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 be 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 Hyperion units 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 Shield s, and the backpack-mounted units 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 as well as the Forfanterie cannons could vary their beam speed in order to fire through this barrier. Hyperion Unit 1 was assigned to Canard Pars , a Coordinator born in the same "Ultimate Coordinator" project that produced Kira Yamato , but who had been rejected as a failure. Canard used his Hyperion to seek out Kira, thinking that if he killed the "successful" Ultimate Coordinator, he would prove that he wasn't a failed attempt after all. After the Earth Alliance acquired ZAFT 's Neutron Jammer Canceller technology, Canard was determined to upgrade Hyperion Unit 1 with an N-Jammer Canceller and nuclear reactor, eliminating any time constraints on its beam barrier. He fought several battles with Prayer Reverie of the Junk Guild and his YMF-X000A Dreadnought , hoping to take its N-Jammer Canceller , and destroyed Hyperion Unit 2, piloted by Balsam Arendo, when he deserted from the Eurasian Federation, stealing its beam submachinegun for increased firepower and the remains of the mobile suit as a source of spare parts. Eventually Canard stole an N-Jammer Canceller and nuclear reactor from the Ptolemaeus lunar base, and called his upgraded mobile suit "Super Hyperion". Canard was nontheless defeated in a final batle with Prayer was defeated, but Prayer protected him from the blast of Hyperion Unit 1's overloading reactor. Canard later became a freelance mercenary with ties to the Junk Guild and Serpent Tail , abandoning his quest to kill Kira Yamato and piloting the YMF-X000A/H Dreadnought H , a rebuilt Dreadnought incorporating technology salvaged from the Hyperion Unit 1. Hyperion Unit 3 was destroyed near Artemis by MBF-P03 Astray Blue Frame Second L pilot Gai Murakumo , who quite by accident discovered that the anti-beam coating on his Tactical Arms sword allowed it penetrate the "Armure Lumiere" Beam Shield .
