The Odyssey was the first interstellar human starship[3] and the lead ship in a fleet of colony ships[4] for the Colonial Administration Authority.[1]

Operational history[edit]

Construction and fate[edit]

The Odyssey was launched from a mooring platform in orbit over Luna[2] on January 1, 2362,[5][6] laden with troops and terraforming gear to spearhead the colonization of a new world.[4] Its launch was the result of decades of planning,[7] and the ship itself was the capstone to Project: OUTBOUND.[8]

The Odyssey was sent to Epsilon Eridani,[3] and would arrive at the world in late 2362.[8] It would settle this planet, which would become Reach.[2] The ship would be deconstructed on the world itself.[1]

Legacy[edit]

The launching of the Odyssey sparked the Domus Diaspora, the first wave of human expansion beyond the confines of the Sol system.[4]

Trivia[edit]

The name 'Odyssey' derives from an epic poem written by the Greek poet, Homer. The story follows a commander, Odysseus, who gets lost on his return from the Trojan War, sailing to various places over the course of two decades. The name is fitting for the ship because of the parallels: humanity embarks on a long voyage after emerging from the Interplanetary War. 'Odyssey' was also the callsign of the Command Module for the April 1970 Apollo 13 mission around the Moon.
