Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created The Waster to destroy.
Isaiah 54:16
Du mußt Amboß oder Hammer sein
“You must be Anvil or Hammer”
Oracle:
You are a Bastard.
Smith:
You would know, Mom.
Oracle:
Do what you’re here to do.
Smith:
Yes, ma’am.
Smith is aboard The Hammer
The Mjolnir (AKA the Hammer) is a Zion hovercraft. The ship's named is derived from Mjolnir (crusher), the hammer of the Norse thunder god, Thor. Because of this, most characters refer to the ship as the "Hammer". It is the largest hovercraft in the Zion fleet, thus making it extremely difficult to maneuver around tight spaces.
After the failed EMP wave, the Mjolnir picked up Bane, who appears to be the only survivor of the battle between the Sentinels and the Zion fleet, but has in fact been taken over by Smith and murdered everyone on the Caduceus.
Shortly later they located the crew of the Nebuchadnezzar after their ship is destroyed by a Sentinel tow bomb.
Against Captain Roland's better judgment, Niobe lets Neo and Trinity (and a stowed-away Bane) take the Logos in an attempt to reach the Machine City.
With the remaining crew of the Nebuchadnezzar and the Logos, the Mjolnir races back to Zion, relying on Niobe's piloting skills to steer the ship through the narrow mechanical tunnels. Reaching the city as it is under attack by thousands of Sentinels, and with their communications antenna destroyed, the Mjolnir crash lands in Zion's Dock and sets off its EMP. This destroys the attacking Sentinels, but as an angry Commander Lock warns Roland and Morpheus, they have also crippled the city's defenses against any subsequent attacks.
Except for Roland, all members of the crew have gun-related names: "Maggie" is short for "magazine" or "Magnum"); AK is named after the Kalashnikov series of assault rifles; Colt is related to the famous Colt's Manufacturing Company's guns; Mauser is named after a German arms manufacturer.
The Mjolnir's commissioning plaque reads "Mark XIV No. 62[1] Made in the USA Year 2111".
It is not known how the ship was constructed after the victory of the Machines. Possibly it was constructed in Zion, not USA
