Hyperion Defense Industries

“Where empires falter, we endure. Where order breaks, we prevail.”

Corporate History

Hyperion Defense Industries (HDI) was born from the lessons of war. Founded by Captain Gehrman Wolffe and a cadre of discharged UEEN veterans in the wake of the Second Tevarin War, the company began as the Old Hunters—a disciplined but modest mercenary outfit determined to keep the stars free of piracy and lawlessness.

The Hunters earned early recognition for their combat prowess, but their true legacy began with transformation. When the Human–Vanduul War erupted, they took heavy losses defending the frontier. Rather than collapse, they rebuilt. Under the leadership of a new command council known as the High Table, the Old Hunters restructured and rebranded as Hyperion Defense Industries.

This marked a shift from a mercenary company to a professional defense corporation—an organization designed not only to fight battles, but to sustain industries, protect assets, and shape outcomes across entire systems.

The Hyperion Model

Unlike traditional PMCs, HDI operates as a vertically integrated defense corporation. It is more than soldiers—it is an ecosystem of innovation, security, and stability that functions independently of any empire or crown.

Defense Contracting – Fleet-scale protection, convoy escort, and system security for governments and corporations.

Research & Development – Proprietary ship modifications, weapons, and battlefield technologies tailored for modern combat.

Expeditionary Control – Deployable task forces capable of stabilizing unstable systems, ensuring safety and profitability.

Private Enforcement – Targeted operations against piracy, insurgency, and organized crime—with discretion and efficiency.

Every contract is executed with military precision and tracked with corporate accountability, ensuring that clients see not only victory, but return on investment.

Current Operations

Hyperion’s capabilities have been tested against some of the greatest threats of the modern era:

XenoThreat Engagements – Acting as frontline contractors during CDF deployments, bringing decisive results where others faltered.

Nine Tails Suppression – Counter-piracy and disruption of organized syndicates in Stanton, protecting vital trade lanes.

Frontier Operations & Pyro Reclamation – Surveying and securing volatile systems. Long-term goals include stabilizing Pyro through coordinated reclamation and governance efforts.

Hyperion does not seek conquest for its own sake. It fills the void where bureaucracy and empire fail—providing stability in exchange for trust, contract, and commitment.

The Initiatives

Hyperion’s strength is built upon three corporate Initiatives, each representing a pillar of its operational doctrine. Together, they allow HDI to fight, build, and endure in any environment.

Helios Initiative

“Guardians of the Fleet. Masters of the Horizon.”

Helios secures Hyperion’s fleets, personnel, and orbital assets. Beyond defense, Helios handles exploration, medical support, and intelligence gathering—ensuring every mission begins and ends under Hyperion’s watchful eye.

Divisions

Fleet Division – Command of warships and escorts.

Helios Security Force – Boarding, FPS security, and anti-piracy interdiction.

Medical Division – Advanced triage, medevac, and recovery.

Exploration & Survey Division – Mapping unknown space and delivering actionable intelligence.

Eos Initiative

“We build the future. We fund the mission.”

Eos fuels Hyperion’s operations through commerce, industry, and innovation. It ensures that the corporation is not only self-sufficient, but profitable, efficient, and equipped for the challenges of tomorrow.

Divisions

Commerce Division – Buying, selling, and transporting commodities.

Industry Division – Mining, salvage, and large-scale resource gathering.

Manufacturing Division – Turning resources into finished assets and infrastructure.

Archeology Division – Studying ruins and artifacts for knowledge and opportunity.

Engineering Division – Ship outfitting, combat repairs, and base operations.

Eos Security Force – Protecting industries, convoys, and trade networks.

Selene Initiative

“On the ground, we are absolute.”

Selene delivers Hyperion’s power planetside. From infantry legions to armored units and atmospheric support, Selene ensures that when Hyperion sets foot on a world, it does so with authority and precision.

Divisions

Legion Division – Core infantry securing and neutralizing threats.

Armored Division – Deploying mechanized and armored vehicles.

Legion Air Wing – Transport and close air support.

Legion Venatorum – Specialized teams eliminating hostile fauna and high-value biological threats.

Corporate Identity & Values

Hyperion is neither an imperial bureaucracy nor a pirate cartel. It is a pragmatic defense corporation committed to results over ideology.

Efficiency – Contracts executed on time, under budget, with minimal collateral.

Honor – Reliability and trustworthiness define the Hyperion name.

Adaptability – Capable of thriving in any environment: space, ground, or industry.

To some, Hyperion is a mercenary army. To others, it is a lifeline. To all, it is a force that cannot be ignored.

Future Outlook

Hyperion Defense Industries does not merely react to threats. It shapes the battlespace of tomorrow.

As UEE bureaucracy strains under external wars and internal unrest, HDI positions itself as the only entity capable of securing lasting order.

The empire governs by law.
Hyperion governs by results.

“The birth of HDI has just begun—and the future belongs to those who can defend it.”
