EUNI Assessment: A prototype mobile suit originally developed in an attempt to develop a mobile suit scale version of the Umbrella of Artemis, the Hyperion is capable of projecting a barrier field capable of stopping virtually any ranged attack. The original design utilized ZAFT’s ultracompact battery technology, but it has benefitted from recent rapproachments with PLANT and now uses a nuclear reactor, providing effectively unlimited operation time. Hyperion’s beam machinegun can fire through it’s barrier when the barrier system is deployed. Threat Level: Moderate
