Crew
Ghosts of Yesterday prequel novel
The Ark was mainly a transport rather than a warship, though it did possess a few powerful cannons and very strong defensive shields. These were recently enhanced to be even more formidable by Ratchet, who usually acts as the ship's pilot. It was gigantic and generally "spheroid" in design. In the Earth-year 1969, it had a run-in with the lost human ship Ghost 1 and the Decepticon starship Nemesis. Ghosts of Yesterday
