Description

Battlefield reconnaissance has revealed at least these facts about the Hermes:

• Power of sound-- Armed with a sonic cannon, the Hermes fires blasts of sonic energy that can break apart bones and buildings. The wave it emits damages anything in its path. While it may not do much to vehicles, infantry will find themselves tossed around as if they were toys.
• Drop the bass -- Sonic blasts will not only destroy buildings, but will also kill occupants inside of the structure. This makes the Hermes a very effective anti-garrison vehicle.
• Miner discomfort-- When ordered, the Hermes will lay a field of mines around it in a small radius. Being amphibious, it can do this in the water as well, denying the enemy access to important points on both land and sea. The vehicle can also clear the mines of enemies as well, acting as both a minelayer and a mine clearer.
• Thin skinned -- While a nightmare against infantry and structures, against vehicles it is the opposite. Sonic blasts will not do much damage to vehicles, and its armor leaves much to be desired.
