Ark of the Fallen

Ark of the Fallen starts primarily as an influence of the Super-A Grade "EsGod", and consists of millions of unallied pirates and criminals from the territories of the three Universal Civilizations.

The Ark of the Fallen is unique because the membership is loose, and the governance structure strictly depends on the strength of EsGod (a peak S-Grade super). EsGod does not care about the lives of the members or the efficiency of the organization, which instead depends on the members. He merely provides asylum to wanted terrorists and criminals from all over the universe, and in turn, they work for him.

The Ark of the Fallen is notoriously lawless, however, they are still disciplined and work on a meritorious command structure (first strength, then skill), necessitated by the fact that they are constantly under the attack of the Three Civilizations. Especially because they cannot depend on EsGod to act as combat strength (he is ambivalent, and even careless, about the lives of the members), and often are sent on suicide missions.

## History

### Previous Timeline

In Han Xiao's previous timeline, the Ark of the Fallen was a notorious evil faction that players could join, and was especially a favorite of the chaotic evil players who became wanted terrorists within the three Universal Civilizations (or their dependencies).

Many players also joined the Ark of the Fallen for a reward. This was because EsGod's main goal was to collect Esper Abilities (which became S-Grade abilities in his hands), while taking Esper Abilities from NPC's in Galaxy caused them to loose the ability in question, players could die and revive, thus they were able to restore from the ['Esper Ability' - Frozen] status.

### Current Timeline

The Ark of the Fallen had a notorious reputation in the Universal Civilizations, and had committed many atrocities within the various territories of the Universal Civilizations. This included the destruction of many civilizations and planets, acts of terrorism inspired by EsGod's desire to obtain as many "satisfactory" Esper Abilities possible.

It harbored the DarkStar leader after Black Star destroyed Darkstar, aiding him to build up a fleet with which to rebuild DarkStar, but Han Xiao was able to capture the DarkStar leader before he restarted Darkstar. However, the ambush caused EsGod to discover the World Tree Civilization, and therefore he invested a lot of resources and effort to obtain the wormhole data and the final coordinates.

Han Xiao spearheaded the operation by the Three Universal Civilizations, that led to the capture of EsGod.

The Ark of the Fallen as an extended influence (the bases and research stations distributed on other planets) was quickly divided by competing factions within the Ark of the Fallen (and many fell prey to outside influences greedy for their resources - especially the research data accumulated by EsGod over hundreds of years).

A branch organization, under the name "Ark of the Fallen", led by Fakisen, is all that remains of the original, and is several magnitudes smaller.

## Membership

1. EsGod ("EsGod"): A peak S-Grade Super with the unique Esper Ability of being able to consume and assimilate others Esper Abilities, over the hundreds of years he has been alive, he has collected an unknown quantity of Esper Abilities (well in the hundreds of thousands). However, this has been at the cost of his own lifespan, as possessing too many abilities has caused his genetic material to collapse due to overload. He is most famous for using clones to store a portion of his Esper abilities (each clone can store up to 10 abilities, that then become inaccessible to his main body), and in his final battle against Han Xiao and the other Super-A Grades from the 3 Civilizations, he produces tens of clones that quickly become an overwhelming force while fighting 5 S-Grades simultaneously.
2. Fakisen: Calamity Grade super, and commander of the "Ark of the Fallen" fleet. He also acted as EsGod's right hand man.
