Summary
The Hyperion is the Gallente combat battleship. It is bonused for hybrids, but has no preference between railguns or blasters. The Hyperion is typically not a popular ship; the Megathron has similar firepower and fleet PvP performance, while the Dominix's selectable damage types make it superior for most PvE activities. However, it's one of the only Gallente ships that can fit an acceptable sniper fit for incursions, and the Hyperion excels in small gang and solo PvP situations where logistics isn't available.
The Hyperion's 125m3 dronebay allows the ship to fly a full flight of Heavy or Sentry drones. Combined with its blaster bonuses, a fully skilled Hyperion firing Void L ammo has the highest paper DPS of any T1 battleship in the game, provided it can get within range of the enemy.

- ^ Shield Upgrades IV is required for the Large Shield Expander II module.
- ^ Shield Operation IV is required for the EM Shield Compensation skill.
- ^ Hull Upgrades IV is required to fit the Damage Control II module.
- ^ Propulsion Jamming is a needed to use a stasis webifier.
- ^ Target Painting III is only needed if you'll use a Target Painter module.
- ^ Jury Rigging III is a required for the Shield Rigging skill.
- ^ Controlled Bursts is useful for all hybrids and energy turrets, but useless for projectiles as they do not use cap to fire.
- ^ Small Hybrid Turret III is a starter skill, but this is included in case you have to crosstrain into another races weapon system.
- ^ Gallente Frigate III is a starter skill, but this is included in case you have to crosstrain out of your initial race.
- ^ Afterburner III is required for High Speed Maneuvering.
- ^ High Speed Maneuvering is required to fit the Prototype 100MN Microwarpdrive I module for headquarter sites.
- ^ Drones V, Light Drone Operation V and Amarr Drone Specialization I is required to use Acolyte II. Consider training Medium Drone Operation V to be able to use Infiltrator II drones as well. It's acceptable to skip this skill initially if you can use other drones, like Warrior II drones. But training this up only takes 20 hours.
- ^ Drone Durability I is required to use shield maintenance drones.
- ^ Repair Drone Operation II is required to use light and medium shield maintenance drones. If you have room for heavies they require Repair Drone Operation III.
- ^ Shield Emission System III is required to use shield maintenance drones.

- With a good offgrid booster pushing perfect siege boosts you can drop the Damage Control II in favour of a fourth Magnetic Field Stabilizer II.
- The EM Ward Amplifier II is primarily used to allow you to refit for assaults more easily, but also serve as a cap reliver compared to the active hardener. You can continue to use the regular EM Ward Field II for vanguards, if you wish.
- If you can upgrade to T2 guns (Neutron Blaster Cannon II), you may want to bring Null L as well as the Faction Antimatter, which will be more effective for targets beyond ~15km.
Tactics
The Hyperion is a popular ship for those starting to fly incursions whilst they are upskilling for Pirate Battleships. The posted fit for Vanguard Fleets lists the ammo to use as Caldari Navy Antimatter. Recently I've been using Null L ammo and I've been having a lot of success with it.
It has less DPS per shot than the antimatter rounds however due to the much greater range I find that I'm landing many more hits, consequently my DPS is higher. That being said I always fly with both ammo types in my hold as at very close ranges the antimatter ammo is the better.
Important Note: To use Null L ammo your guns must be Tech 2.

This vessel qualifies for the University PYOS and BYOM programs.
