Description[edit]
Originally created as a fishery vessel (still retaining its amphibious capacities) on New Olympia in the Free Worlds League, the Poseidon is an industrial support air vessel. The vehicle's primary function is a mobile crane and engineering rig. The vehicle has been successful in industry since its introduction in 3048.[2]
The Poseidon uses solar panels to charge its large batteries to operate at night. The ship carries an array of equipment including mining drills, pile drivers, two cranes, and a Beagle active probe.
Weapons and Equipment[edit]
The ship features eight machine guns to safeguard against air and sea attacks. The ship carries 10 tons of ammunition for its weaponry.
Cargo[edit]
56 tons with two doors, one on each side of the ship.
Variants[edit]
Poseidons are sometimes altered according to their role: weaponry is sometimes removed from vessels engaged in civil engineering work; ICE or fuel-cell engines might be added to reduce draw on the batteries; some have their paraglider lifeboats illegally cannibalized for parts or sold off.[3]
Notes[edit]
- Features Amphibious Chassis and Control Modification, heavy-duty pile driver, two lift hoists, mining drill, two searchlights, communication gear, field kitchen, and crew quarters.
