Common Expressions: Hyperion

Expressions Definition
CAT1-X Hyperion Gundam series In mid CE 71, the Earth Alliance's Eurasian Federation created three of its own advanced prototype mobile suits, separate from the EA's GAT-X series. These were the CAT1-X1/3 Hyperion Unit 1, CAT1-X2/3 Hyperion Unit 2, and CAT1-X3/3 Hyperion Unit 3. The three units were identical, except for their colorations. They were armed with a "Zastava Stigmate" beam submachinegun and 5 "Romteknica" beam knives (one stored on each limb, and one mounted as a bayonette on the submachinegun), which were powered by their own independent batteries (and thus drew no power from the suits' batteries). This also made the beam knives usable as throwing weapons. The beam submachinegun's battery was stored in a "clip" which could quickly and easily be replaced, and while its shots were weaker than those of standard beam rifles, its rate of fire was much greater. In addition, the Hyperions were carried two head-mounted CIWS guns and a pair of "Forfanterie" beam cannons on their backpacks, which folded over the shoulders in use. Their main feature, however, was the "Armure Lumiere" mono-phase lightwave shield system. This system consisted of 7 emitters, one on each arm and 5 on the backpack. The arm-mounted emitters could generate triangular beam shields, and the backpack-mounted ones could project an energy globe similar to the "Umbrella of Artemis" that completely surrounded the mobile suit, protecting it from any attacks. However, this barrier would completely drain the suit's batteries in approximately 5 minutes. The beam submachineguns could vary their beam speed in order to fire through this barrier. (references)
