Hermes (corporation)

Hermes Cargo and Passenger Transport (publicly advertised as simply HERMES) is a megacorporation dedicated to offering premiere cargo and passenger transport for systems within the Core of the Coalition of Congressional Republics. Hermes is one of the Coalition's largest transportation corporations, with only the Galactic Courier Service superseding Hermes in operational scope and assets.
Founded in 2247 as a competitor to the Galactic Courier Service in the wake of the end of the Corporate Revolution, Hermes provides top-of-the-line public transport for the star systems of the Core via its passenger spaceliners (both inter- and exo-atmospheric) in addition to cargo freighters. Alongside the GCS, Hermes contracts the Coalition government to lease ships under the Coalition Forces Authority as escorts to defend against piracy.
Currently, Hermes operates in all twelve star systems of the Coalition's core. Its most busiest transport lanes that generate maximum revenue is the Hathor-to-Abol line, which runs through the profitable star systems of Sol and Elpis and features the industrial giant of Hathor as one of its two termini. Coincidentally, Hermes manages most public exports and imports in the core, being under license by both the Coalition government and smaller corporations to export trillions of tons of foodstuffs, water, fuel, and objects annually.
