While there, Kyle discovered a large gun, too cumbersome to be efficiently wielded by a regular stormtrooper.

Īfter receiving the distress signal, the Rebel-allied mercenary Kyle Katarn was assigned to investigate the loss of Tak Base. However, before its destruction, Admiral Toka managed to send a distress signal. The base itself was destroyed with all hands. The demonstration was successful only one Rebel ship managed to escape from the planet, although it was boarded by a Dark Trooper as well, who then killed all crew aboard. To demonstrate the power of the Dark Troopers, it was arranged to attack the Rebel Tak Base on the planet Talay. The Dark Trooper project proceeded quickly, and by 0 ABY the first working prototypes were made. In order to ensure secrecy of the project, the factory frequently made jumps to hyperspace, and only one ship, the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader's Super Star Destroyer Executor, knew its exact position at any given time. To this end, he was provided with the Arc Hammer. Mohc eventually persuaded the Imperial officials to greenlight the Dark Trooper Project, which involved creating droid versions of Imperial stormtroopers. After the destruction of the newest Imperial superweapon, the Death Star in 0 BBY, the Empire started to share General Rom Mohc's views, who considered that all soldiers should be given a chance to face each other in a one-on-one combat. The Arc Hammer was a titanic space faring construction facility constructed at Kuat Drive Yards and was classified as a dreadnaught. The Arc Hammer cost billions of credits to construct. The inside contained large amounts of conveyer belts and moving vertical columns for maximum Dark Trooper construction. The inside of the Arc Hammer was a large maze and was very similar to that of other Star Destroyer designs. The Arc Hammer was equipped with enough weaponry to defend itself in space battles. Construction lines filled the interior and four large ventral hangars were responsible for receiving cargo vessels and loading batches of dark troopers into transports or deploying them directly above a target world. The Dark Troopers were developed inside the vessel. The Arc Hammer served as a primary testbed of the Dark Trooper Project, a brainchild of General Rom Mohc which was to create larger, more powerful robotic versions of stormtroopers. Like many other Imperial starships, the Arc Hammer had a long, narrow, dagger-shaped hull however, it also had four large columns surrounding a central one that protruded from below and a small, flat bridge structure in front of the columns on its dorsal side. The Arc Hammer was a factory ship of a unique design.
