Launched into space in the 2771 AD, Hyperion was one of twelve ships that were operated through the Titan Project, a collaboration between the nations of Earth with the objective to explore other galaxies and expand the human civilization in different worlds. Following the nuclear crisis on Earth in 2789, which wiped out the whole planet, eleven of the twelve ships were destroyed through numerous accidents before reaching their destinations. The Hyperion has become the sole survivor of the Titan Project.
The Hyperion has the ability to function as a space colony, solar powered to provide the crew with storage, nourishment, shelter, and security for the voyage. The metallic blue fortress has been occupied with a 1000 member crew. When it crash-landed on the planet, many parts of the ship were damaged due to the impact.
