The Grounders (the Ark)




 * This page is about the people who fled the Apocalypse on Earth to space. For those that survived the Armagedon on Earth see The Grounders (Earth).

A grounder is a person born on Earth rather than in space. Just like the species currently living on Earth, The Grounders known on the Ark were born on the planet.

The Grounders is the formal name for the 400-odd humans who escaped the apocalypse on 12 space stations, that were combined into the Ark. Those original survivors all have their names recorded in a metal remembrance book kept on the Ark.
