The Odyssey was the first Human colony ship. It colonized the worlds of the inner colonies. It was launched on January 1, 2362[1] laden with troops and terraforming gear to spearhead the first colonization of a new world by mankind. This sparked the first wave of human expansion beyond the confines of the Solar System.
Trivia
- The name 'Odyssey' derives from an epic poem written by the Greek poet, Homer. The story follows a commander, Odysseus, who gets lost on his return from the Trojan war, sailing to various places over the course of about a decade. The name is fitting for the ship because of the parallels: humanity embarks on a long voyage after emerging from the Interplanetary War.
