==Overview:==
"How do you fight against something that can kill you without you even seeing
it?"

This question was the train of thought behind the Poseidon. 

Thanks to the Chaos March opening up, the counter-invasion against the Clans,
and several Prehiphery nations becoming stronger financially and militarily,
demand for military goods of all sorts - including wet naval vessels - began
surging. This proved to be a godsend for the Galtor Naval Yards, as their
Neptune submarine was slowly but surely on its way out.

Instead, the Neptune became popular again. To capitalize on this, the company
set out to design a companion vehicle. Realizing that customers would
willingly pay any price for a naval vehicle that could do incredible things,
they decided that instead of simply updating the Neptune they'd create a new
vehicle using a reworked chassis. 

The center piece of the unit represented a page from ancient Terran history:
an artillery piece. Once upon a time, submarines used to roam the seas of
Terra carrying ballistic missiles of tremendous power. Thus, Galtor decided to
take the risk of mounting an Arrow IV system into the chassis. To make room,
the now-antiquated combustion engine was replaced with a smaller and more
efficient fusion engine, also in keeping with how these ancient submarines
operated. To add to the stealth factor, an ECM suite was installed.

Rather than risk leaving the unit defenseless, a considerable arsenal was
added. A PPC was mounted right into the bow, providing considerable firepower
even under water. Additionally, all four sides of the ship (bow, stern, port,
starboard) were given a torpedo rack; the four racks share two tons of
torpedoes. 

Even more risky is the bay for divers. Nestled in the stern of the ship (near
the launcher) is a compartment for a team of divers and a small airlock system
that they can enter and exit through. The logic is that these divers can be
used as spotters for the launcher, although they could be called upon as
commandos.
