UNSC Infinity

The was a vessel commissioned into the UNSC Navy following the end of the Human-Covenant war in 2553. The Infinity was a starship technology demonstrator, likely using recovered technology found during the war against the Covenant Empire and/or from Forerunner facilities and installations.

Construction
This starship was constructed in the Oort cloud outside the Sol System. The Office of Naval Intelligence made sure that this ship's construction was completely secret by having the workers stationed in the Oort cloud permanently while maintaining a complete communications blackout.

However, due to the ship's massive construction costs, the Office of Naval Intelligence was unable to keep the Infinity secret from some people; senior members of Navy, like Rear Admiral Saeed Shafiq knew about this ship.

This ship is to receive some upgrades, particularly slipspace navigation upgrades, from the technology discovered at Shield World Trevelyan. These upgrades will help in finishing the Infinity before schedule.

Crew
Andrew Del Rio was assigned as the captain of the Infinity. The rest of the crew consisted of several SPARTAN-IV. They were assigned to this star ship before the preliminary trails on the ship began.

Specifications
No known specifications of this ship are known, the only data that is known is that (under the assumption that the ship beside the Infinity is the same scale as a normal Frigate) the Infinity is aprox. 3.5 km in length, placing it as the largest UNSC vessel, the UNSC Carrier (3km) being second largest

Purpose
The original purpose of Infinity was to beat back the Covenant in the event that Earth was lost and humanity needed a last resort, however that is no longer applicable after the Human/Covenant war's climax. (Derived from Admiral Parangosky talking to future ONI executive Osman)
