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 rather than a ship. However it is referred to as a "SCS" class ship, the same letters which precede the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}. Therefore it is possible that this is a [[Halcyon-class]] cruiser. It is impossible to confirm this.

==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]]:

*SCS [[Hermes II]]

Through war we will teach your heresy.<br />
Through battle we will teach your frailty.<br />
Through death we will teach your fate.
