112th Repulsorlift Armor Regiment, commonly known as the Hell's Hammers, was an elite armor unit in the Imperial Army.
It was originally formed near the end of the Clone Wars from various Republic Army tank units. It was created to crush resistance to Palpatine's New Order, and was led by Colonel Zel Johans. The 112th's primary tasks consisted of eradicating Alliance outposts and quelling rebellious uprisings across the Outer Rim. Originally a regiment, by 0 ABY attrition had reduced it to an effective battalion size.
The Hammers only employed repulsorlift vehicles, most notably the S-1 Firehawke heavy repulsortank, and later on, the 1-H Imperial-class repulsortank. The latter was handed to them over two years after Alliance forces had decimated the regiment on Turak IV, as part of a reconstruction scheme that included new funding and material for the unit.
