Lost Arks of 2172

Ark data for this year 2172

The Ark data for this year is somehow lost and no detailed records could be found. It appears clear that at least three or four arks did leave Earth. Some Scholars believe these arks went to a secret destination and the data was not lost but deleted. Stahl can't remember but then he was most likely aboard a battle ship away from Earth. McElligott can't remember either. The Census numbers for Earth make a significant drop for the first time. More people are leaving than born. This would indicate a significant number of Arks.

Scholars and historians compiled a list of Ark arrivals and Colony start ups from 2173 -2200 and accounted for 178 Ark landings / arrivals where no launch record exists. It is generally beleived these include Arks from 2172 The conspiracy theory of Arks leaving to a secret location seems just a myth.
