Description

Released in an incomplete state to quickly fulfill an SLDF contract, the original Hermes eventually found a grudging place in militia forces across the Inner Sphere where its issues weren't as crippling. With the return of advanced technology, the Hermes became viable in front line units as a fast, if lightly armored, scout once again. The -1A model is a Succession Wars downgrade of the original -1S that removes Endo-Steel and Ferro-Fibrous components for more easily sourced items, and as a result is much more fragile than its predecessor. It is armed with two Medium Lasers and a Flamer.

Description

Released in an incomplete state to quickly fulfill an SLDF contract, the original Hermes eventually found a grudging place in militia forces across the Inner Sphere where its issues weren't as crippling. With the return of advanced technology, the Hermes became viable in front line units as a fast, if lightly armored, scout once again. The -1B model is an alternate variant of the downgraded -1A model that trades out the Flamer for another Medium Laser, leaving it with a total of Three.

Description

Released in an incomplete state to quickly fulfill an SLDF contract, the original Hermes eventually found a grudging place in militia forces across the Inner Sphere where its issues weren't as crippling. With the return of advanced technology, the Hermes became viable in front line units as a fast, if lightly armored, scout once again. Designed for the SLDF Royal Divisions, the -1Sb version installs an XL engine to free up tonnage for MASC and a Beagle Active Probe. The installation of Double Heat Sinks offsets the heat from a Small Laser, four Medium Lasers and a Flamer. It is an exceptionally well armored and armed scout.

With the return of advanced technology, the Hermes became viable in front line units as a fast, if lightly armored, scout once again. The -3S model, introduced by Irian BattleMechs Unlimited in 3043, includes Endo-Steel and Ferro-Fibrous components to reduce tonnage, but sheds precious armor for a MASC system, increasing its ground speed. Armed with two Medium Lasers, the -3S is a fragile scout, but with the addition of a Beagle Active Probe, it is undeniably effective.

Description

Based on the original Hermes, the Hermes II is a long time mainstay of the Free Worlds League, where it serves as the FWLM's premiere scout. Though not as fast as lighter offerings, its thick armor means that it is far more robust than most potential foes. At one point the most common alternate variant of the Hermes II, the -4K, also known as the Hermes III, replaces all of the standard model's weaponry with a pair of Large Lasers, giving it heavy firepower in return for a potentially crippling heat load., Released in an incomplete state to quickly fulfill an SLDF contract, the original Hermes eventually found a grudging place in militia forces across the Inner Sphere where its issues weren't as crippling. With the return of advanced technology, the Hermes became viable in front line units as a fast, if lightly armored, scout once again. Designed for export to the Draconis Combine, the -4K model is broadly similar to the -4S, using an XL Engine, Ferro-Fibrous and Endo-Steel components to maximize available weight. Where the -4K differs is its choice of weaponry as it is armed with six ER Medium Lasers and an ER Small Laser, giving it incredible damage potential for its size at the expense of crippling heat.

Description

With the return of advanced technology, the Hermes became viable in front line units as a fast, if lightly armored, scout once again. Designed similarly to the -4K export model, the -4M makes use of as much weight saving technology as possible, and arms itself with five ER Medium Lasers, supported by a C3i system and ECM. Its armor is still incredibly light, making it a specialist.

Description

Released in an incomplete state to quickly fulfill an SLDF contract, the original Hermes eventually found a grudging place in militia forces across the Inner Sphere where its issues weren't as crippling. With the return of advanced technology, the Hermes became viable in front line units as a fast, if lightly armored, scout once again. The -4S model represents a radical overhaul to the entire line, installing an XL Engine to radically increase its firepower and armor. Maintaining the MASC and ECM of earlier models, the -4S is armed with three Medium Pulse Lasers and nearly maximizes its armor, making it effective at harassment.
