Information

Battlegroup Hyperion is a group of Auxesian Defectors who have grown disillusioned with Auxesia. They feel it has lost its direction and forgotten the values it was founded upon. Hyperion seeks to return to those times through war against its progenitor, forcefully dismantling and taking over its leadership, before founding the Hyperion Free State in Inverness - with Forres as a capital - funded through the sale of alien technology and AP- ships to other states and groups.

History

Maria Susan was a distinguished captain in the Auxesia Naval Fleet. Once a Freelancer, she had been drawn to Auxesia by their promise as a sturdy bulwark against the Nomad threat. Initially she had planned to join The Order, however, she had become aware of the extreme methods they had adopted after Toledo and their extreme policy when it came to handling Nomadic materials. She had then considered The Core, but beneath their shouts of heroism and strength, she saw something more twisted, evil and antagonistic.

Frustrated that she could suit neither role, she had almost given up her dream of following the footsteps of the Lone Star. Then, by pure chance, she had a run in encounter with Saphire Raven - the leader of Auxesia. After listening to convictions, Maria was sold. This group was perfect. It lacked the imperfections of Core and Order. It was as if both groups had fused into this future power against the Nomad threat, and retained none of their negatives. Wasting no time, Maria signed up. She was given command of a freshly built Pleco Gunboat, and a complementary mask, and was tasked with destroying Auxesia's enemies.

For the next year, life was pleasant. Maria, now Sentinel Annihilator, had asserted her position as a high ranking member of the Auxesian fleet. She had gained a sterling reputation among a handful of other exemplary pilots within the organisation. Maria had been the brain behind increasing the faction's numbers through the construction of robots, which had proven to be life-saving as recruitment waned and people realised they couldn't just make babies and use them as crew, or do anything crazy like hyper-acelerate their growth rate and turn them into adult super soldiers.

However, this happiness would not last for long. Over time, Maria began to see considerable shifts in the faction's ethos. Auxesia believed in keeping away from conflicts out of their concern, yet would frequently intervene in House politics and inter-factional wars, and try to challenge all the parties invovled. Auxesia had boasted it was inclusive, transhumanist, and wanted to protect and preserve the overall human race; yet their leader espoused viewpoints related to eugenics and the concept of inferior race. Auxesia had also begun to mingle with Nomadic forces and their allies, contradicting the goals they stood for.

Maria had seen enough. She gathered close friends and cohorts and defected from the group. With 2,000 people by her side, she fled from the Citadel and to Planet Forres in the Inverness system. Quickly, they constructed a new base of operations, in which they would conduct operations against the growing Nomad menace in the system and Auxesia itself.
