History

n the aftermath of the colonization of Yuma and with the production lines of Pecos working at maximum capacity, the Republic was once more looking towards re-taking Tau 44. A devious plan was created which the Crayter Republic to approve it. And so, preparations begun.

In 822 A.S. the Sabah shipyards received orders to build two Zephyrs at the utmost secrecy and a new battlegroup to be created, the Hyperion. It took the Republic a few months in which they build it and everyone feared for their lives,but with the return of the Vanguard fleet and the Sevastopol Division, the Republic felt safe enough to continue with their plans. Reorganizing the Fleet, they assigned a pair of Thanatos and a substantial numbers of Hydras with a full complement of Fighters.

Towards the end of the year, new orders arrived from the Admiralty along with a full complement of marines and a few supply ships. The Battlegroup was dispatched to Tau sector, to keep it out of sight until the time of the offensive. They were informed that also one more Battlegroup was to be in the area and they can also rely on Hades if there was any problem. The civilian ships where assigned to keep the battlegroup supplied with what they needed until the said time.

823 A.S. Orders came from the Admiralty to begin harrasing the Gallic lines and to cause as much havoc as possible along with other designed units. Nyx and Pytho squadrons were released from the Hyperion and Hydra's were getting into action. Their target systems: Tau 23 and Orkney. Weeks passed and the Hyperion Battlegroup were doing their job, maintaining radio silence and striking at convoys and lone groups and then quickly retreating to the safety provided by the Battlegroup, and their willpower was going strong as they heard the news of Crayterian gains in the system. A few months later, the Hyperion was sent to Tau 31 alongside the Battlegroup Atlantis and CIS Zeus squadron. Mission was to destroy all reinforcements that may come from Leeds and in 14 days to retreat back to Tau 23. Towards the end of the campaign, the Atlantis was sent to Tau 44 to finish the job and the Achilles was ordered to guard the Tau 44 jumphole in Tau 23 system. The campaign was a success and the Admiralty ordered the Hyperion group some well deserved R&R.

Present Day

The Gallic are still a threat even with the Crayterian fleet harassing the supply lines, the Gauls represent a threat to Bretonia and the Republic and the Hyperion was ordered back into action,their orders to disrupt the supply lines and destroy any Gallic reinforcement in the Tau sector and to stop any attempt of gaining a foothold in the New London System.

Alongside the battlegroup,the same number of civilian ships were assigned to provide supply and credits for the maintenance, which gave the Battlegroup their autonomous power and ability to stay away from the Crayterians space.

The Hyperion Group is acting under orders from President of the Crayter Republic and Fleet Admiral, being one of the few semi-independent entities in the Republic.
