Hyperion (faction)

History
The discovery of The Vault, and the resulting surge in the appearance of Eridium, soon drew the attention of Hyperion and Handsome Jack. Hyperion, being a weapons manufacturer and one of the major industrial powers on Pandora, needed a stronger foothold on the planet, and so brought their robot manufacturing expertise to the world along with a significant injection of resources. The resulting cadre of personnel and robots soon had the planet under strict marshal law.

Involvement
Hyperion makes its presence known at the start of Borderlands 2 when Hyperion forces attack a train carrying Vault Hunters across the Windshear Waste. Believing the Vault Hunters are now dead they withdraw to focus on other concerns, but soon return to try and finish the job they started after learning that the Vault Hunters are actually still alive and have joined the Crimson Raiders.

Soon enough, the Vault Hunters initiate a series of precise strikes against Hyperion, penetrating key installations and decimating Hyperion forces.
