Description: The Poseidon-class light carrier is a capital warship employed by the UNSC Navy in the post-war era.

Class History

A Poseidon was the site of the symbolic recommissioning of UNSC Infinity.

Several ships of this class were part of Battlegroup Dakota and attacked Mantle's Approach during the Ur-Didact's attack on Earth in 2557.

Three Poseidons and their compliment of D79H-TC Pelicans were sent to retrieve Catherine Halsey after she was taken by the Covenant Remnant during the Second Battle of Requiem.

Author's Note:

It seems very out of the ordinary for the UNSC to create a ship of this size and type and only arm it with Point-defense guns. For simplicity sake, the types and number of weapons have been estimated to better fit a ship of this size and class.
