It does so by concentrating its Quad Turbolaser and Heavy Turbolaser cannons on enemy vessels while being equipped with a series of defensive measures - such as Point Defense Cannons and AntiMissile Countermeasures - to assist in dealing with Starfighters and Bombers. Often it attempts to counter this shortcoming via the application of Tractor Beam Projectors and Heavy Ion Cannons to ensnare and disable faster-moving craft - as a means to either capture or more easily destroy these smaller vessels. Likewise, it is a rather Average vessel in terms of Speed and Maneuverability, often finding itself outclassed by the likes of Fast Attack Corvettes and Gunships. However like many vessels, it does come with its own drawbacks, such as its limited hanger space - forcing a fleet to rely more on planetside Starfighters or Dedicated Carriers. Even with it being equipped with a Damage Reduction Armor Component - utilized to assist in the removal of harmful debris and substances from the hull - and a GalaxyGuard used to provide additional endurance and range to the vessel's Deflector Shields.
Relatively small for a Cruiser the Hammerhead III is not designed, nor meant, to stand toe-to-toe against larger Cruisers or even similarly armed vessels. This cost-efficiency of the Cruiser ensures that even some of the poorest planets within Confederacy space are more than capable of fielding and maintaining a rather sizeable fleet of these vessels. The Hammerhead III-class Cruiser is highly cost-efficient - compared to many of the larger vessels produced by Von Sorenn Industries. Thus it falls into a primary role as a Support Vessel, focusing on screening faster moving vessels away from larger Star Destroyers, Carriers, Heavy Cruisers, and Battlecruisers.
