Editing UNSC Hermes II

Presumably a [[UNSC]] vessel. In a promotional [[Transmissions|transmission]] for [[Halo: Combat Evolved]] featured on [[Bungie]]'s website, the ''Hermes II'' received a message from the [[CAR-class]] [[Covenant]] Cruiser, the ''[[Contrition]]''.

''NOTE: Nothing else about this object is known. It is possible that the ''Hermes II'' is a station or even a planet. However it is referred to as a "SCS" class ship, the same letters which preceed the ''[[Pillar of Autumn]]''. Therefore it is possible that this is a [[Halcyon-class]] cruiser. It is impossible to confirm this.

It could be noted that "Hermes" is a name that has been assigned to many ships in the British Royal Navy, 10 in fact. As the UNSC does still seem to bear a fair deal of commonality with current real world military traditions, it is possible that such old naval traditions, such as new ships reusing old names, has continued.

==The Transmissions==

Before [[Halo 1]]'s release, a number of transmissions related to the game could be found on [[Bungie]]'s website. The transmissions are directly linked to the [[Cortana Letters]].

Below is an excerpt from the [[Transmissions]] that involved the [[Hermes II]]:

-The '''UNSC ''Hermes II'''''<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]''', ''page 274''</ref> was a [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC starship|vessel]]. In a promotional [[Transmissions|transmission]] for ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' featured on [[Bungie]]'s website, the ''Hermes II'' received a message from the [[Covenant]] {{Pattern|Ester|armored frigate}}, ''[[Contrition]]''.

-Little information about this vessel exists; it is even possible that the ''Hermes II'' was a [[Space station|station]] rather than a ship. However, it is referred to as an "SCS" class ship, the same letters associated with the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}. Therefore, it is possible that the ''Hermes'' is a {{Class|Halcyon|light cruiser}}.
