History
Construction
The Infinity is a starship technology demonstrator, using advanced technology recovered during the Human-Covenant War from both Covenant and Forerunner sources.{citation needed
The ship was constructed in the Oort cloud beyond the Sol system. Secrecy was ensured by having workers permanently stationed there over several years, with a total communications blackout in effect. The ship's massive cost, however, prevented the Office of Naval Intelligence from keeping the Infinity's existence a complete secret; senior members of the Navy, such as Rear Admiral Saeed Shafiq, are aware of the ship's existence.
As of March 2553, technology from the recently discovered Sharpened Shield was planned to be incorporated into the ship. Refinements in slipspace navigation, in particular, were expected to push the construction process ahead of schedule. Andrew Del Rio was chosen to be the ship's commanding officer, and several SPARTAN-IV personnel were also assigned to the Infinity before the first trials began.[2]
