The first human colony ships transported colonists to other worlds in the [[Sol system]], including [[Luna]], [[Mars]] and the [[Jovian Moons]]. The construction of the first line of interstellar colony ships began in [[2310]], soon after the discovery of [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|slipspace travel]]. In [[2362]], the ''[[Odyssey]]'' led the first wave of extrasolar human colonization, to colonize worlds in nearby systems; these would later be known as the [[Inner Colonies]]. A military presence was often attached to colony ships and the worlds they colonized, to serve as security and to complement the UNSC's fleets and other military forces.<ref>''Xbox.com'': The Halo Timeline (defunct, [[Archive:Xbox.com/Halo/Timeline|Archived]])</ref>
