The Hyperion was a trireme captained by The Hydra, the Sage of the Gods of the Aegean Sea branch of the Cult of Kosmos.
During the Peloponnesian War, the Hyperion sailed on the waters south of the Peloponnese and crossed paths with the Adrestia, a ship commanded by the Spartan misthios Kassandra. During the resulting conflict, The Hydra was slain and the Hyperion sunk.[1]
