==Description==
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]].<ref>''Handbook: House Marik'' was written in game year [[3067]], and stated that vehicle had been in service for two decades</ref>

The Poseidon uses solar panels to charge its large batteries to operate at night. The ship carries an array of equipment including [[Mining Drill|mining drills]], [[Pile Driver|pile drivers]], two [[Lift Hoist|cranes]], and a [[Beagle active probe]].

==Variants==
 
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.<ref>''Handbook: House Marik'', p. 152</ref>
