------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
One of the few 'Mechs conceived and created in the post-Star League era,
the Hermes II serves the armed forces of the Free Worlds League as a heavy
scout. A relatively new design, the 'Mech first came off the production lines
in 2798.
In the interveneing years, the Hermes II has made itself a staple of the
Free Worlds Leage military. However, even with the upgrades performed in 3050
after the re-discovery of a considerable amount of Lost Technology, the Hermes
II still found itself behind the technological curve, as technology advanced
beyond the abilities of the design teams to keep up.
Inspired by the Enforcer III and Jaegermech III projects occuring within
the Federated Suns military, Irian Battlemechs was soon comissioned to begin
looking into a similar project with their mechs. The first prototype - the
Hermes III - was met with great applause
==Capabilities:==
Thanks to the useage of endo steel and an extra light engine, the mech is
able to make its main armament a Light Gauss Rifle, one of the newest weapons
in the FWL arsenal. Backing it up are a flamer, twin ER medium lasers, and an
ER small laser. All this is in addition to being able to keep its same speed,
making for a mech that is both fast and deadly. The trade-off, however, is
that the mech still has fairly thin armor, so the pilot must be careful in
battle.

Nice. Essentially a really fast light gauss. The armor actually isn't all that bad for its weight. You don't see many lights or light mediums with such a heavy weapon. Reminds me of a Hollander, but it doesn't suck like the Hollander did.

Well, the 3050 version had a UAC/5, so I decided to up the ante and go for a Light Guass.
BTW, have you seen my Cataphract III design? I slapped a RAC/2 on that one.
