USS Poseidon (NCC-42635) is a Miranda-class starship assigned to the 11th Fleet's Task Force 11. Poseidon is currently under the command of Commander Franklin Johnson and first officer Lieutenant Commander Kanaka Shakura.

History

Construction and Original Shakedown

In 2318, the USS Poseidon has her keel laid and finishes construction in the Proxima Yards, in the Proxima Centauri Star System within the span of one year. She was officially designated NCC-42635 and entered into active service in response to growing tensions with the Klingon Empire and the Romulan Star Empire. Captain William J. Horrace was the first Commanding Officer of the USS Poseidon. In 2321, Command was handed over to Captain Edgar Paladin following a successful three-year shakedown cruise under Captain William J. Horrace, whom retires from Starfleet shortly after.

The Early Years and First Reserve

In 2330, the USS Poseidon undergoes a refit for a period of two months to bolster the 2293 designs for the Miranda-class. Many of the systems are upgraded or improved, with very little interior renovations done. Shortly after the renovations, Captain Edgar Paladin is promoted to Commodore. In 2334, following a battle with a marauding band of Orion Pirates, Commodore Edgar Paladin is killed in the line of duty. His first officer, Commander James Wallkeen, is promoted to Captain and given command following one month of drydock repairs. In 2344, after the incidents surrounding the Battle of Narendra III and the resulting Klingon-Federation Alliance, the USS Poseidon under the command of Captain James Wallkeen is placed into reserves. Most of the crew move on to better, more modern ships. Captain James Wallkeen is promoted to Starfleet Command under the rank of Commodore.

Reactivation, First Cruise, and Second Reserve

Following First Contact with the Borg in 2367, the USS Poseidon is brought back into service after receiving extensive updates to weapons and defenses. No interior changes are done, save for more advanced console screens and interfaces. Commander Henry T. Paladin is given command of the Poseidon. A few years later in 2370, the USS Poseidon is redesignated as "fleet support ship". Commander Henry T. Paladin is promoted to Captain following the redesignation ceremony. In 2371, following a period of relative peace, the USS Poseidon is placed into reserves. Plans are made to offer her up as a museum ship. Captain Henry T. Paladin heads the initiative.

The Dominion War

Following the declaration of war on behalf of the Federation against the Dominion in 2373, the USS Poseidon is swiftly reactivated. Captain Henry T. Paladin is given command again and instructed to report to the front lines. For most of the war the USS Poseidon conducted operations as a fleet support ship, ferrying supplies between warzones. Soon enough, in 2374, Captain Henry T. Paladin is given instructions to report for a new operation; Operation Return. The ship sustained heavy losses in the ensuing battle, with Captain Henry T. Paladin killed in the line of duty. Commander T'Miak, a Vulcan, successfully assumes command to finish their role in the battle and return to a shipyard for repairs. Later that same year, the USS Poseidon briefly participated in the Battle of Betazed, however was thereafter recalled to assist in the First Battle of Chin'toka. Following heavy damage, but with minimal loss of life, the USS Poseidon return to Federation space for repair and refit.


One year later, in 2375, the USS Poseidon is assigned as destroyer escort for several starships, continuing her primary role as fleet support in more than one occasion. Commander T'Miak is promoted to full Captain this same year. The Poseidon would go on to participate in the Battle of Ricktor Prime. Following this, the USS Poseidon and her crew would defend Earth in the Breen attack on Earth, destroying at least one Breen ship and sustaining moderate damage. Following the conclusion of the Dominion War, the USS Poseidon is returned to reserve status. Captain T'Miak accepts a commission on board a Nebula-class starship to further his career in Starfleet.

A Brief Interlude: Mothball and Pegasus Fleet

In 2376, despite the several attempts by ancestors of Captain Henry T. Paladin and his previous First Officer, T'Miak, to return the Poseidon into the status as a Museum Ship, Starfleet mothballs the ship. In 2387, following years of mothball, the USS Poseidon is briefly brought back into service to assist with evacuations and refugees from the destruction of Romulus. She is thereafter returned to mothball, given under the authority of Pegasus Fleet for further consideration.

A New Sim: 2017 Shakedown Cruise

In 2392, Commander Gregory Paladin, veteran of the Dominion Wars and antecedent of Captain Henry T. Paladin, takes command and commission of the USS Poseidon. He leaves behind an instructors position at Starfleet. Lieutenant Commander Rudolf Kaufmann joins the vessel from the USS Ben-my-Chree as his first officer. In drydock, the systems of the Poseidon are extensively updated, save for the interior, as it is considered non-essential to replace. After a brief shakedown, and following the tragic events of losing both parents, his wife and kids, and a sibling in an accident Commander Gregory Paladin takes leave from Starfleet. The USS Poseidon is returned to mothball after Lieutenant Commander Rudolf Kaufmann transfers to another fleet.

The Sim Strikes Back: 2019 Reactivation

In 2393, the USS Poseidon is brought out of mothball to begin updates to her weapons and defensive systems, as well as sensors, consoles, a more compact computer core, and other essential and non-essential areas. She is assigned to Commander Franklin Johnson, who departs the Norway-class Starship USS Tennessee, and redesignated as an Anti-Piracy Convoy Escort. Lieutenant Commander Phoebe Graydon is assigned as the ships Executive Officer, who departs the USS Highlander from her tenure as XO onboard. Commodore Gregory Paladin returns to the USS Poseidon from his leave and subsequent promotion to Starfleet Command as Director of Academy Operations, acting as Mission Advisor on board the testbed for Academy Operations, the USS Poseidon.

A Change of Pace: Death of a Crewmember and a Notable Promotion

In 2393, just a day into the shakedown cruise of the USS Poseidon, a gryphon fighter piloted by Lieutenant Jonas Pavan explodes off the bow of the Poseidon during a routine training exercise. The USS Poseidon is ordered back into berth at Starbase 99 pending an investigation. Lieutenant Karn, the ships Chief Security and Tactical Officer, leads the investigation with the assistance of various notable Officer's and crew on board. With the critical medical supplies still on hold inside the Poseidon's cargo bay, the primary mission of the Poseidon to deliver the supplies to Starbase 129 near Cardassian space is placed on hold.

Following the investigation and the additional arrival of new crewmembers from Starbase 99, the ships First Officer, Lieutenant Commander Phoebe Graydon, requests to step down to the position of Second Officer. Commander Franklin Johnson accepts the request and promotes Lieutenant Commander Kanaka Shakura to the position of Executive Officer, who had been the Poseidon's Second Officer previously. Starfleet Command is anxious to see how this situation as a whole will unravel.
