The Poseidon-class light carrier is a capital warship class utilized by the United Nations Space Command in the years following the Human-Covenant War.[1]
Specifications
Design details
The Poseidon's hull is rather flat, though the bow slants upward and forward. Several antennae protrude from the fore end. The ship has one large, primary thrust nozzle and four smaller, secondary nozzles.[2]
Service history
The class had entered service by February 28, 2557, with at least one present at the Template:UNSCship's commissioning ceremony.[3] Several Poseidons were part of Battlegroup Dakota and attacked the Mantle's Approach during the Didact's attack on Earth in July of that year.[2] During the Second Battle of Requiem, at least three ships of this class deployed fireteams to the surface in order to find Dr. Catherine Halsey after her abduction at the hands of the Covenant.[4]
Ships of the line
- UNSC Poseidon - The lead ship of the class
Behind the scenes
Two Poseidon-class carriers appear in the background of the Halo 4 level Midnight; given their nature they are intended to be seen only from a considerable distance. However, exploiting a glitch allows the player to examine these vessels up close, along with a number of Vindication-class light battleships and Strident-class heavy frigates. 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.[1]
