Ship Facts
The ship was slowly converted into a ArcShip after the Jihad. The ship became a main population center for the Sea Foxes. The ship was enlarged from original tonnage to 2.5 million tons.[3] Ship carries over 50 DropShips, with dozens of them Behemoth Class DropShips, placed all over its hull. This allowed the ship crew/population capacity increase with added life support/other equipment by the permanently docked Behemoth DropShips. With the habitat increases & food/stores capcities, allowing the ship to retain a population of a half-million people.[4]
The permanently "docked" DropShips grouped together & various former large cargo holds are referred to as communital centers. These community centers are named with the greek alphabet. The ship has a dozen communities onboard. The Alpha Community Prime is a large community located in the Potemkin's old Primary Cargo Hold A. Which is the home of 50 thousand clansman from various castes.[5] The community is with for others half the size of Alpha.
The Posedidon's dimensions were increase by 50 percent to the length of 2250 Meters.[6]
History
Originally designed by the Star League as military hybrid cruiser and troop transport. The ship traveled with Exodus Fleet, in 2784 to what became Pentagon Worlds.
After the formation of the Clans, the ship entered service with the original Clan Sea Fox. After several centuries of service and the Clan Invasion, the ship returned to the Inner Sphere.
Near the end of the Jihad, then-Clan Diamond Shark converted its WarShip fleet into mobile communities and heavy transport vessels. Poseidon was converted into what became known as an ArcShip and designated as the command ship of the Sea Fox's Khan. Decades later the ship was redesignated as Spina Khanate's flagship.
Under the direction of saKhan Mikel Sennet, Poseidon and the other of ships of her Khanate deployed in 3134 to the Republic of the Sphere's Prefecture VI, VII and VIII. The Khanate hoped to find new deals to be made due to the HPG Blackout of 3132.
Poseidon had a near-collision with the CargoShip Voidswimmer on 21 September [what year?] when it jumped into the Adhafera system.[7] The ship was spared damage as Voidswimmer managed to move out of its arrival point. Soon, word arrived that the Sea Fox Khan was being hunted by would-be assassins. The ship left the system after re-charging its K-F drive to search for the Khan.
