Service history
The Hyperion began its career as the flagship of Rear Admiral Yang Wen-li and the newly formed 13th Fleet in 796 UC (487 IC / 3596 CE). It participated in the capture of Iserlohn Fortress, and formed part of the massive Alliance fleet which invaded Imperial territory that same year. In the course of the Imperial counter-attack led by Reinhard von Lohengramm, the Hyperion was engaged against the Kempff Fleet and then the Kircheis Fleet, prior to participating in the Battle of Amritsar.
