My new theory:

It has been a whole generation since the Nuclear War, and the Ark still has not been formed, the survivors on the ground are still hiding underground, and Polaris Station is still in orbit. The first children are being born on the 13 stations, but it is discovered that these children all have black blood for some unknown reason (maybe being born in space affects your blood?). Soon after (due to events unrelated to the black blooded kids) the Orbital War takes place and Polaris is blown out of the sky, with black blooded people still onboard and the survivors of the crash made contact with the newly emerged Grounders and became the first Nightbloods and eventually Polaris became known as Polis. When the Ark was formed, they genetically engineered themselves to get the red blood gene back.
