Guardian (The Ark)

The Guardians were the humans who oversaw the Ark's 700 year journey to Refusis II while the rest of Earth's pre-destruction population were kept in miniaturised suspended animation. The Guardians were deposed by the Monoids. (TV: The Ark)

The Book of the War mentioned that the group of early posthuman era Arcadians who had the strongest bio-socio-psycho-emotional link to Earth were the self-termed "guardians". It detailed they were mostly composed of the final generations of survivors from Earth and, in a "ludicrous colonial throwback", were determined to establish themselves on the nearest available Earth-like planet.
