- ==Description==
- ==Appearance==
- ==Advantages==
- *Very strong explosion value of 1500 (The same as Prototypes, an 87.5% larger nuke than Prometheus, coming in at a radius of 15,000 studs).
- *Effective at destroying large and sluggish ships due to the high damage output.
- *Has a high cargo hold of 2500 making it able to loot wrecks.
- *Ridiculous efficiency in sieges, due to the long range, massive damage, high health, and status as a Super Capital, which can scare off most enemies.
- ==Disadvantages==
- *Like most super capitals, this ship is vulnerable to swarming.
- *The Huge Torpedoes move at a snail's pace (300 studs/second), making it rather difficult to hit moving targets unless you're within very close range of them, or they are very large.
- **Additionally, the huge torpedoes have a very long reload time.
- *Somewhat sluggish maneuverability compared to some other super capital ships.
- == Strategy==
- *Travel in fleets so you are defended from other fleets or swarms.
- *Focus on larger targets at close range when you can to ensure that your weapons can land accurately.
- *Most ships will avoid combat with a '''Hyperion '''due to its high Alpha damage, and high damage output.
- *Even though this ship has a strong nuke, it is almost certainly not worth doing a suicide mission in this ship due to the expense.
- *Pick your battles: Unless you know you have a fleet you can trust and that the enemy team has neither lots of competent and coordinated players or tricks up their sleeve, it is almost always better to use a cheaper alternative.

- ==Trivia==
- *This ship was previously broken and mostly invisible due to meshing issues.

- *The small insignia of an eagle with a star could be a reference to Stellaris' Commonwealth of Man.
