This has only been tested in simulations and would catastrophically destroy the Quantum Slipstream system, it may also cause severe damage to the surrounding systems and ship.

Commissioned in 2386, the Poseidon was constructed following the loss of the Regent class pathfinder starship Poseidon. As she began construction in the middle of the Sovereign classes successful run, she received many of the upgrades the Enterprise had received during her refit in this year as well, amongst these upgrades were an advanced multi-spectral sensor array, first seen on the Luna class and improvements to the warp engine systems.

Following her shakedown, the Poseidon was assigned to the 2nd Fleet under the command of Captain Timothy Oliver. She was primarily assigned to patrols of the Orion sector, tasked with investigating Orion Syndicate operations and continuing the crackdown that was ending syndicate operations in the region.

The Poseidon was also assigned to exploration missions under a joint exploration initiative with the reformed Romulan government, these missions took the Poseidon as far as the Unroth sector, to systems formerly within the Neutral Zone.

However in June 2387, the Poseidon was on such an exploration mission with the I.R.W. Decius during the collapse of the Hobus star and suffered extensive damage with many members of the crew suffering radiation poisoning. The Poseidon was towed to Starbase 39 where an extensive operation was carried out to repair and decontaminate the vessel. In 2389, those efforts were concluded and the majority of the original crew returned to service alongside the Poseidon.

Over the next five years, the Poseidon was involved in numerous Humanitarian and Peacekeeping missions within Romulan space, however in 2394, the Poseidon and the remaining taskforce is expelled from Romulan space by the new senate. The Poseidon is assigned to the Ponor sector, patrolling the region of the former Neutral Zone.

In 2396, after two years of uneventful patrols, Poseidon was reassigned to deep space exploration into the greater beta quadrant towards the galactic core. Captain Oliver stood down during this time and the Poseidon was placed under command of Captain Kai Agati.

While most of the space had previously been surveyed, the Poseidon was successful in the discovery of six new star systems and carried out two first contact missions.

In 2400, the Poseidon was recalled to undergo a major refit ahead of schedule with new defensive systems installed, doubling the vessel's coverage of ablative armour, as well as improved sensor suites. The three month refit is completed swiftly and Poseidon is pressed back to service patrolling the former Romulan Neutral Zone, only engaging in minor disputes, otherwise returning to a peaceful mission of distributing aid supplies to break away Romulan colonies.

In 2404, with the outbreak of war between the Klingon empire and Federation, the Poseidon was reassigned to the Romulan/Klingon border acting in a defensive role.
