The A'ovan homeworld was bombarded with nuclear weapons during a past conflict with the Thraal; a deliberate, targeted sterilization carried out for reasons as yet unknown. Nautica: Home A small population of refugees were able to find sanctuary on Cybertron, bringing with them the invasive skitter species, but their planet was left an irradiated wasteland. The World In Your Eyes Part Two The reigning Autobot government helped the refugees by constructing the A'ovan habitat in Iacon's Xeno-Quarter, an arcology designed to recreate the ecology of their ruined homeworld. The World In Your Eyes Part Five Cybertronian members of the planet's xenorelations department were tasked with preserving as much A'ovan culture and population as possible while searching for new location to reseed their ravaged civilization; this latter task was made more difficult due to the attitudes of the reigning Thraal government, which periodically petitioned Sentinel Prime to expel the last A'ovan so that the aliens could complete their genocide of the species—a token gesture made to appease certain anti-A'ovan hardliners within Thraal civilization. Nautica: Home
When the Tether fell, debris rained down the A'ovan habitat and killed one tenth of the arcology's population. Swindle's Not long afterwards, the Insecticons descended upon the habitat to gorge themselves on organic matter until Nautica, Road Rage, and Hound drove them away. A group of frightened A'ovan children attempted to raise Dai Atlas on their communicator, somehow rousing the Great General from his immersant status. Escape Part One When it was decided that the Xeno-Quarter would have to be evacuated in light of the Decepticons' increasing power base, the habitat was abandoned as the A'ovans marched towards Darkmount. Escape Part Two
As they marched, the A'ovan were targeted by the Insecticons once again before Autobot reinforcements chased them away. When the refugee convoy arrived at the city, Straxxus ordered them to wait outside. Escape Part Three As the group waited for admittance, a makeshift camp was set up outside the city, some of the Autobots giving rides to A'ovan children before the Insecticons returned. Escape Part Four
As the Insecticons attacked, Straxxus launched two Ark-class vessels to evacuate Darkmount. The second ship's larger energon signature drew the attention of the Insecticons and they chewed their way into its inner workings, destroying it and them while Straxxus' craft escaped. With only one Ark remaining, the Autobots turned it over to the A'ovan to evacuate, guided and protected by Dai Atlas. Escape Part Five
