The Ariadne Incident is a space-time anomaly that was produced as a result of the Zohar Emulators going out of control, when the U-TIC Organization was running connection experiments with the emulators at a facility located on the planet Ariadne. Ariadne completely disappeared within the anomaly, along with with its 1.5 billion inhabitants. However, there were a few spaceships that had managed to escape. These included ships owned by the U-TIC Organization. The planet became a Gnosis called the Cathedral Ship, which is a dungeon in Episode I.
