RSI Hermes

flight-ready Transporter Medium Freight Size 5 since Alpha 4.6.0

Unlike its mythical namesake, the RSI Hermes is no trickster - it really is that fast. Featuring a bespoke, innovative thruster-package, an impressive array of defensive measures, and a sizeable cargo hold, the Hermes is ready to speed deliveries to their final destinations. Even to dangerous drop-offs other haulers wouldn't dare to go.
