The UNSC Infinity is an experimental vessel commissioned into the UNSC Navy following the end of the Human-Covenant War in 2553.[1]

History

Construction

The Infinity is a starship technology demonstrator, using advanced technology recovered during the Human-Covenant War from both Covenant and Forerunner sources.[2]

The ship was constructed in the Oort cloud beyond the Sol system.[2] 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 fully aware of the ship's existence.[3]

As of March 2553, technology from the recently discovered Sharpened Shield was planned to be incorporated into the ship.[3] 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]

At over 3 kilometers in length, the Infinity is among the largest vessels currently operating with the UNSC Navy. [4] The ship also contains a state-of-the art combat deck, a training chamber that is capable of replicating environments.[5]
