Battletech Poseidon PSD-V2
The Poseidon was a Superheavy Tripod Class BattleMech originally produced in secret by the Republic of the Sphere. Designed with know-how acquired through experimentation undertaken by the Republic during the early thirty-first century, the Poseidon’s development was spurred on due to the events of Gray Monday. Its development, among other secret weapons, was put under the codename "Rhodes Project". Two of the initial prototypes of the Poseidon saw combat during the Senate's Rebellion in 3135 on Terra.[4] The Poseidon’s prototypes were able to engage rebel forces at their Serbian Proving Grounds in Asia and fend them off. The engagements helped to work out the development problems in the 'Mech, leading to the V2 design. The Poseidon was the basis for what would become the Ares Omni Superheavy tripod. The 'Mech would be placed into production at the then-unknown factory on Devil's Rock called Rhodes Foundry. It would be deployed during the Fortress Republic time period to the Republic's most reliable regiments, only to be deployed in defensive roles as of 3145.
