The Taikeen Empire is known throughout space as a highly advanced robotics oriented culture. Their knowledge of civilian and combat mecha being highly prized in almost every corner of the galaxy; the Blue Devil automated mecha is their most popular mass-production unit. No one outside of the Taikeen Empire knew that the mecha produced for sale were but a shadow of what the Taikeen kept to themselves.

Over time, their knowledge of robotics became coveted and an invasion was initiated against the Taikeen homeworld. As expected, the invaders came upon a large force of Blue Devils and other defenses, but were successful in advancing the line of battle towards the Taikeen cities.

Once the invaders reached the cities, the first Taikeen casualty was inflicted. The Taikeen struck back with a terrible force. Massive forms emerged from rivers, walked from the exploding sides of buildings, even rose from below the streets.
The Taikeen deployed their first Titan class mecha in the year 2734. The Hyperion had entered the field of battle.

These new mecha unleashed a torrent of firepower upon the attackers in a blinding wave of artillery and machine gun fire, rockets, and missiles. After the initial barrage, the true terror of the Hyperion became evident. The machines were fast and incredibly responsive to their operators; in addition to sporting the armor that most Titan class mecha are known for. The unique design and massive legs allowed the Hyperion to leap about the battlefield with the nimbleness seen only in powered armor.

The Titan's quickly closed with their attackers and used their powerful arms and massive hands to crack the armor that didn't fall to their other ordnance. It quickly became evident that hand to hand combat was the primary weapon of the Hyperion.

The Hyperion is not invulnerable by any means, and the invading forces quickly learned to target the support struts to limit the maneuverability of the Titans. Even so, the commanders of the invasion force were not prepared to deal with an army of combatants ensconced in 113 tons of armored, leaping, tearing weaponry.

Soon after, the invasion broke upon the wrath of the Taikeen Empire and the foreign forces were expelled from the planet.
