UNSC Milwaukee is a Poseidon-class light carrier in service with the UNSC Navy.[1]

Design details[edit]

Propulsion[edit]

The Milwaukee was equipped with a reverse engineered Slipspace drive that allowed travel times to be reduced to mere hours.[1]

Layout[edit]

The Milwaukee lacked Cryo-chambers due to its advanced slipspace drive. Instead, stadium styled seating was put in a large passenger cabin. The roof of the cabin had a polarizing roof, that could turn opaque or transparent.[1]

Service history[edit]

By September 2558, the Milwaukee was re-purposed as a large passenger ferry to and from Onyx. Molly Patel and several hundred passengers took the Milwaukee to reach Onyx at this time. During the trip, they received a briefing and presentation about Onyx from Director Hugo Barton.[1]
