Recognition Notes
The Hermes II HER-2S is a 40-ton scout that cruises at 65 km/h and tops out near 97. It carries a Flamer in the left arm, a Medium Laser in the right arm, and an AC/5 in the right torso, giving it a modest ranged punch alongside its scouting duties. The chassis carries enhanced communications gear and is built for easy servicing in the field. Irian BattleMechs Unlimited manufactures the type at its Irian facility, with additional production at Shiro III.
