The large, roughly spherically shaped craft was able to hold thousands of crew in hibernation pods and an entire self-contained ecosystem for animals to thrive. Some parts resembled outside planetary environments that were a near perfect replica of an environment, though a keen observer was able to sample the air and detect metallic content therein. Another example of the ship's true nature was present in these environments as underneath the soil and sand were metallic plates. Its engines were powered through hydroelectric means with a large ocean that used waves as a form of energy. | The large, roughly spherically shaped craft was able to hold thousands of crew in hibernation pods and an entire self-contained ecosystem for animals to thrive.

The control deck served as the command centre for the entire ship and included an automated piloting system that locked the target for the vessel. Piloting of the ship involved [[parallel pilot compartment]]s — chairs that required the users to be of the same gene chain.

In [[2367]], the Ark's path toward Earth prompted the [[Indian Space Agency]] to identify it as a threat. Accordingly, the ISA planned to destroy it with a barrage of missiles. In this time, the [[Eleventh Doctor]] learnt of the ships existence and was determined to save it. He took Queen [[Nefertiti]], [[John Riddell]], [[Amy Pond]], [[Rory Williams]] and, accidentally, [[Brian Williams (Dinosaurs on a Spaceship)|Brian Williams]] to the ship where he encountered Solomon. | In [[2367]], the Ark's path toward Earth prompted the [[Indian Space Agency]] to identify it as a threat.

At the same time, the Doctor placed the Ark's signature onto Solomon's ship causing the missiles to target it vice the Ark. The Ark and Earth safe, the Doctor and Brian fulfilled the Silurians' plans, establishing a planetary refuge for the dinosaurs, which they dubbed [[Siluria]].
