Odyssey

The Odyssey was the first Human colony ship. It colonized the 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.
