Hermes

The Hermes is a fast scout ship that was sent ahead of the Hephaestus, and also funded by the United Nations.

The current location of the ship is unknown, but it is assumed the Hermes crew scrapped it when constructing the Pioneer One outpost. The current whereabouts of the crew suggest that they have all perished due to alien attacks or natural causes. The occasional corpse of a crew member can be found as well.

An artist's depiction of the Hermes can be found on the Steam Artwork here.
