Poseidon 1
Poseidon 1 is a fast, comfortable spacecraft operated by the Poseidon Group. Hua Li dispatches it during the Taihua disaster to recover Lan Jue and the surviving party, making the ship an important link between the evacuation and his return to Skyfire.
History
The Taihua evacuation
When Lan Jue is trapped on Taihua, Hua Li orders Poseidon 1 brought to the planet at any cost. After the immediate crisis, the survivors choose it as their transport and board ten minutes later. The ship rises in a streak of brilliant blue light, carrying the group away from Taihua and toward Skyfire. Lan Jue regains consciousness aboard and recuperates in one of its lounge chairs while the vessel enters Skyfire orbit. No later transfer, damage, or destruction is recorded. (Chapters 147, 151–152)
Abilities and properties
- Poseidon 1 provides rapid interplanetary rescue transport, departing Taihua in a blue burst and reaching Skyfire orbit with the survivors aboard. (Chapters 151–152)
