Arkhaven: Difference between revisions

'''Arkhaven''' was the name of a city on [[Sarath]]. It was controlled by an [[computer|AI]] called [[Monitor (Sarath)|Monitor]]. Although Arkhaven was not the capitol city of Sarath, it soon became the last hope for the planet's human population after an asteroid strike on Sarath's moon sent the moon into a descending orbit towards Sarath. Even when it appeared that most other cities and civilisations on Sarath had been destroyed, including their capital city, Arkhaven remained reasonably intact, as it was mostly self-sufficient and able to supply itself with food and power, while its location in a relatively geologically stable region meant that it only had to deal with the threat of relatively predictable meteor bombardments.

In reality, the Ship was a deception as Arkhaven didn't have the power to create a working model of a ship that size, with the actual evacuation craft being the Ship's Lunar Lander, capable of only holding around five hundred people who were carefully chosen by those aware of the situation. The majority of Arkhaven's population were sedated and left on the Ship before it was destroyed, but various NC2s and others were led to the Lander by the [[First Doctor|Doctor]] and his companions. Monitor attempted to stage a coup now that Arkhaven no longer existed as a legal entity- cities on Sarath required a population of a thousand at least to qualify and Arkhaven now had only half that- but Monitor was destroyed and the Lander departed using a life-pod from the [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] to give it extra internal space for the NC2s.
