Hammer

To hammer a LWSS, MWSS or HWSS is to smash reactions into the rear end of it in order to transform it into a different type of spaceship. A hammer is the object or reaction used to do the hammering.

In the following example by Dieter Leithner, a LWSS is hammered by two more LWSS to make it into a MWSS:
