A '''Silurian Ark''' was a large [[starship]], roughly as wide as [[Canada]], created by the [[Silurian]] civilisation during the final days of their rule to ensure the survival of their race when their civilisation was threatened with extinction. | A '''Silurian Ark''' was a large [[starship]], roughly as wide as [[Canada]], created by the [[Silurian]] civilisation during the final days of their rule to ensure the survival of their race when their civilisation was threatened with extinction. | ||

This craft's creation was dated to the end of the Silurians' rule of the [[planet]] [[Earth]]. At the time, they discovered an [[The Moon|object]] that was forecasted to collide with their home-world. The majority of their race entered into [[suspended animation]] though some of their kind created a large spaceship designed to hold their people and a large number of [[dinosaur]]s to find a new world to colonise. | This craft's creation was dated to the end of the Silurians' rule of the [[planet]] [[Earth]].

The Ark travelled in space where the preserved dinosaurs managed to thrive except for one species. Whilst in hibernation, the Ark was boarded by [[Solomon (Dinosaurs on a Spaceship)|Solomon]], a [[pirate]] who determined its cargo to be of high value that he could sell. After boarding the ship, he had his [[Robot 1|two]] [[Robot 2|robots]] wake up a few of the Silurians at a time and disposed of them when they refused to give him the dinosaurs. A whole crew of thousands was [[genocide|killed]] this way. Due to the piloting method of the ship, Solomon was unable to control the ship and it automatically returned to [[Earth]]. | The Ark travelled in space where the preserved dinosaurs managed to thrive except for one species.

According to director [[Saul Metzstein]] in [[THWR 13]], the look of the Silurian Ark was modelled on the car {{w|KITT}} from the television series {{wi|Knight Rider (1982 TV series)|Knight Rider}}. | According to director [[Saul Metzstein]] in [[THWR 13]], the look of the Silurian Ark was modelled on the car {{w|KITT}} from the television series {{wi|Knight Rider (1982 TV series)|Knight Rider}}. | ||
