The UNSC Skidbladnir was a Phoenix-class Colony Ship[1] used to colonize Harvest. Its support A.I. was Loki.
Once the initial colony on Harvest was established, Skidbladnir remained in orbit for more than a year to assist in the construction of the basic infrastructure for Space Station Tiara and space elevators. Once that was completed, the ship was landed on the planet surface and scrapped for materials. The ships power plant was used to power the capital city of Utgard.
Trivia
In Norse mythology, Skidbladnir was the ship ordered built by Loki and subsequently given to Freyr as part of Loki's recompense for stealing Sif's golden hair.
