Scaling the Corvette and it turns out the Hammerhead is incredibly tiny for managing this level of work.

This may not seem like much in the context of a setting where fighters can pull hundreds of gees, until you recall there is a significant mass difference between both vessels. Here he measures the acceleration of the debris from the ISD being pushed by the Hammerhead and found that it was achieving an angular acceleration of 5.78 m/s^2. In addition, to quote myself from another thread:Īlso, this more so relates back to an earlier statement I made about Rogue One, but someone brought to attention some interesting work from Rhett Allain concerning the maximum impulse of a Hammerhead. A single Resurgent Class Star Destroyer alone has over twice as many TIEs than the Assault Carrier has Seraphs (two wings of TIEs adding up to 144 TIEs vs 64 Seraph fighters), and who knows how many TIEs the Supremacy has on-board. I'm pretty sure the shear number of TIEs here would outnumber the CAS's Seraph fighter compliment by at least several orders of magnitude. The Supremacy also has thousands of heavy turbolaser batteries and ioncannons on-board, so even considering the large amount of guns on-board the CAS Assault Carrier, it's still heavily outgunned by the 60km wide warship.
