Template:Ratings The Odyssey was the first human colony ship. It colonized the first worlds of the Inner Colonies. It was launched on January 1, 2362 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.[1]
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.
