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]].

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/Halo]] | The first human colony ships transported colonists to other worlds in the [[Sol system]], including [[Luna]], [[Mars]] and the [[Jovian Moons]].
