Hegemony Fleet

Lore & Background

The Hegemony Fleet operates under the authority of the Hegemony CEO, Meina Gladstone, and is tasked with defending the WorldWeb—the network of planets connected by farcaster portals. The fleet's primary adversaries are the Ousters, genetically modified humans who fled the Hegemony's influence and have since launched an invasion of Hyperion. During the events of The Fall of Hyperion, FORCE fleets are committed to the Hyperion system, leaving other worlds vulnerable to a surprise Ouster counterattack that targets the WorldWeb itself. Admiral Lee sends a transmission showing an autopsy on a supposed Ouster from their battlefleet, but the body destroys itself in the same manner as Core cybrids, confirming that the supposed Ouster attacks are actually Core attacks. General Morpurgo leads a ship supposedly on its way to Hyperion with a Core deathwand technology designed to kill any human on the surface and all of the Ouster swarm. Instead, the General and his son time their transit so that they are inside the farcaster system during its destruction, destroying themselves along with the weapon, saving Hyperion.
