Anak's Fist

The largest personal weapon in human space, Anaks's Fist is the most treasured artifact of the Knights Menda.
Anak's Fist is nearly 3-1/2 meters tall from end to end and weighs half a ton. One end of the hammer has been sharpened into a large spike, which is fully capable of punching through any personal armor (and some lightly armored vehicles). While it has no proper offensive abilities, the hammerhead is forged from tungsten coated in an unknown alchemical substance that not only nullifies most magic shielding but is capable of passing through most force fields.
Anak's Fist was originally forged by the Smithlords of Damas on behalf of a giant, who was the hammer's first wielder. After a long and storied career establishing order on the planet, the giant would ultimately die of complications from his size, and Anak's Fist was buried with him. It would remain there, untouched, for nearly three centuries before Lord Knight Hatha would claim it during the Scorching of Terra. He would strike the first and most crucial blow of the fight against King Lugh, successfully crippling the xenos shield generator, allowing the other Lord Knights to damage his armor.
Hatha would wield Anak's Fist for the rest of his life, ultimately dying of age-related Therizin evisceration. His body and armor would be recovered and entombed in the monastery of the Knights Menda. Anak's Fist would be placed in the center of the monastery, a proud reminder of the Order's history. The hammer has not been wielded by anyone for the last four millennia, as it is simply too heavy for any of the Knights to wield without forbidden magical or technological augmentation, speaking volumes of Lord Hatha's enormous strength. It has become something of a tradition to challenge visitors to attempt to lift it, promising riches and glory to any who can (xenos, cyborgs, and magically-augments are not precluded, though even most of them fail). No riches have ever been paid out.
