You are given this ship when you complete the "Withdraw from Independence" mission in the hub. It's an O.K. ship, but it's totally average. This ship is extremely welcome after flying the Mako, though.

Personally, I think this ship is way underpriced. (Not that I'm complaining, of course...) Comparing the stats to the Warhammer, the defense works out about the same (Adding the Hull, Shield, and Energy stats) and the speed and handling are all better. In fact, if it had more weapon mounts, I would fly it to the end of the game. Note that it's an upgraded Cutlass, so there's NO reason to keep the Cutlass once you've bought this one.

The fast and the furious. This ship gets you where you're going in the shortest time possible. It also carries an insane number of weapon mounts. However, if an enemy starts tailing you, it's a bit weak. (I think the Hull and Shield stats given are wrong.)

This ship can carry just about all the rockets you want. However, the bad news:
Ship Name: | Warhammer | |
Class: | Heavy Assault Fighter | |

Overall, not bad. In my opinion, the only thing it's got that makes it better than the Battleaxe is greater flexibility and amounts of armaments.
