Earth Alliance Warlock Class EAS Hyperion (Yeah, I know it doesn't have the black background my other pics do, but, come on, do you really believe my other minis are in space? I'll get around to actually taking good, normal pics of the mini when I have more time.) Ship History In late 2260, just prior to the Earth Civil War, the origional Hyperion Class Heavy Cruiser, EAS Hyperion, was assigned to the Ch'Lonas Containment Fleet at Ross 128. She was to be in command of the forces located at the system's main jump gate. The Ch'Lonas were a constant threat to the EA's flank, but hadn't made an incursion in some time, so Earth Alliance was becoming a bit concerned. On 31 October 2260, a massive Ch'Lonas force jumped into the system and proceeded to try and force its way through the EA forces there. Unfortunately, a number of civilian craft, including two Star Liners, were near the jump gate awaiting their turn for departure. They attempted to evade, but the Ch'Lonas were right on thier tails. The Hyperion was the nearest ship and responded as best she could. The Hyperion managed to almost hold off the aggressors until reinforcements arrived, but with more and more Ch'Lonas jumping in, she was out-numbered, and out-gunned. The Ch'Lonas managed to critcally damage her in the few minutes before help arrived. Her captain decided there was only one thing that could give the civilians enough time to run, and sow enough confusion among the attacking forces that the rest of the EA forces could easily drive them back. The Hyperion undertook a maneuver that became quite popular during the Earth-Minbari war, but was usually a last ditch effort. She lurched forward and rammed the enemy flagship. With the loss of the command vessel, the enemy ships fell into disarray and were easy driven back by the EA reinforcements. The crews and passangers of the ships that were saved gave touching testimonials about the bravery of the crew of the Hyperion in the following inquiry as to her loss. The senate on Earth arranged for the memory of the ship and her crew to live on in a new incarnation. The seventh production Warlock (eleventh Warlock overall when taking into account the four prototypes) was to be named EAS Hyperion. The Warlock Class Hyperion was launched on 25 May 2262. She went onto distinguish herself in the Telepath and Drahk Wars. She survived past the time of the decommisioning of Babylon 5.
