STRENGTHS

• Fast and agile: The Hermes corvette is a fast and agile ship for its size. Able to outmaneuver most ships of its class. This is due to its lack of hangar bay, heavy armor plating and the addition of a power engine.
• Firepower: With six laser cannons on each side, the Hermes can pack quite a punch. Although that punch is mainly focused on starfighters and bombers rather than large targets.

WEAKNESSES

• Low defenses: In order to achieve high speeds and maneuverability, the Hermes had to sacrifice most of its defenses. While it does possess standard levels of shielding and anti-missile defenses, it lacks heavy armor and shielding like most of the Arsenian fleet.
• High profile: While the Hermes has a narrow profile, it possesses a tall front fin. This fin is good for holding laser cannons, but gives a good target for ships coming in from the side.

DESCRIPTION
The Hermes is a simple ship for a common problem, how to deal with fighters and bombers. While the majority of the Arsenian fleet contains powerful vessels with good firepower and defenses, they all are all slow and easy targets for bombers and fighters. The Hermes was designed to solve this problem, with high firepower to match its speed and maneuverability, the Hermes is capable of deterring any smaller craft away from the big ships. Like pack animals, they circle larger vessels to keep them safe.

With a durasteel hull, alusteel skeleton, duraplast and plasteel interior. The Hermes has decent protection against starfighters and laser fire from bombers, but can't afford to go against much larger ships and expect good protection. Like all the Arsenian vessels, the Hermes has a Loki EWAR system to defend their communications and a Freyja communications systems which provides a safe communications network for the vessel.
