History\par
-------\par
After the success of both the Prometheus and Sovereign class starship design, Starfleet decided to make a more rounded class of vessel, which could carry out the diplomatic functions of the Sovereign whilst being as well armed as the Prometheus. With this in mind, Federation Tech Division put into production the classified project "Harbinger". Whilst being practical the original starship prototype blew itself apart due to a crack warp manifold that was missed in preflight testing. As a result the design was placed on the back burner for months. Only when the Federation was faced with the Dominion threat did the project re-emerge, but under a new name - Project "Poseidon". With many of the technology of both parent classes of vessel the prototype USS Poseidon (NX-78010) was launched with great trepidation. Thankfully this time around the ship performed magnificently, and a full run was put into operation. The war with the Dominion ended quickly though, and as such to date, only two Poseidon Classes have been in full operation. The USS Poseidon is currently exploring Romulan space whilst her sister ship, the USS Voyager (NCC-74656-A), is currently on maneuvers in the Gamma Quadrant.\par
