Universe forms the last of Arktypes truly interior spaces giving home to many Ark functions requiring the high elevation.

The primary design of Universe radiates out from SkyDome, a sunroof of sorts, which allows Metropolis and Plateaus

below to become an open-air theater space while under theAnalogCalm. To the southeast of SkyDome wraps the assembly

of the PowerOrb and the PowerStation. All the differing energy forms being collected by the EnergyFarm above,

channel to and are converted by the PowerOrb into palladium which is fed as catalyst to the PowerStation for distribution

to all of theArk's systems via ColdFusion. Arrival at Universe happens only at theAxis, and from theAxis emanates

the secondary design of Universe. Canting out from the backside of theAxis is MoonStation, theArk's fountainhead

of pirate broadcasting under both the AnalogCalm as well as the DigitalStorm. Housing both broadcast and

engineering facilities, MoonStation is home to TribeRadio. Due south from theAxis is found SpaceDeck, a geodesically

domed disk that offers meditative contemplation of the universe. It is also home to KeyOrbThree with the third highest

priority within the Orb neuro-network. KeyOrbThree acts as the primary TribeSatellite interface while under the

AnalogCalm. Connecting to the southern circumference of SpaceDeck are two SkyPods which contain TribeDigitalParallax

telescopes for both examining the universe as well as tracking TribeSatellite activity. Paradoxically rounding off

Universe is the SkyTube, an interior cylindrical single-lane lap swimming tube, included at Universe solely for

the pleasure of swimming under the stars.
