The Hammerhead-class cruiser was a type of warship used by the Republic Navy during the Old Sith Wars, the Mandalorian Wars, and the New Sith Wars. However, you can actually defend against carrier squadrons but not swarms of spacecraft. Sadly, you lose the interdiction field giving you less freedom. You actually have some firepower, this can be put to good use. Unlike your past two cousins, you have heavy PD and slightly more health, this won't change your playstyle much though.
Though Republic in design, the Hammerhead suits well with the Rebel Alliance's guerilla and hit-and-run tactics, being a somewhat agile attack cruiser with decent health and armament. The Hammerhead-class Cruiser is a Tier 2 Rebel support ship from Star Wars.
