"The crew has one job."
The Mace carries more than a fighter. The Warhammer carries more than a Mace.
Four pods sit in the wings, two to a side, each carrying a warhead larger than anything the gunships use. Beneath each pod are two hardpoints for the ordnance a Mace flies with. The Warhammer carries those as an afterthought.
The frame is narrower and cleaner than a Mace and it moves better. The engineers spent every kilogram they saved on the pods and not one on anything else. It is faster than a Mace. It will not survive a fight.
The pilots fought for self-defense on the Mace and got a turret. The Conclave demanded the Warhammer remain strictly a payload delivery vehicle. There are no cannons, and there is no provision for adding any.
The crew has one job: warheads on foreheads. The Fleet will maintain fighter escort support.
Three aboard under a single canopy: one pilot, one junior weapons officer, and one senior weapons technician, both weapons crew trained interchangeably.
Like the Mace, the Warhammer flies Academy and qualification runs over Ordin, and few carriers embark one.
It has yet to be utilized outside of training.
