An Ark Module is a ship [[component]] that allows you to house colonists in orbit around a [[colony]], instead of needing them to live on the surface. They are most useful for worlds that have high [[colony cost]]s, where planetary workforce is difficult to support. They are the [[CSharp|C#]] equivalent to [[VB6]]'s [[Orbital Habitat Module]]s.

Each Ark Module provides [[infrastructure|living space]] to house 200,000 colonists. To be used, the ship must be in orbit of one of your [[colony|colonies]]. The Ark can neither transport colonists, nor hold a population in deep space - it only increases the population capacity of the [[body]] that it orbits. Due to their immense size, they are almost always built into [[space station]]s, and moved to their destination by [[tug]]. 

To fill them with colonists, it's the same as filling any other colony with colonists. Either send your [[Cryogenic Transport|colony ships]] to the planet, or wait for the [[Commercial Shipping]] lines to do it for you.
