Fleet Charm
A military starfleet operated by the Hyperion Federation. It is named after the 'flavour' of quark, charmed quarks.
It is significant for its contributions to multiple wars such as the Cypher Hyperquasar Annihilator War and 2nd HM-HF war. During the latter, it managed to hold off against multiple waves of HEX Mainframe onslaughts directly after each other. Despite the overwhelming odds, Fleet Charm used its superior equipment to decieve HM starships many times, such as Electromagnetic Decoys, holograms and very powerful electronic warfare.
The HF fleet also had a significant morale advantage. At the time they had no route of escape, so fought incredibly hard to preserve their lives. As such, each HF starship ended up obtaining kill ratios massively in their favour and mostly survivinig the engagements. 2000 HF lives were lost, but earned almost 30 000 kills.
Fleet Charm is led by aCataclysm - Class Star Annihilator along with a fleet of thousands of Hyperion - Class Worldships. These can combine to form an extremely large and effective battlegroup but spends most of its time split into the thousands of splinter fleets to allow it to cover more ground. Charm often shares experiences with other hyperionite fleets which can improve their combat capability. They have a culture that encourages supporting allied forces with knowledge.
Some crew members from the fleet have been captured by some enemies during wars however. The fleet also has a large ground combat force and these prisoners are often rescued by their allies within the fleet. Individuals are varey rarely captured from the HF forces in general and Fleet Charm is no exception. Many of these people are interrogated about HF technology in attempts to become able to reverse-engineer it, but they usually die before any useful information is leaked. Some do not share any through sheer will. The few individuals that do break have not been useful to other factions - they are soldiers, not engineers. Hyperionites being captured is rare in general as their Teleporter technology allows them to teleport any captured individuals back to the HF in almost all cases. Any information that is leaked inthis way is not sufficient to gain a full understanding of HF technology.
