The Hyperion (Starcraft)
Ah, the Hyperion. The Behemoth-class battlecruiser has served Jim Raynor (and the players) many years over the endless hours and hours of Starcraft and its sequels. It’s perhaps one of Blizzard’s most iconic locations, second only to Azeroth, and it’s easy to see why. The size and scope of the thing is simply massive, which makes it all the more impressive that Raynor and 400 soldiers were able to take the thing for themselves from Arcturus Mengsk.
It’s hard to imagine either the Hyperion or Raynor’s Raiders not appearing in some capacity in the Starcraft universe. The battleship has been home to countless allies and battles that players got to take part in, and serves as a turning point for Raynor himself. Hijacking the ship effectively turned his relatively small forces into a power to be reckoned with, one that was able to survive the Battle of Char and become the flagship of the Terran Dominion.
