Pathfinders
The Odyssey Project was built around the concept of huge, multi-generational ships built for voyages expected to last more than a hundred years. These 'Pathfinder Ships' were therefore built to be self-sustaining, and capable of carrying a crew of tens of thousands.
Pegasus is the third pathfinder ship
Aves
Each Pathfinder Ship carries four squadrons of Aves. These Aves craft function as shuttlecraft, research ships, and, when necessary, as point and long-range defense for the Pathfinder Ships.
