'''GNS Hermes (CL-73)''' is a [[Disciple-class]] [[Light Cruiser]] based out of [[wikipedia:Houston, Texas|Houston, Texas]] in [[Sixth Fleet]].  
'''GNS Hermes (CL-73)''' was a [[Disciple-class]] [[Light Cruiser]] of the [[Grayson Space Navy]], based in [[wikipedia:Houston, Texas|Houston, Texas]]. Commissioned in 2012 with High Admiral Nicholas Macon Hurst embarked, she was recommissioned in 2015 before her final crew upgraded to the superdreadnought {{gns|Seneca Gilmore|SD-37}} in 2017.
==History==
==History==
''Hermes'' was first brought into commission on 23 March 2012 under the command of [[CDR]] Keith Manley, [[GSN]], by order of [[Bureau of Ships|BuShips]]. This ship was originally a [[Chapter#Correspondence_Chapter|correspondence chapter]] based in [[wikipedia:Houston, Texas|Houston, Texas]], expanding the distance participation options in [[Fourth Fleet]]. This ship became the flagship of the new [[High Admiral]], Nicholas Macon Hurst, after his predecessor, [[Lady]] Kirylyn Dreamer, [[Steadholder]] Blackbird stepped down after years of service due to poor health. The ''Hermes'' recruited heavily through cons in Texas when their efforts were rewarded with an upgrade to {{gns|Barbara Bancroft|SD-32}} on 28 October 2012. The ''Hermes'' was then put into the [[Active Reserves]].
''Hermes'' was commissioned on 23 March 2012 under the command of [[CDR]] Keith Manley, based in [[wikipedia:Houston, Texas|Houston, Texas]], with High Admiral Nicholas Macon Hurst embarked as flag officer.<ref name="BSD1203-05">[[Orders:BuShips Directive 1203-05]]</ref> On 28 October 2012 the crew upgraded to the superdreadnought {{gns|Barbara Bancroft|SD-32}}, and ''Hermes'' was placed in reserve.<ref name="BSD1210-10">[[Orders:BuShips Directive 1210-10]]</ref>


What goes around, comes around, and the High Admiral Hurst himself stepped down to become Baseball Commissioner. However, the siren song of command called to him again, and he formed the {{gns|Reuben|DD-10}}, the first [[Grayson]] meeting chapter, again based in [[wikipedia:Houston, Texas|Houston, Texas]]. It didn't take long for them to get enough members to get upgraded, and now-[[CDR]] got his old flagship out of mothballs, and took command of the '''GNS Hermes'''. Because this was a meeting chapter, it made more sense to place the ship in [[Sixth Fleet]], aligning itself with the nearest [[RMN]] ships in [[wikipedia:Oklahoma|Oklahoma]].
She was recommissioned on 2 September 2015 under [[CDR]] Nicholas Macon Hurst and assigned to [[Sixth Fleet]].<ref name="BSD1509-02">[[Orders:BuShips Directive 1509-02]]</ref> Command passed to [[CDR]] [[Lady]] Kirylyn Dreamer, [[Steadholder]] [[Blackbird]], on 30 October 2016.<ref name="BSD1610-12">[[Orders:BuShips Directive 1610-12]]</ref> On 9 April 2017, Dreamer's crew upgraded to the superdreadnought {{gns|Seneca Gilmore|SD-37}}, and ''Hermes'' was returned to the reserve.<ref name="BSD1704-06">[[Orders:BuShips Directive 1704-06]]</ref>
 
Their recruiting continued to expand, which meant more Grayson ships were created, forming [[Task Group 61.1]], and promoting Hurst to [[Captain]] in charge of the group. However on 22 August 2016, the captain physically left [[wikipedia:Texas|Texas]] and a new commanding officer was needed for the ''Hermes.'' In a strange turn of fate, the original High Admiral had moved to the area, and stepped up to leave her steading to take command on 30 October 2016.
