''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 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 UNSC Hermes II[1] was a UNSC vessel. In a promotional transmission for Halo: Combat Evolved featured on Bungie's website, the Hermes II received a message from the Covenant Ester-pattern armored frigate, Contrition.

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

The Transmissions[edit]

Before Halo: Combat Evolved'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.
