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. (DNT: 'The Capture of Iserlohn (Part One)', 'Interlude', 'The Verge of Death (Part One)', 'The Verge of Death (Part Two)', 'Amritsar')
Alliance Civil War
Following the disaster at Amritsar, the 13th Fleet became the Iserlohn Garrison Fleet, permanently stationed at Iserlohn, with the Hyperion serving as flagship for Admiral Yang. In 797 UC (488 IC / 3597 CE), it sortied against the forces of the National Salvation Military Council in the Alliance Civil War. (DNT: 'Amritsar', 'The Yang Fleet Mobilises', 'The Battle of the Doria Starzone')
Design
The Hyperion was a unique flagship that bears little resemblance to other flagships in the Alliance fleet or standard alliance battleships. It's pennant number prefix of '13FB09' probably indicates it was from an older generation of Alliance warships than those of the 'FB10' series which performed the overwhelming majority of observed fleet flagship roles as of 796 UC (487 IC / 3596 CE). It featured a blue color scheme and a hull layout which concentrated its substantial forward cannon armament near the dorsal side of the bow. It also lacked prominent antennae arrays, and sported large numbers of visible armament on the port and starboard side of the forward hull.
An arrangement of 9 launch bays on the port and starboard side of the rear hull were capable of launching two Spartanian fighters each, allowing for a complement of 36 Spartanian fighters. (DNT: 'The Verge of Death (Part Two)')
