UNSC Nylund (Earth-5875)

The UNSC Nylund was a frigate of the UNSC Navy, captained by Rear Admiral Jon Grissom after the end of the Interplanetary War.

History
Rear Admiral Jon Grissom, then a hero of the Interplanetary War, was selected to be the first human to leave the Sol system and test slipspace travel. In 2198, piloting the UNSC  Nylund, he was able to reach Epsilon Eridani in two weeks, as intended, becoming the first human to leave Sol. Six months later, Grissom was given command of the Phoenix-colony ship Odyssey, and hundreds of UNSC personnel and civilian colonists were selected from all the continents of Earth to be a part of his ship's crew.
