As of [[3145]], the '''''Spina ArcShip''''' was part of the [[Spina Khanate (Clan Sea Fox)|Spina Khanate]] in the [[Clan Sea Fox Touman|Clan Sea Fox ''touman'']].<ref name=FR:3145p170>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 170: "Clan Force Deployments - Clan Diamond Shark - Spina Khanate"</ref>
 
  
==Description==
+
The [[ArcShip]] '''''Poseidon''''' was a former ''[[Potemkin]]'' Class Troop Cruiser of [[Clan Sea Fox]]. The ''Poseidon'' is a heavily modified WarShip, re-designed as a Sea Fox mobile Community.  
Formerly the ''[[Potemkin]]''-class troop cruiser '''''Poseidon''''', the [[Clan Sea Fox]] [[ArcShip]] was a heavily modified [[WarShip]], redesigned as a Sea Fox mobile community. It became the flagship (and command center) of Clan Sea Fox's Spina Khanate.
 
  
The ship was slowly converted into an ArcShip after the [[Jihad]]. The ship became a main population center for the Sea Foxes. The ''Poseidon'' was enlarged from its original tonnage to 2.5 million tons. The vessel carried over 50 DropShips, with dozens of them ''[[Behemoth (DropShip class)|Behemoth]]''-class DropShips, placed all over its hull. This allowed the ship's crew and population capacity to increase with the added life support equipment granted by the permanently docked ''Behemoth'' DropShips. With the habitat increases and improved stores capacities, this allowed the ship to retain a population of a half-million people.<ref name=HotDp169>''Hunters of the Deep'', p. 169</ref>
+
She is currently the flagship (and command center) of Clan Sea Fox's [[Spina Khanate]]. She and her Khanate fleet had been operating in [[Republic of the Sphere]]'s Prefectures VI, VII and VIII as of [[3134]].<ref>''Hunters of the Deep'', p. 39 - "Conversations between Petr Kalasa and his aide Jesup".</ref> [[SaKhan]] Mikel Sennet was the commanding officer of [[Spina Khanate]] at that time.
  
The permanently "docked" DropShips were grouped together and various former large cargo holds were referred to as communal centers. These community centers were named with the Greek alphabet. The ship had a dozen such communities onboard. The Alpha Community Prime was a large community located in the ''Poseidon'''s old Primary Cargo Hold A. This was the home of 50 thousand Clansman from various castes.<ref>''Hunters of the Deep'', p. 172: "Petr travels to see saKhan Mikel Sennet"</ref> The community is half the size of Alpha.
+
She was originally listed as [[Clan_Sea_Fox#Khanate|ilKhanate's command ship]] or Capital in [[3130]].<ref>''Touring the Stars'', p.?? - "Sea Fox Fact Sheet".</ref>
  
The ''Poseidon'''s dimensions were increased by 50 percent to the length of 2,250 meters.<ref>''Hunters of the Deep'', p. 169: "Petr describing the changes of the Poseidon"</ref>
+
In 3145, the ''Poseidon'' was listed as the Spina ArcShip with Sakhan Petr Kalasa in command. <ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 169, "Clan Force Deployments".</ref>
  
By [[3080]], it was also producing ''[[Dasher II]]'', ''[[Ha Otoko]]'', ''[[Piranha]]'', and ''[[Warhammer IIC]]'' BattleMechs.<ref>''Objectives: The Clans'', p. 4: "CDS Poseidon [Potemkin Class]/Auxiliary Production Site #4"</ref>
