Hermes Class Supply Cruiser

 


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.
