This article is about the class of colony ship called the Pandora Ark. For other uses, see Pandora (disambiguation). The Pandora Ark-class colony ship was the first true colony ship launched by United Earth with the intention of colonizing other star systems. Though its production was short, it became the spring board for all future colony ship designs ever created by United Earth in the 22nd century.

Technical Data
The Pandora Ark-class were Human-built warp capable vessels which operated during the 2060s. The class was only used to any true extent during the Pandora Program to colonize the moon of Pandora. Following the completion of programs colonial launch phase in 2067, the design ceased production in favor of the Sirius Ark-class colony ship.

Speed
Before the launch of the Sirius Ark-class the Pandora Ark was the most advanced colony ship in the field for United Earth, capable of Warp .5 for extended periods of time, more than any in the civilian fleets.

Crew
The Pandora Arks could hold up to 6,000 colonists, though later upgrades allowed it to carry up to 10,000 colonists by the time the class ended production.

Armaments
These vessels were not armed.
