The name of the Caduceus comes from the Greek word caduceus, which is the symbol of two snakes wrapped around a winged staff, commonly associated with the messenger of the gods, Hermes. In Reloaded, its captain, Ballard, offers to remain behind and wait for contact from the Oracle. While receiving her message, the crew member Bane was attacked by Smith, who overwrote his mind. During the defense of Zion, Bane/Smith killed the entire crew and used the ship's EMP to disable at least five ships (including itself, The Icharus, The Gnosis, and The Novalis). Bane is the only survivor and is saved by the Mjolnir.
