The Hyperion is a Dreadnought class warship for the Post-Human Coalition.

Area Dominance Dreadnought - Overwhelms large armies with rapid firing weaponry and tough survivability.

Background

The Hyperion was the first, and for a while, only, Dreadnought. It is an area superiority platform. Its array of weaponry will destroy virtually any army of any size on a given world largely without backup.

When first launched, it was simply referred to as “The Titan”. A doomsday weapon designed to make clear to any PHC renegades that their defiance and law breaking was futile.

An area dominance dreadnought, the Hyperion is a capital ship with superb staying power in the field. Its heavy armor that absorbs up to 60% of incoming damage and its high hit points make this dreadnought very difficult to take down. 

In addition to its already solid defenses, the Hyperion’s WRX 1020 Pulse Cannons fire a stream of medium-range energized particles that break down the molecular bonds of the foes they impact. Its 8 Hercules MK-1 Dual Autocannons fire explosive shells at nearby targets and force them to give this massive ship a wide berth.

Game Usage

  • The Hyperion can be treated as a tier 3 Zeus and Athena combined, although less so of the later. It can deal with most cruisers / frigates armies with ease, especially with supporting army and kiting. Once Self-Sealing Hull is acquired, it becomes almost impossible for cruisers / frigates armies to kill a kiting and well-controlled Hyperion and the situation would call for a Prometheus and/or Savager.
  • The Hyperion weaponry offers generic, but good damage, thus allowing it to engage almost any targets on the ground, posing serious threat if the opponent is ill-prepared for it.

  • It's important to take favorable engagements with the Hyperion until Self-Sealing Hull is acquired as the damage taken is quite permanent and would take Medics and/or Repair Bays a long time to fully repair a Hyperion.
