A Mongoose 2e design. With communications limited to the speed of jump, the most difficult operational problem confronting fleet commanders is the transmission and receipt of timely intelligence reports and command directives. The Hermes-Class Fast Fleet Courier is intended to provide naval commanders with the capability of transmitting orders and information across sectors in relatively short periods of time. Comes with 0.55 dtons of cargo space for very small custom loads.
With thrust 6 and its fuel processing capability, this J6 courier can conduct turnaround in less than 48 hours if fuel skimming is required. It is equipped with purely defensive weaponry, and only holds the sand in the turrets, designed to encourage its captains to flee combat and get its information payload where it is intended. It has no medbay or medic, but the crew has an Advanced AutoDoc for treatment options.
