The prototype battle station was built to utilize a gravity cannon that could hurl asteroids at planets and enemy capital ships. Once the Treaty or Coruscant was signed, the Republic military decommissioned the station and it was assumed to be destroyed when sent on a collision course with a nearby sun. Now the station has reappeared under the control of the Advozse Hegemony, who have begun using the station\u2019s cannon to conquer unaligned worlds near the contested borders. Allowing the Advozsec to control the station poses a threat to both the Empire and the Republic, and both sides now assemble strike teams to storm Hammer Station and eliminate this deadly threat once and for all.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>How to Start<\/h2>\n<p>Hammer Station is a Flashpoint meant to be played at almost any time during your levelling or story path, and isn&#8217;t a big part of the main story line. You can encounter it in the story part way through your class story, or play it outside of the story with a group in Veteran or Master mode.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"nav nav-tabs\" id=\"\"><li class=\"active\"><a href=\"#custom-tab-0-91aedca00492a5fba2c282abec5626f3\" data-toggle=\"tab\" >Levels<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#custom-tab-0-85c7fade342735ffb86242f536373bed\" data-toggle=\"tab\" >Story \/ Solo (Pub)<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#custom-tab-0-c17c26210aeef946e1cc80e7621d3c51\" data-toggle=\"tab\" >Story \/ Solo (Imp)<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#custom-tab-0-b96e43ae50dc6257d94f42f61dca5a37\" data-toggle=\"tab\" >Veteran (Pub)<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#custom-tab-0-cddbc2b858442523c0fa8b32eb62e5b6\" data-toggle=\"tab\" >Veteran (Imp)<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#custom-tab-0-e36d392e7bc9deb6c89c2c615bb3afd2\" data-toggle=\"tab\" >Master (Pub)<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#custom-tab-0-ada4578adff7885b3ddc0b9f5e878ad0\" data-toggle=\"tab\" >Master (Imp)<\/a><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"tab-content\">\n<div id=\"custom-tab-0-91aedca00492a5fba2c282abec5626f3\" class=\"tab-pane active\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/hammer-station-run.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-40684\" src=\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/hammer-station-run.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/hammer-station-run.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/hammer-station-run-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/hammer-station-run-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Use the tabs above for instructions for how to enter the flashpoint in the story line, and how to enter it in Solo (Story) mode, Veteran mode, and Master mode by faction.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Story:<\/strong> No &#8220;story&#8221; version available.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Solo:<\/strong> No &#8220;solo&#8221; version available.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Veteran:<\/strong> Lvl 15-80<\/li>\n<li><strong>Veteran Groupfinder:<\/strong> Lvl 15-80<\/li>\n<li><strong>Master Mode:<\/strong> Lvl 50-80 \u2020<\/li>\n<li><strong>Master Mode Groupfinder:<\/strong> Lvl 80<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"490\" height=\"184\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-40665 \" src=\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/img_689c1abfdea53.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/img_689c1abfdea53.png 490w, https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/img_689c1abfdea53-300x113.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 490px) 100vw, 490px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"custom-tab-0-85c7fade342735ffb86242f536373bed\" class=\"tab-pane\">\n<p><strong>Story\/Solo &#8211; Republic Instructions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/no-solo.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-40664\" src=\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/no-solo.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/story-quest-icon.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-40585\" src=\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/story-quest-icon.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/swtor-republic-symbol.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, there is no story or solo version of the Hammer Station Flashpoint.

Players over time have organized a specific way of pulling and fighting the enemies in the flashpoint.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Solo Stealth:<\/strong> If you are playing Hammer Station alone and are on a Stealth character, or are playing in an all-stealth group, you can skip about 90% of the enemies. It&#8217;d a good one for stealthing and soloing for skilled players, even though it has no solo mode available! Be aware, the large droids called Boarder Suppression Droids have extra stealth detection and will pop you out of stealth,<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-48400\" src=\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/stealth-detection-hammer-station.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/stealth-detection-hammer-station.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/stealth-detection-hammer-station-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/stealth-detection-hammer-station-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Skip #1 &#8211; Line-of-Sight (LOS)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/hammerroute1.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This hallway is the very first one you get into after fighting 2 droids and heading through an elbow-shaped tunnel. You&#8217;ll see quite a few droids in this next open area. What most groups in Hammer Station do to make it easier on everyone is to shoot one of the droids, then run back into the elbow hallway. The goal of this is to group up all of the droids on top of each other so they are easier to defeat (otherwise, a lot of incoming damage can easily kill groups with no\/inexperienced tanks).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/hammerroute2.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So you just shot all the droids and they&#8217;re chasing you. Head back into this hallway and cut across this jutting corner support and bury yourself in this little nook our nautolan is standing in. With the corner support in between you and the droids, they&#8217;ll all be forced to clump up and stand on top of eachother at the nearest place they can re-acquire you as a target. Scrunched up like this, you can now use area attacks to take them all down quickly. May want to pop a defensive ability, too. If you&#8217;re standing far out like our cathar in the image, they may not clump up enough. Make sure the <strong>whole team<\/strong> is cuddled in the nook! For future reference, this is known as &#8220;LoS&#8221;ing the pack.

The droids here are a little spread out and so you can run out, shoot one, and then stand here at the ol&#8217; trusty nautolan again. Should clump them up for area attacks again. Note that if you&#8217;re doing these things with a companion, you&#8217;ll need them on passive so they don&#8217;t ruin your plans.

At the intersection, walk right until you get to the two small crates. Use the crates across the way as your guide and walk straight to them to cross safely without pulling any enemies.
