  • After the Kzinti Wars ended, the newly-chartered United Earth Starfleet Command commissioned the construction of a fleet of warships to protect the Solar System's borders.
    All Poseidon-class destroyers were upgraded with faster engines and stronger weapons along with the rest of the fleet during Operation Deploy in 2153. The ships proved themselves in combat against the Romulans at the Battle of Andoria and again at the Battle of Cheron.
    The Poseidon’s unique configuration would inspire the design of the Miranda-class starships that were constructed for the Federation Starfleet decades later.

    Nicely done. The 4- phase cannon emplacements were not enough to defend the ship 360 degrees.

    I like it, different to the Star Trek Legacy Poseidons which were closer in design to the NX

    I like it, what is the dimensions of the Poseidon class and where can I find the information?

    Neat design. One question: what purpose does having the torpedo section move serve? Besides looking really cool?
    Looking forward to seeing the next episode!

      The in-universe answer is that the Poseidon-class weapons pod operates in two modes: standby and attack. It's letting the enemy know when you are escalating'locking weapons on them. The Poseidons pre-date the "high-tech" NX era.
      The real-world answer to your question is that we just thought it looked cool and kind of retro-tech compared to the streamlined future Trek eras and wanted to distinguish our Poseidon from the other Miranda types.

      @@TheRomulanWar Well, it makes more sense than the pylon decks of the Oberth class (Grissom from Trek 3), so I'll go with "Because it looks cool" as a perfectly valid reason.

      As a wartime upgrade the Torpedo pod wasn’t part of the original design. In my head cannon it’s interferes with the warp-field dynamic and needs to be tucked away when not in use to stop mucking up the warp field.
