The CloudArk is a virtual reality construct which the citizens of Neomuna can access while their physical bodies remain in cryogenic hibernation. Neomuni within the CloudArk can appear within the physical spaces of Neomuna as holographic projections, and can observe real-world events as though they were physically present.
The CloudArk was developed in part from studies of the Vex Network, and its infrastructure is also supported by the paracausal energy field emitted by the Veil.
History
Initially, the CloudArk was utilized by the Neomuni mostly as a data storage medium, until the Cloud Strider known as Bluejay used it to make a virtual reality environment as part of a vidgame. In doing so, he also discovered that the Vex were using the CloudArk as a power source, even though they were unable to enter the CloudArk itself. However, Bluejay was able to enter the Vex Network from the CloudArk, and managed to drive the Vex away from it.[1]
According to a Neomuni children's rhyme, at some point in Neomuna's early history, the CloudArk was plagued with viruses sent by the Vex. A Vex Mind named Aesop is said to have bargained with the Neomuni, offering them respite from the Vex attacks in return for their servitude. The Neomuni refused, and in retaliation Aesop killed the children of the Neomuni who were currently within the CloudArk. Since this time, the Neomuni have worked tirelessly to maintain the CloudArk's defenses against further Vex threats.
Invasion of the Shadow Legion
During the Shadow Legion's occupation of Neomuna, a force of Taken led by Parthenios, Drifting Mind attempted to break into the CloudArk from the Vex Network, and were repelled by a Guardian Strike team.
During this time, Neomuni within the CloudArk also reported experiencing nightmares, which were revealed to be caused by Nezarec, a Disciple of the Witness whose consciousness had embedded itself within the Vex Network.
