In January 2007, plans began in the small town of Pacific, Washington, to launch a new chapter of the Colonial Defense Forces. In the
months that followed, many discussions took place, that would see these plans begin to take shape. First came the decision that it was
to be a Mercury Class Battlestar. One of the finest ships in the fleet. Then, came the tough part. This Battlestar would need a name. But
not just any name, one that was fitting of the course it would soon set. A name that had a purpose, a meaning, a history to it. After much
deliberation, It was decided that this fine ship would be named after the Greek Titan, Hyperion.

Scanning the vast Colonial database, a small piece of information was stumbled upon by the future crew.

As a wise man once said, "There are those that believe that life here, began out there". Armed with those famous words, there could be
no more fitting name to give the Hyperion, as it is the sun, the moon, and the stars that guide our vessel, as we strive to keep humanity
alive.

On May 15, 2007, the Hyperion was commissioned as part of the Colonial Defense Forces Third Fleet. Thus beginning the adventures of
the crew. The journey thus far has been one of friendship, good times and a few hardships along the way. The prospects of what are to
come are rather intriguing.

The crew members aboard the Hyperion consist of a wide variety of people that are involved in all kinds of science-fiction, fantasy,
horror, anime and many other forms of fandom. Chapter meetings and events range from convention attendance and participation to
charitable events, community activities and service projects.

"Of Hyperion we are told that he was the first to understand, by diligent attention and observation, the
movement of both the sun and the moon and the other stars, and the seasons as well, in that they are caused
by these bodies, and to make these facts known to others; and that for this reason he was called the father
of these bodies, since he had begotten, so to speak, the speculation about them and their nature."
