"The Geonosian hives leaned heavily into crystalline research of their own, importing magmatic crystals by the ton. They even outsourced one off shoot—code name Hammertong—to a facility on the crystal planet of Mygeeto."
―Colonel Haxen Delto, to General Davits Draven in a report of past Geonosian research of an ultimate weapon[1]

Hammertong was the codename of a magmatic crystal that was researched by Geonosian hives and outsourced to a facility on Mygeeto. Hammertong was mentioned as part of a report from Colonel Haxen Delto of Rebel Alliance Intelligence Service to General Davits Draven about the Geonosians and an Ultimate Weapon, as uncovered from second-hand sources by the Rebel Alliance years earlier, and the rising rumors about a project that the Galactic Empire may be operating.[1]

The report would be included in The Rebel Files, and after it was rediscovered on Durkteel[1] in 34 ABY[2] and handed to the Resistance, Major Caluan Ematt wrote a note on the report stating that Hammertong needed to be looked at more closely, as he believed that the longer the rumors of a First Order superweapon persisted, the more he was convinced that it was factual.[1]

  2. Since The Rebel Files were buried on the same day as the Battle of Endor, which according to Star Wars: Galactic Atlas takes place in 4 ABY, and because Star Wars: The Rebel Files establishes that The Rebel Files were rediscovered 30 years after the battle, it can be determined that The Rebel Files were uncovered in 34 ABY.
