Throughout the series[]
The 100[]
In The 100, the ship is described mainly through Glass Sorenson's point of view, as she travels often from Phoenix to Walden. Wells Jaha and Clarke Griffin describe the Phoenix facilities such as the library. Through Clarke we learn that her parents had a lab hidden in their apartment where they conducted experiments. In the first book we also find out the ship is starting to show defects because of old age, and we find that oxygen will reach critical levels soon. Wells speeds up this process after Clarke's conviction, urging the council to send "the 100" down to earth.
Day 21[]
In Day 21, it was revealed that inhabitants of the Colony has previously been sent to earth. They caused conflict with the Earthborn, which is why the delinquents weren't received with open arms by the earth natives.
