Hyperion Fleed Defense gives every planet you own an orbital fleet manager.

Basically, it's the same as the Orbital Fleet Manager, except that it allows you to defend with all the ships in orbit, NOT just as many as you can fit in a normal fleet.

Basically, what this means is that under normal conditions, when an enemy attacks one of your planets, you defend with one ship at a time. If the enemy has a decent fleet and that one ship isn't awesome, it's going to be toast. With an orbital fleet manager, you can defend with a fleet, rather than a single ship. This fleet will still be limited by your logistics skill, so early on it will be 2-4 ships, though unless you're behind in tech, that will give them an approximately equal footing. With the Hyperion version, ALL ships in orbit of the planet form a fleet to defend the planet, disbanding the fleet after the attack. Given that you can't fit 10 shiips in a fleet until towards the end of the game, this can make a planet quite painful to try to invade.

Not true, at least not anymore. It was my favorite wonder when it did that, but the various defense improvements got shuffled around and renamed during the Gamma, so what we now have as the Hyperion defense improvement is the same as the Omega Defense improvement during Beta, and the "affects all planets" version is gone.
