Its structure comprises two main sections covered with white plating; in the fore section, the plating mostly covers the vessel's dorsal surface. This plating is absent on most of the underside of the ship and in a spar connecting the two main sections. A series of rectangular blue lights are arranged in the sections lacking the white plating.<ref name="midnight">'''Halo 4''', campaign level, ''[[Midnight]]''</ref> 719 meters in length,<ref name="Bulletin"/> the ''Poseidon'' is exceeded in both size and tonnage by the ''[[Orion-class assault carrier|Orion]]'', ''[[Epoch-class heavy carrier|Epoch]]'', and ''[[Punic-class supercarrier|Punic]]'' carrier classes.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-in-the-loop '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder: In the Loop'']</ref> It is armed with [[point defense gun]]s<ref name="midnight"/> and presumably at least one [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]]. | ||
