Command of the Space Ark

Arthur commanded the Space Ark, a refitted training ship pressed into service when the Strategic Naval Research Institute’s Frontier IV facilities came under attack. He organised evacuation corridors, coordinated civilian embarkation, and maintained order aboard the overcrowded vessel while enemy forces pressed the assault.
