The COG Army's 26 RTI Special Tactics Group were able to successfully steal the technology from the UIR and Adam Fenix would continue to reverse-engineer the data and use it to create the Hammer of Dawn. Hoffman felt that Fenix was too squeamish. Adam Fenix objected to killing the UIR scientists who couldn't be captured, much to Hoffman's disgust. With the fear of the UIR winning the weapons race while the COG's orbital satellite-based lasers were just blueprints and computer models, Chairman Tomas Dalyell ordered General Jolyon Iver and Director of Special Forces Major Hoffman to find a way to steal or destroy the Indie satellite plans. Hammer of Dawn blueprint stolen from the UIR, also showing a Hammer of Dawn targeting beacon My dad says it's saved him years of work.' -Marcus to Dominic Operation Leveler ' We got the Indie research.

This made Adam Fenix realize that the UIR were in the weapons race for orbital satellites and winning. Mauris Ivo, published an article in Engineering Today, discussing how super-pure crystals could help with satellite accuracy. Nevil Estrom, they worked on the Hammer of Dawn for thirteen years until the UIR scientist, Dr. Adam hoped that he could create an orbital weapon that would end all wars. as deputy head of the weapons research division. Adam would leave the army and join the Defense Research Agency in 17 B.E. The Hammer of Dawn was first envisioned by the then Captain Adam Fenix after the Battle of Ragani, where Fenix discovered a need to create a deterrent in order to end the Pendulum Wars and force politicians to rethink their decisions. Satellite targeting that can take out a single tank or a whole city.' -Adam Fenix having the first idea about the Hammer of Dawn Pendulum Wars The Vision ' Orbital weapons platform.

1.4.2 Mission to Azura Research FacilityĪdam discovering his true path.

The Hammer of Dawn Counterattack burned 90% of Sera, killing almost every Locust or Human that was still on the surface and outside of the Jacinto City limits.

It was first used as a strategic weapon as a deterrent by forcing politicians to rethink their decisions but would eventually be forced to become a tactical weapon for asset denial and tactical operations in the Locust War, when the Horde was only a few days away from Ephyra city. Its first real military use was at the Battle of Bonbourg where the Hammer obliterated four large UIR ships in seconds, winning the battle for the COG and forcing Premier Yori Deschenko to the negotiation table. Its first test was in the Garadaner Test Ranges when two low yield beams destroyed the mock town on the island test range. Its key components were invented by the UIR scientist Mauris Ivo and completed by professor Adam Fenix after it was stolen during Operation: Leveler. The Hammer of Dawn was a COG (part UIR) Imulsion-energized, orbital, satellite-based laser. That's my duty now.' -Captain Adam Fenix envisioning the Hammer of Dawn I can build a deterrent that'll bring governments to their sense. Someone has to create weapons so powerful that if politicians want to wage war, they'll face the same death as the men and women sent to fight it. ' And now we go and do it all over again.
