The ''Phoenix''-class is 2.5 | The ''Phoenix''-class is 2.5 kilometres long,<ref name="EVG"/> making it one of the largest known ships in the [[UNSC|UNSC's]] naval history to lack the official designation of a carrier-class vessel. | ||
The ''Phoenix''-class ships were designed to transport thousands of colonists from an [[Inner Colony]] such as [[Earth]], as well as [[terraforming]] equipment necessary to alter the existing atmosphere and/or biosphere to better suit human habitation. Once the terraforming is completed, the colonists settle the planet. On at least one instance, a colony ship was decommissioned to aid in the development of a colony. On [[Harvest]], the [[UNSC Skidbladnir|''Skidbladnir's'']] fusion reactor was used to power the first settlement, [[Utgard]] and its data processing storage housing the Agricultural Operations AI, [[Mack]] was also utilized. The ship's AI, [[Loki]], became the [[Planetary Security Intelligence]], sharing a core with Mack, and was tasked with covertly monitoring the colony for trouble by the UNSC.<ref name="Contact"/> Whether this was a common fate for colony ships tasked with settling new worlds is unknown. | The ''Phoenix''-class ships were designed to transport thousands of colonists from an [[Inner Colony]] such as [[Earth]], as well as [[terraforming]] equipment necessary to alter the existing atmosphere and/or biosphere to better suit human habitation.
