The Sphyrna-class Hammerhead corvette, also known as the Sphyrna-class C80 corvette and known more commonly as the Hammerhead corvette, was a model of corvette that saw wide use during the Imperial Era as an armed transport, and later served as a mainline warship in the naval forces of the Alliance to Restore the Republic and subsequent New Republic Security Bureau during and after the Galactic Civil War against the Galactic Empire. The corvette witnessed continued use during the Cold War by the Resistance against the First Order, and subsequently in the pan-galactic war between the forces of the galaxy and the Sith Eternal.



Sphyrna-class Hammerhead corvettes,^[​17] also referred to as C80 corvettes^[​3] or Hammerhead-class cruisers,^[​14] were inspired by a similar starship design by Rendili Hyperworks that dated back centuries^[​2] prior to the Imperial Era.^[​18] The Sphyrna-class was a joint operation between two companies,^[source?] as it was designed by Corellian Engineering Corporation^[​1] and manufactured by Rendili StarDrive.^[​2] A big, bulky transport, the Hammerhead was built for the transportation of goods and individuals safely, comfortably, and without the need for escort ships. It had a cylinder-shaped hull that contained a number of large modular cargo holds, external docking points for cargo containers, and an external cargo lift.^[​2]
