| The Hermes was designed to supply Explorator and Rogue trader fleets
during Deep space missions as well as providing a means of transporting
important cargoes through hostile territories. Due to the phenomenal
amount of Pirate activity in Angelus Sector and the need to safely transport
cargoes of Lacrymata the Hermes Class is becoming more and more popular.
Currently there are eight Hermes Class cruisers operational within
Angelus Sector, the most famous of which is the Godspeed which successfully
destroyed the Carnal Joy, a Murder class cruiser, during the blockade
run at Orion's Sound. Though it was ultimately destroyed it allowed
the smaller transport ships to evade their opposition and deliver their
cargo of weapons and supplies to the forces on Zephyr IV safely. |
