was watching Babalyon5 disk set, ship on there was named Hyperion and it stuck in my head until i created something; utterly random design trying to use a rac and lasers, its more fluff then specs but eh it was fun to design, is slightly munchy but isnt bad for a mech of its tonnage. enjoy.

Overview:
Hyperion Project: the idea.. A mech large enough to take a
beating, yet fast enough to outrun or at least stay ahead of the
competition. A joint idea between NAIS, Luthien Armor works and
St.Ives with numerous Clan components and even a few techs; the
design itself sat on their boards for many years, incomplete other
then as anything then a few schematics and blueprints; a half built
skeleton hidden away inside a secret hanger. 3059 rolls around..
Wars, problems with funding, the usual happens when politics and
rights gets in the way of technological advancement the project
itself was lost all but for one man; the design itself stolen by
accident by a small time band of raiders as the semi completed design
was in transport for further work.
Jump-ship to ship ending up inside the Circinus’s outskirts.
Forgotten and well more or less ignored until roughly 3062. During
the action of both TFS and the Blake risings, this design was found,
and due to the advanced technology inside it, mostly involving the
experimental compact heat sinks and the armor, it was assumed to be a
Clan mech.
Rebuilt using a mixture of components, the design finished it was
quickly pressed into service. Kept secluded by the Preheipary, it was
shuttled world to world, used as a growing but short lived merc unit
called Harrogaths harassers; a group that quickly fell apart during
the chaotic warring years.
Capacity wise the mech is a single design, a unusual hybrid of
standard parts, older generation laser weapons and some rather
advanced heat sinks and engine capacity. Its speed is higher then
usual for such a heavy mech, and its armor allows it to soak attacks
that could cripple some mechs of the same tonnage. Due to active
combat of course, the armor is a patchwork underneath the ferro
fibrous plating.
Due to the variability of war of course, the configuration has
changed several times, from a PPC being swapped out for dual large
lasers, the small pulse lasers that were originally four, being
replaced with a set of standard small lasers. The occasional
reports, battle data and even eyewitness reports have given this
single mech as being all over and even carrying different weapons at
the time it has been seen; if it is a omni mech is not known. What is
known is the mech is fast, and good at its job, the pilot or pilot(s)
never speak other then using clipped Clan words, spoken through a
synthesizer of some kind.
Its most recent incarnation carries a Rotary class two auto
cannon and the ferro armor has been replenished fully, improving its
impressive damage taking ability again, the somewhat massive XXL
engine, something of a hazard to internal damage has been given a
extra coat of ferro armor around it to slightly reduce the damage
that could be done to it and it has been seen , according to some
reports, in either the hands of Davion or Liao forces along their
respective boarders.
Some have described it as a strange mix between a Clint and a
Firestarter, just twice as ugly as in each time it changes hands
something is done to it by its user; the design little resembling the
original concept. Fast on its feet, equipped with jump jets and even
a functional ECM pod, the mech, though a singular design is a odd but
effective machine, even though its origins are not fully known and
the machine might prove a good design..
But, its expensive, out in a backwater and spends either a lot of
time changing hands due to raiding, thieves or even.. Card deals so
the design is likely to remain singular for some time. Unless of
course someone can track down the unit, units or group that is using
this mech or even mechs, if there is more then one of them from the
variability of the reports.
