Description: on a detachment level, the Hades is often launched singularly from the hangar bays of a low-flying Condor or in swarms from orbiting transports. Well armored for a vessel of its size, it can often survive a few hits on its descent from personnel and small anti-aircraft fire, but would have a very hard time standing up to weapons designed to deal with larger craft. It is equipped with a single uni-pulse cannon to help clear landing zones of hostiles and debris – with a limited field of fire to the nose of the ship.
Each Hades can be packed with up to 50 combat-ready soldiers and their standard gear, trading pleasant amenities like food processors and sonic showers out to make room for weapon racks and barracks benches. While the Earth Force design teams claim otherwise, there is much debate as to whether or not the Hades has adequate inertial dampeners to keep the ‘drop’ from bothering the GROPOS. There is a saying amongst EA ground soldiers – ‘Every Hades smells like a rookie’s last meal.’
