THE ARK was created almost 100 million years ago by the Keepers, after their home planet suffered its 'Event'. What started as a single rescue mission for animals on a doomed planet quickly turned into an intergalactic and eventually universe-wide project to preserve every species, and eventually, re-seed them onto suitable planets once sufficient population is attained. THE ARK is constantly expanding as new biomes and new creatures are discovered and rescued. THE ARK also houses two key assets for the Keepers: the first is the Council Room, where the elected leaders meet and make decisions that impact the universe. The second is the Computer Room where the A.I. named Entropy operates and is maintained. Entropy is a personality, but also a critical tool in the Keepers' operations: she is the means by which they know when an inhabited planet is approaching an 'Event', so they can begin rescue operations.
