In mid C.E. 71, the Earth Alliance's Eurasian Federation cooperated with Actaeon Industries to create three of its own advanced prototype mobile suits based on the latter's prototype mobile suit Gel Finieto, separate from the EA's GAT-X series. These were the CAT1-X1/3 Hyperion Unit 1, CAT1-X2/3 Hyperion Unit 2, and CAT1-X3/3 Hyperion Unit 3. The three units were identical, except for their coloration. Actaeon Industries later created a trial-type ground combat variant of the Hyperion Series, called the CAT1-XG Hyperion G in order to improve their sales result.

Like Unit 1, Hyperion Unit 2 was assigned to the Artemis space fortress under command of Gerard Garcia and piloted by Balsam Arend. When Canard defected from the Alliance, Balsam was ordered to capture him. Canard in his damaged Unit 1 eventually fought Balsam and killed him by creating a beam spike to penetrate his lightwave barrier, then stabbed into Unit 2's cockpit with a beam knife.[1] Canard then used its beam submachine gun for increased firepower and the remains of the mobile suit as a source of spare parts to repair his damaged Unit 1.
