[[WMG:Alien attacks are a cover-up for incompetence.]]

[[http://www.replacementdocs.com/download.php?view.110 The U.S. version of the manual]] states: "Their earth-like planet was devastated by a brutal attack of aliens. The survivors roam the galaxy on their photon spaceship ''Arkanoid'' in search of a new home. The ''Arkanoid'' is attacked and the survivors barely escape in the Vaus spacecraft. Instead of finding safety, they are now trapped in a deadly space labyrinth."

More likely, [[TheScapegoat blaming]] space aliens for the attacks on their home planet and on the ''Arkanoid'' ([[MeaningfulName get it]]? [[TheArk ark]]?) was a cover-up. This is what probaly went down:

A highly maneuverable mining spacecraft was developed, called Vaus. It could shoot a plasma ball at high velocity to break up space debris and extract minerals useful to the space program. It doubled as an EscapePod, and larger spacecraft would carry a Vaus lifeboat in case of emergencies.

Decades later, the people made their own planet inhospitable and blamed it on aliens. The rich escaped the planet on the GenerationShip ''Arkanoid''. That spacecraft wrecked due to pilot error, and again the people blamed aliens. So they all crammed into Vaus lifeboats and began mining the area for materials to repair the ''Arkanoid'' when one Vaus got trapped.
