factory ship. it looks very different from other imperial ships, very industrial and modular. I’m guessing it’s possibly originally at least a CEC super freighter?

[@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933]

Now if this was the superweapon across all three of the Sequel Trilogy movies, it might've been a good chance they'd be 1000 times better.

[@vampirecount3880]

Mkes much more sense than Moff Gideon building dark troopers in his light cruiser

[@martinjrgensen8234]

He didn’t build them there.

[@KrisHandsome]

He definitely didn’t build them there. He just had a bunch of them on his ship. Similarly, every star destroyer doesn’t manufacture its whole air wing. Sienar makes the TIEs and they’re shipped to them

[@JeanLucCaptain]

He got those from the First order

[@timothybrandriff6499]

Gideon was trying to run covert and lean. A light cruiser was actually more appropriate and easier to run/maintain.

[@user-td1me4tv3u]

Yes!!!!! My friend you made a video about someone I recommended you to make. General Rom Mohc and his ship The Starship The Arc Hammer. I told you he was a great Imperial officer to make a video about.

[@ImperialsExplainedStarWars]

There you see, l do listen 😊👍 Long live the Empire!!!

[@user-td1me4tv3u]

@@ImperialsExplainedStarWars Thank you. The video I'm waiting for is. Who were All The Separatist Leaders. They are interesting Star Wars Characters. Hopefully it comes out soon.

[@sw-gs]

It is shame that Disney didn't introduced The Arc Hammer as flagship of Moff Gideon.

[@Korasi]

Yay! Thanks for doing this; amazing!

[@ImperialsExplainedStarWars]

Thanks, my friend 👍 l love making this type of SW material

The only ship in Star Wars that looks WH40K enough to fit in.

Comes with discount space marines too

[@moffxanatos6376]

@@MrImperatorRoma I'd say they're closer to Mechanicum Thallax

@@moffxanatos6376 I was thinking more of the angry mouth grill on the Phase 3 (+ it being powered armor), but I see your point.

Hello my friend I'm going to say something about General Rom Mohc he was a mad man Imperial officer in The Empire.

Sounds like they just want their crew to die. Sticking their crew in the parts that sticks out like a sore thumb.

[@FK-KOR]

[@canuck_gamer3359]

I think you mispronounced the light saber resistant metal. It's called Phrik not Phrink.

[@JanoschNr1]

How did she even ever start or land with that shape?🤔

[@ImperialsExplainedStarWars]

Good question. It probably never did due to its secrecy and simply docked and refueled at various imperial refueling stations

[@NineWorldsFromDrew]

Have to admit, the specs for the Arc Hammer really smack of schoolboy boasting - bigger than a Star Destroyer, but almost as powerful as a dreadnought? It’s rather canon-breaking 😆 -at least in the sense of Dark Forces ever having once been “canon” 🤷🏼 It does kind-of make sense, mind. Considering such a project was meant to be so secretive, yet so critical, I expect everyone in charge of it probably viewed it as a potential weakness for the factory ship to have any kind of escort, so they had to avoid that. And it had to be well-defended, because they already figured that the Rebellion could throw at this thing anything from a fleet, to an elite starfighter squadron, to a farm-boy in an X-Wing, and manage to take it down in a space battle - which would just be embarrassing, for a project that’s designed for ground invasions. I guess they would have figured, as long as the Arc Hammer had no weaknesses, then neither would the Dark Troopers.

[@sonofeyeabovealleffoff5462]

😂 Pfft. I prefer that old school Expanded Universe canon over current canon. Also it was a heavily converted former star dreadnought into a mobile starship factory. Nothing about this is lore breaking.

[@NineWorldsFromDrew]

@@sonofeyeabovealleffoff5462 A converted star dreadnought also makes sense. I do just find some Legends stuff a bit power-gamey. If anything, i could say it’s exactly what influenced Starkiller base, and the Final Order star destroyers, because the writers still insisted on this same formula of “We must have the bad guys controlling a superweapon, but EVER MORE POWERFUL than the Death Star!”. By comparison, Order 66 and Palpatine’s coup had way more chilling tones to it, for all the flaws that episodes 1, 2 and 3 had. Star Wars has plenty of good ideas. But however original or derivative they might be, they just need to be applied in the right way.
