Description:
The RSI Hermes Warbond Edition represents a tactical pivot from specialized missile suppression to high-speed, high-volume logistics.
From: Aegis Sabre Firebird (Missile Interceptor)
To: RSI Hermes (Ultra-High-Speed Courier)
The Upgrade: This path trades the Firebird’s 24-missile barrage for the Hermes’ dual-grid cargo system. You are moving from a dedicated 0 SCU strike craft to a massive 288 SCU internal capacity—turning your "one-and-done" combat loop into a scalable, high-profit trade engine.
The Performance: Built on the robust Apollo-derived chassis, the Hermes offers superior survivability with 4x Size 2 shields compared to the Firebird’s fragile stealth frame. Its 1075 m/s NAV speed ensures that while the Firebird hides from a fight, the Hermes simply leaves it behind.
The Warbond Deal: Choosing the Warbond Edition allows you to use fresh capital to lock in a discount on the Hermes' retail value. Any insurance perks on your Firebird, including any insurance, will transfer directly to the new hull.
