Raider Hyperion Class Variants Raider Hyperion Class History There are actually three ships in this sub-class of the venerable EA Hyperion Class. These ships are the Gravedigger (Black stripped ship), Revenge (Red stripped ship), and Furious (Green stripped ship). Each came into existance after the Earth Minbari War, when battle sites couldn't be fully secured until after the war. The Revenge and Furious were taken during the war, and didn't turn up for some time in the shipping lanes. The Gravedigger had a long and hectic career, evading Centauri, Earth, Narn, and Minbari forces all the way. All three ships never really operated together, save one time during the Earth Civil War. There are reports of another Hyperion class ship in Raider service, but no name has been associated with it, nor has it ever engaged Earth Alliance vessels in combat. It is known to have Dark Grey stripes and operate the Raider Wolf Heavy Fighter. The Gravedigger comes from AoG's Showdowns-2 supplement, though no SCS was provided. The Revenge and the Furious were origionally first edition fan made ships. I've since lost the links to their SCS's online, but I can tell you that the Revenge is a creation of Alex Kettle, while the Furious was origionally dreamed up by Zebulin Magby. The last Hyperion mentioned is one that I made up.
