Hammer Station
The resulting project: Hammer Station, is a prototype mobile facility built inside an asteroid around a combined tractor beam and massive gravity cannon. The tractor beam captured nearby asteroids, and the cannon launched the asteroids at near-relativistic speeds at a chosen target. No shield could handle that magnitude of kinetic energy. When positioned over a planet, Hammer Station was capable of devastating entire cities in a single shot.
However, Hammer Station's attacks cannot not be tempered. The asteroids caused planet-wide dust clouds and groundquakes, rendering entire worlds nearly uninhabitable. After seeing the destruction, the Galactic Republic Senate could not authorize its use, even against the Sith Empire during the Cold War, and ordered the project scrapped. The Hammer Station project files were classified and later destroyed in a Senate tower bombing after the Treaty of Coruscant was signed. Hammer Station was abandoned, left to drift through the galaxy.
Years after the Sacking of Coruscant decades ago, the station was claimed by the Advozse Hegemony and was being used to conquer worlds in the Outer Rim. In addition, a multitude of Republic war droids left on the asteroid were captured, and reprogrammed on board the station. Darth Malgus, the conqueror of Coruscant, called together an Imperial strike team to board Hammer Station and destroy it, and also uncover exactly how the Advozsec managed to acquire it. Similarly, Satele Shan, the then-Grand Master of the Jedi Order, called together Republic forces to investigate the station.
