| '''UNSC ''Skidbladnir''''' was a {{Class|Phoenix|colony ship}} used to colonize the [[human]] [[Outer Colony]] planet of [[Harvest]]. Its shipboard [[artificial intelligence]] was [[Loki]].{{Ref/Reuse|ch183}}{{Ref/Reuse|enc79}}
| | The Skidbladnir transported those colonists who chose to leave other planets and settle on Harvest. It was held in orbit for more than a year while contruction of all the basic infrastructure for the Tiara and space elevators. Once that was finished, the ship was brough down to Havests surface where it was scrapped for parts, especially its engines, which where used to power Utgard. |

| Once the initial colony on Harvest was established in [[2468]],{{Ref/Reuse|timeline}} ''Skidbladnir'' remained in orbit for more than a year to assist in the construction of the basic infrastructure for the colony. Once the task was completed, the colony ship landed on the planet's surface and was scrapped for materials. ''Skidbladnir''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s power plant and engine were then used to power the capital city of [[Utgard]], despite the [[Colonial Administration Authority]]'s concerns over the engine's capabilities.{{Ref/Reuse|ch183}}

| | |
| After UNSC ''Skidbladnir'' was scrapped, Loki was converted into [[Mack]], the [[smart AI]] in charge of agriculture on Harvest.{{Ref/Reuse|ch183}}
