Hammerhead Sky Fortress “Emperor’s Victory”
By the year 2063, the Terran Unification War is close to an end, with only a few pockets of resistance in what used to be North America. The Emperor, in His wisdom, has avoided nuclear bombardment of the continent, as He did not wish to add to the suffering of the common folk. He turned to His most trusted military advisor, Lego Admiral, to come up with new weapons and strategy to quickly conclude the War, so that global peace can be achieved.
The Hammerhead Sky Fortress concept was thus conceived. The newly developed lightweight but extremely strong alloy Allenulium, allowed the realization of this project. Heavily armed, the Sky Fortress could rapidly deploy behind enemy lines. Multipurpose “Peacemaker” FF Missiles provided effective offensive and defensive capability. Aft and stern turret mounted Gauss Cannons provided artillery support to ground troops, as well as ship to ship combat. The Sky Fortress also carries two Piranha gunships for aerial support. A full platoon of Terran Marines can deploy from the air using their jet packs.
It is with great hope and anticipation that the Sky Fortress will deliver the Victory we all yearn for…….

As a fan of M.R.Yoder’s spaceships, I’ve been wanting to build something like this for a while - The Lego Military Annual Challenge provided the motivation for me to finally get around to it! The general shape of my Sky Fortress is influenced by M.R. Yoder’s “Spirit of Memphis”, and I have utilized the method Mike kindly shared to make the wedges for the nose and engine exhausts.
