The ''Poseidon''-class carrier is sleek, elongated, and somewhat cylindrical in general shape. Its structure comprises two main sections covered with white plating; in the fore section, the plating mostly covers the vessel's dorsal surface. This plating is absent on most of the underside of the ship and in a spar connecting the two main sections. A series of rectangular blue lights are arranged in the sections lacking the white plating. | The ''Poseidon''-class carrier is sleek, elongated, and somewhat cylindrical in general shape.

Several ships of this class were part of [[Battlegroup Dakota]] alongside a number of {{Class|Vindication|light battleship}}s and {{Class|Strident|heavy frigate}}s. These ships engaged the [[Forerunner]] vessel ''[[Mantle's Approach]]'' during the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]]'s [[New Phoenix Incident|attack on Earth]] on [[2557#July|July 25, 2557]].<ref name="midnight"/> | |||

However, exploiting a [[Midnight Vacation|glitch]] allows the player to examine these vessels up close, along with a number of {{Class|Vindication|light battleship}}s and {{Class|Strident|heavy frigate}}s. Because these ships are intended to appear only as scenery, they are rendered as brushes rather than level geometry; as such, the player can fly the Broadsword through them without harm. By the same merit the ships' in-game models are not to scale with their canonical incarnations.<ref name="Bulletin"/> | ||
