Initial testing of the vehicle once it entered the prototype stages showed that it was indeed not suited for traditional ground based operations, but it performed well on the water. It was a former blue water navy officer, who was part of the testing team for Michaelson Industries, who suggested it would be suited for the Republic's waterborne operations.

The Hexareme was deployed with the Republic's SpecOps Command, where the vehicle was used for amphibious assaults. It was also assigned to perform blue water operations such as coastal patrol. Its hovercraft speeds and modest armor allow it to operate as a tactical mobile headquarters vehicle, keeping field command personnel safe while at sea.<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: Republic, Volume 1'', pp. 13, 32: Hexareme HQ Hovercraft - "Background information."</ref> The Republic, in its later days, used the vehicle sparely.  Notable use in combat was in [[3149]] on [[Addicks]], where a Hexareme assigned to the [[XII Hastati Sentinels]] was employed in trying to counter units of the [[Draconis Combine]]'s [[4th Dieron Regulars]]. As the Republic began to shrink, Hexaremes have fallen into the hands of various parties. This would even include some pirates, who used one particular craft to raid maritime traffic on [[Connaught]] in late 3140s.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3150'', p. 100: Later info on Hexareme during the last years of the Republic and elsewhere</ref>
