REASON OF PROJECT INITIATION:

IN THE AFTERMATH OF THE UNIFICATION WAR, A DECADE LONG WAR BETWEEN MIDDLE EASTERN COUNTRIES ACTING ALONGSIDE THE DEMOCRATIC PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF KOREA, NUCLEAR WARFARE WAS TAKING A HEAVY TOLL ON THE AREAS AFFECTED BY THE RADIATION. WITH THE DOOMSDAY CLOCK TICKING DOWN, AND NEAR EXTINCTION IMMINENT, THE UNITED NATIONS FORMED A SUB-DIVISION KNOWN AS THE UNITED TERRAN COALITION. THIS SUB-DIVISION WOULD BEGIN THE COLONIZING OF THE IMMEDIATE SOLAR SYSTEM, AND BEYOND IN AN ATTEMPT TO PREVENT THE ANNIHILATION OF HUMANITY. SEVERAL SOLAR SYSTEMS AND GALAXIES WERE CHOSEN AS POTENTIAL CANDIDATES, INCLUDING THE KEPLER-22 SYSTEM AND GLIESE 581.

THIS WOULD MEAN SIGNIFICANT TECHNOLOGICAL JUMPS WOULD NEED TO BE MADE EXTREMELY QUICKLY. AS THE ENVIRONMENT BEGAN TO WORSEN AND THE POLITICAL CLIMATE BEGAN TO GROW MORE TENSE, HUMANITY HAD SURPASSED ITSELF SEVERAL TIMES TO COMPENSATE FOR THE LACK OF TECHNOLOGY. BREAKTHROUGHS IN ALL SCIENCES TOOK THE WORLD BY SURPRISE, AND IT FUELED THE NEED TO KEEP THAT INFORMATION SAFE. FOR THE NEXT TWENTY YEARS, UNDER PRESSURE OF ADVANCED STAGES OF GLOBAL WARMING AND ATMOSPHERIC INSTABILITY, THE UNITED TERRAN COALITION MANAGED TO CONSTRUCT TWELVE STARSHIPS THAT WOULD LEAVE EARTH TO BEGIN COLONIZATION.

THERE WERE FOUR STARSHIPS PER COLONY-GROUP.

FOR THE COLONIZATION OF BOTH MARS AND THE TERRAFORMING OF EUROPA, THE FOLLOWING SHIPS WERE SENT TO COMPLETE THE TASK:

> U.T.C GLADIUS

> U.T.C CENTURION

> U.T.C LEGIONNAIRE

> U.T.C CAESER

FOR THE COLONIZATION OF GLIESE 581 G/B, THE FOLLOWING SHIPS WERE SENT TO COMPLETE THE TASK:

> U.T.C CLAYMORE

> U.T.C KNIGHT

> U.T.C ARCHER

> U.T.C FORTRESS

FOR THE COLONIZATION OF KEPLER 22-B THE FOLLOWING SHIPS WERE SENT TO COMPLETE THE TASK:

> U.T.C RANGER

> U.T.C HUNTER

> U.T.C WARRIOR

> U.T.C FIGHTER

THIS IS A QUOTE FROM PRESIDENT WILLIAM S. CONNORS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BEFORE THE OFFICAL LAUNCH OF PROJECT ARK:

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

TODAY, I STAND BEFORE YOU, NOT AS A PRESIDENT, BUT AS A PERSON. OUR WORLD IS CRUMBLING AROUND US. WE HAVE, IN THE PAST, COMPLETED AMAZING FEATS. BE IT TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT OR OVERALL PROGRESS AS A SPECIES. WE HAVE OVERCOME BOUNDARIES THAT SEEMED TOO LARGE TO PASS, AND WE HAVE A SPARK. WITH THIS SPARK, A FLAME WILL BE LIT. TODAY, OUR FIRE IS DYING, BUT THIS SPARK WE ARE GIVING TO THESE BRAVE PEOPLE, THIS SPARK WILL REIGNITE THE FLAME. THESE BRAVE HUMAN BEINGS, WILL GO TO PLACES MAN HAS NEVER GONE BEFORE.

THESE HUMAN BEINGS ARE WILLING TO DO AN IMPOSSIBLE MISSION. THEY ARE TAKING WITH THEM, THE FUTURE OF THE HUMAN RACE. IF WE FAIL TO ESTABLISH PEACE, TO RESTORE OUR PLANET, THEN SOMEONE OUT THERE WILL CARRY OUR KNOWLEDGE, OUR HISTORY, OUR CULTURE, WITH THEM. WE WILL BE REMEMBERED. THEY WILL BE REMEMBERED.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PROJECT ARK."
