There are many reasons why spacers are anxious to travel past the border colonies - pirates, rogue asteroids and the dangers of travelling through uncharted space meant that few would ever think of voyaging past humanity's colonial borders. Occasionally, the desperate, ignorant or stupid would venture out here, trying to carve out new trade routes for fame or establish secret colonies on the fringes. Before and during the war, a single class of ship was usually the only thing which stood between life and death for those willing victims: the Mercury-class Destroyers.

  • There are many reasons why spacers are anxious to travel past the border colonies - pirates, rogue asteroids and the dangers of travelling through uncharted space meant that few would ever think of voyaging past humanity's colonial borders. Occasionally, the desperate, ignorant or stupid would venture out here, trying to carve out new trade routes for fame or establish secret colonies on the fringes. Before and during the war, a single class of ship was usually the only thing which stood between life and death for those willing victims: the Mercury-class Destroyers. Originally manufactured by Helios Weapons as a last-ditch effort to save themselves from bankruptcy, the Mercury, then known as the Georgian-class Civilian Courier, was originally designed as modular colony ship, but they soon found it had the potential for a heavy warship. Before they could get any profits off their design, economic pressures forced Helios to sell their assets to buyers, and the Mercury landed itself in SinoViet's hands. Under SinoViet's ownership and marketing strategy, the ships surged in popularity - its modular design, reliable technology and low selling price all contributed to its success. Though they fell out of the UNSC's favour about one and a half decades after they were first produced, they quickly found use with the CMA. It should be noted that, due to the Dormant-sponsored refitting project that occurred every five to ten years, the ships had a legendary service life - some ships were theorised to be over fifty years old by the time manufacturing ceased. Uniquely, many crews hesitated about signing their forms to be reassigned. Many who served on them had good opinions on the class, though engineers would have fits upon discovering that they were placed aboard one of these. This is because that, thanks to the hundreds of independent refitting programs that were both legal and less so, there was a high chance that the next ship they were transferred to would be radically different to the original blueprints. On the other hand, the well-thought out interior design, right down to the flight console, made stations surprisingly easy to use, making them popular in their crews. That said, it was always impossible to say for sure which systems would be present on an individual Mercury.
