Talk:Nerva Beacon

This page says the Nerva Beacon launched in 6087, due to a line in one of the audio dramas. This contradicts the episode itself, however, in which the Doctor says that the ship is from the late 29th or early 30th century - a good three thousand years earlier. -- 24.4.120.181talk to me 05:23, May 26, 2014 (UTC)

We do know that the Nerva Beacon existed long before it was converted into a space ark, but I don't actually recall "6087" being given as the exact year of launch. Admittedly, Wirrn Isle says that The Ark in Space happened in 16087, and the colonists were frozen for "several thousand years" past their 5000-year aim, but even the "10,000" (mentioned only twice in Ark) is given as an approximation. If someone could provide the line from Wirrn Isle that says that Ark happened in 6087, that'd be appreciated. -- Constonks 02:13, Aug 30, 2014 (UTC)
