Space Colony ARK

The Space Colony ARK (スペースコロニー・アーク, Supēsu Koronī Āku^?) is a location that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a Bernal sphere space station that was built over fifty years before the present day, by Professor Gerald Robotnik, the grandfather of Doctor Eggman. It was the first space colony created by humanity.

The ARK was used as a top-secret research facility by the United Federation, where scientific testings and experimentations were conducted. Its secrecy was primary due to the creation of all kinds of weapons, such as the Eclipse Cannon and Artificial Chaos. Most notably, it was the site of Project Shadow, a military program aimed at creating and weaponizing an immortal lifeform. This project led to the birth of Shadow the Hedgehog and the Biolizard. However, due to fears over the risks posed by these experiments, the government ordered a military raid, resulting in the ARK's shutdown. Today, the ARK remains in orbit around Earth, abandoned since the aftermath of Project Shadow. The colony has its own gravity, both inside and outside, which can be adjusted using Gravity Control Switches. Additionally, devices called Defense Units provide a defensive barrier to protect the ARK from invaders. However, navigating the station today is very dangerous due to the presence of G.U.N. robots and malfunctioning Artificial Chaos that guard many areas.
