ヒューベリオン Hyperion
The most famous vessel of the Free Planets Alliance around 796 Space Calendar (487 Imperial Calendar), she was the flagship of Yang Wen-Li through most of his service as an admiral in the FPA space fleet. It was also the flagship of the 13th fleet, which was originally comprised of survivors from past battles and new blood fresh from training.

Hyperion is an older model command warship, previously the 3rd Remote Region flagship before it's reassignment to the 13th fleet. Inferior to the newer line of command cruisers (Patriclous type) with only 80% of the forward firepower, she also only carries 24 spartianarian one-man fighters.

The Hyperion would eventually come under the command of Willibald Joachim von Merkatz, while Yang transferred his flag to the lucky Battleship Ulysses. Eventually Hyperion took a critical hit, killing Merkatz, though it is not sure if the Hyperion was completely destroyed, or only crippled beyond repair. Regardless, her grave is just within the Alliance side of the Iserlohn corridor.

ブリュンヒルト Brunhild
Brunhild was an experimental design with a high emphasis on defense. It's structure, combined with additional defense screens, theoretically gave it a high survivability rate. It's many brushes in combat (given the mentality of her commander, Reinhard von Lohengramm), are testament to the survival power of the battleship.

As an experimental design, Brunhild was considered for mass production, but her costs went beyond ten times that of the original estimate. Nevertheless, copies are said to exist. When she was delivered to Reinhard's command, her trials had already been completed. It is thought that Reinhard was allowed command of the Brunhild because it's over-reliance on defense was not desired by Imperial commanders.

Brunhild would survive the duration of the entire series, first appearing at the battle of Legmiza and conveying Reinhard to Phezzan at its end.

--------------------------------

My first work since finishing college. It's not much- just touching up two already-existing drawings, but it feels good to be doing something nonetheless.

I do redesigns because it allows me some latitude for creativity while also meaning no worry on getting the designs stolen by others. I'm looking to pad my portfolio with other works, so I'm hoping potential employees won't mind fan-art as an example of my talents.
