History of the Ship:The Hammer of Korhol was assigned as the defense fleet of a Terran held world near the edge of a Protoss faction's borders, for many years it would engage in small scale skirmishes with the Protoss but never any major engagements. During this time, the Terran Dominion would tear itself apart with Raynor's Raiders beginning to strike back and the resurgence of the Zerg swarm. Captain Astrovia would hold fast and protect the world under his care. Unfortunately the back-world was right in the path of two mighty forces. A Zerg splinter swarm would descend on the system along with a mighty Protoss fleet trying to prevent the swarm gaining purchase on its flank. The Battle-Cruiser was the only warship the Terrans had in the system, during the fighting it was possible to sequester a large civilian and military presence in a defensible position while the Zerg and Protoss were largely content to slaughter each other.
This went on for some time, the Swarm slowly growing and gaining a better grip on the world. Escape was impossible for the Terrans fighting their way through either force would have been suicide. As the Protoss surrendered the world to the Zerg they consructed powerful Warp Conduits to evacuate the forces that remained on the planet. Captain Astrovia in a risky, though some would say reckless, move to escape the inevitable conquest of the planet tried to force a Tactical Jump to be calculated that landed them in the warp conduit so that they would be sent to a protoss world and had a hope of escaping in the confusion or begging safe passage.
The jump however not only destroyed the warp conduit, standing many protoss on the world, but sent the Hammer of Korhol spinning through reality or the multiverse to land in the star wars galaxy.

Optional, but helpful:
Unique Technology: The Yamato cannon is mounted on the prow of Battle Cruisers. The cannon draws its immense power from the ship's core, and then generates a dense magnetic field to harness a controlled nuclear reaction, turning it into a concentrated energy blast that can destroy almost anything with a few shots, even enough to decimate cities. The cannon requires a huge energy reserve to fire, requiring its own conversion generator and a fire-control station manned by nearly 100 gunnery specialists. However, the effects make it worthwhile.
The cannon is suitable for "scorched earth" work.
Energy Shields
Force fields provide protection from projectiles, energy-based weapons and electronic surveillance. Upon impact of external objects, the effect varies. Against personal force fields, bullets simply bounce off and fall. Explosive weaponry such as missiles against ships is more spectacular however, the absorbed energy creating a corona effect. The only sign of a force field deactivating is a slight ripple through the air around it,
Tactical Jump
A short range teleport used to escape incoming heavy damage or escape after sustaining damage
