Lambda 3-7T
A Hyperion Federation Freelancer Starship who participated in the HF-Xalarin Council war.
Lambda 3-7T liked using deception in war. A lot of it's body was housed with HF holographic projectors and Electromagnetic Decoy Guns. These would be used to great effect in fooling enemy forces, who were often pulled into disadvantageous positions. As the XC learned these tactics, they sometimes presumed real HF forces as fake, who would then exploit poor positioning. It could be incredibly difficult to fight against.
Lambda 3-7T was, therefore, fitted with large, powerful photon thrusters and relatively weak armour and shields, and surprisingly not as well armed as one would expect for a freelancer. It's raw power still largely exceeded that of almost all other starships in the universe, as that is what freelancers were known to do. It could perform incredibly fast maneuvers which would be used to even greater effect and for evasive moves. It was also armed with photon cannon CIWS weapons. However, the XC was at one point aiming a surface to orbit particle cannon at Lambda 3-7T while it was orbiting a XC world. It eventually realised that an Irziell, called Transparent Déng, would sacrifice themself to destroy the weapon and save Lambda 3-7T. The freelancer would not let this go unknown, and notified the archive. Due to this, Lambda 3-7T has contributed in making Deng a celebrated figure, his name going down in honor.
Lambda 3-7T would continue to serve in the war, continually adopting its deception doctrine against the XC. It would indeed end up saving many lives across several engagements. Until one day, where Lambda 3-7T would find itself in Dengs position. A HF fleet was under attack and at risk of near complete annihilation. Lambda 3-7T stepped in, using deception to take a lot of XC fire from the HF allies, who then had time and energy to use FTL. Lambda 3-7T would then have to single handedly engage an entire XC fleet by itself. The freelancer managed to destroy 12 XC starships before having a critical antimatter breach, resulting in the complete annihilation of the freelancer. The HF fleet knows about its sacrifice. It appears that Deng's sacrifice had a larger influence than he thought; he indirectly saved a large portion of an entire HF fleet.
