Early on in the Great Crusades, the Imperium recognized the need for protection against
enemy attack craft and torpedoes. To counter this threat, they created the Hermes
class destroyer - essentially an escort ship covered with laser turrets designed with only
one target in mind: enemy ordnance. These turrets were given some of the most
sophisticated targetting arrays in use by the Imperium, able to target individual
torpedoes or attack craft with pinpoint accuracy. In the standard Imperial Navy
battlefleet there are dozens of Hermss, designated with the task of protecting the
Imperium's capital ships.

Special Rules:
- Hermes must be in a squadron with a capital ship. Only two Hermes can join a
capital ship to form a squadron, however, and they may not bring the total number of ships
in a squadron to over 6.
- Hermes may add their turrets to any capital ship they are included in a squadron
with, as long as they are within squadron coherency. They may not use their turrets
to defend both themselves and the capital ship they are tasked with escorting in the same
turn.
Example: A Hermes in a squadron with a Mars class battlecruiser may add its 2
turrets to the Mars' 3 turrets, giving it a total of 5 turrets.
- A Hermes' weapons batteries have had special targetting systems installed to target
enemy ordance accurately. For this reason, they hit ordance on a roll of 5+ instead
of a 6.
