The GTC Hyperion was developed shortly after the Second Shivan Incursion as a testbed for fusing Vasudan energy reactors with a Terran hull, preceded by the success of the Deimos corvette. The Hyperion combines the anti-fighter capabilities and speed of the Aeolus and the armor of the Leviathan. As such, the Hyperion is a formidible target for strike craft to engage. The Hyperion was the first Terran ship to mount new pulse weaponry, after successful testing on Vasudan ships. The Hyperion is rapidly filling the ranks of the GTVA, phasing out earlier cruiser models.

''For one of Blue Planet's next-generation warships, the Hyperion is a little underwhelming; her SBlue beams are fairly anemic, if not as poor as the SGreen, and she lacks the firepower or endurance to fend off fighters. Her pulse weapons do give her good standoff defense against incoming bombers, however, and on higher difficulties, they can pose a serious threat to fighters. All in all, while a useful warship, it's easy to see why the GTVA retains and continues to produce the Aeolus in the Blue Planet era.''

''A few weakness in its design allow it get easily tackled by bombers and fighter swarms if used correctly. The front of it has no guns other than its two front firing beam cannons that don't even fire at warships half the time. The back of it is also a good bet, but be mindful of the engine wash. Attacking it from the top, sides, or bottom is a more effective way of committing suicide; you will die really fast.''

''Against Shivan fighters and their swarm attacks in Age of Aquarius, it's better than the [[GTC Fenris|Fenris]] and [[GTC Leviathan|Leviathan]], but its anti-Shivan-fighter capabilities are not on par with the [[GTC Aeolus|Aeolus]]. It will cope reasonably well with bombers, with 4 [[Terran Turret 2]]s but prioritize any heavy assault fighters that target this. In War in Heaven these cruisers are remarkably effective against Federal fighters, nearly as effective as the venerable [[GTC Aeolus]] and your [[UEF Kentauroi|Kentauroi]] will not last long in the pulse cannon fire. If you're attacking one, approach it when possible from the rear. When that's not an option target the weapons system and try to take it out at range, or as quickly as possible. In the anti-warship department, a Hyperion is about as effective as a pair of Cyclops toting bombers, if a fair bit more survivable.''}}

Tech Room Description

The GTC Hyperion is the first class of terran cruiser to be commissioned since the second great war. Combining the anti-fighter capabilities and speed of the outgunned Aeolus and the armor of the Leviathan, the Hyperion is a formidible target for strike craft to engage. In addition, it has been fitted with two advanced beam cannons, which draw their power directly from the main engines. A step above the standard armament for a cruiser, the Hyperion packs as much forward punch as a Deimos with a much smaller crew compliment. The hyperion is rapidly filling the ranks of the GTVA, pasing out earlier cruiser models.

Veteran Comments

Please read the Veteran Comments policy before editing this section.


The Hyperion looks like the Aeolus, but is not as effective as the Aeolus. Its guns, particularly AAA and flaks, lack the Aeolus' field of fire and frequently fail to engage targets even at relatively low angles of depression or elevation.


Large, bulky, and poorly armored cruiser. Usually comes with comparable firepower to Aeolus in form of pair of small beams, but it has worse setup of anti-fighter turrets. Default table comes with paired LRBGreen as a joke. In The Scroll of Atankharzim it comes with pair of MGreens providing it with decent anti-warship damage output.

If you want to engage it, park yourself very close to the hull, below one of the beams. It's one of several blind spots. Engine is another one.

Used to be a popular choice of modmakers before HTL era, and was among the very first hi-poly assets. Can be found mostly in old mods and now rarely used. HTL comes with Scroll turret setup.
