Lore
Hyperion Systems is multinational defence, security and aerospace company based on Ceres. It is the primary military contractor of Ceresian Economic Union and a wholly owned subsidiary of Standard Interplanetary Mining, a partially state owned mining conglomerate also based on Ceres. Whilst primarily concerned with the construction and maintenance of the CEU Fleet, Hyperion Systems also sells several of it's smaller models to private security companies, mercenaries and CEU endorsed privateers.

Description
Hyperion Systems ships are designed to fulfil a specific role in a fleet, with only a few multi-role vessels. These ships often prioritise speed over armour, and most avoid the added weight of industrial support systems in favour of superior performance in their role. Due to their specialisation, these vessels work most effectively as part of a fleet, where each ship's vulnerabilities can be mitigated through other ship's strengths.


Here's a rundown of the different roles in the Hyperion Systems Fleet. Some ships are capable of more than one role.

Scouts and Raiders
These ships are the fastest in the fleet and often carry forward facing direct fire weapons. They are designed to attack undefended targets or perform hit and run attacks against warships as well as providing intelligence on enemy fleet movements.

Ships: Imp, Seraph, Spectre, Merlin, Puma, Direwolf

Direct Attack
Direct Attack ships are made to engage enemy ships within turret range (800m), otherwise known as CQB. They will generally feature an ECM system in order to survive the engagement and always have forward facing direct fire weapons, typically rocket launchers.

Ships: Sparrowhawk, Sabretooth

Direct Defence
These ships are designed to hold the line against other CQB orientated ships. They will often have heavy armour and multiple turrets, as well as an ECM system and self-repair.

Ships: Cobra, Viper, Anaconda

Indirect Attack
Featuring missiles, grav guns and other exotic weapons, these ships attack enemy targets from distances greater than 800m. Munitions without weapon guidance are better suited for bombarding slow capital ships and stations. These ships are the most destructive in the fleet, but are expensive to use and are often made from multiple grids, making them difficult to construct in survival.

Ships: Kingfisher II, Merlin, Vulture, Snow Leopard, Wildcat, Direwolf, Gray Wolf, Vixen, Python

Indirect Defence
Carrying an abundance of rapid fire turrets, Indirect Defence ships are built to screen other vessels from enemy indirect fire and small attack craft. Not to be confused with Direct Defence ships, these vessels often sacrifice armour to gain better acceleration and agility, allowing pilots to rapidly reposition for the best firing arcs.

Ships: Imp, Falcon II, Gray Wolf, Rattlesnake

Support
These logistical ships are designed to support the fleet away from port. They will often feature less weapons and armour than others, but will usually have multiple industrial systems and/or the ability to carry other ships/vehicles.

Ships: Eagle, Gladius

Capital
The largest and most expensive ships in the fleet, these vessels can undertake all previous roles except scouting. They will typically excel in one or two roles, with formidable abilities in the others.

Ships: Beowulf, Dragon (Cancelled), Sphinx (Cancelled)


These ships will be space orientated. Workshop mods and DLC will not be used in these ships. Atmospheric Craft and Vehicles will be in the Hyperion Systems: Atmospherics Division Collection. Craft suitable for all environments with be in both collections.
