The Ark Angel was a Starship given to the Sentinels by the Haydonite Veidt. It was a starship that was 100s of meters long. Ark Angel had long range fold space capability, being able to fold all the way to Earth. The ship was equipped with arrays of both particle beam projectors and shield projectors, enough to repel a swarm of Invid shocktroopers from an Invid carrier. Haydonite defense systems worked in a manner similar to the antibodies of organics, therefore when encountering new threats the systems needed time to adapt. The vessel's shields were able to hide the ship from Invid sensors. If the ship was damaged in battle, the vessel was able to repair itself. Ark Angel possessed hangers and carried transparent "Cone Flyers". The SDF-7 was docked in one of the hangers.
After helping the Haydonites expel the Invid from Haydon IV, the Haydonites gave the Sentinels the Ark Royal, to replace the Farrago which had been destroyed earlier. Once the Ark Royal was beyond Haydon IV's planetary defense systems, it encountered a single Invid carrier. The aggressor unleashed Black Death Destroyers, new Invid mecha that were far more powerful than shocktroopers. They were saved by the Karbarran starcarrier Rrgryg which sacrificed itself to give the Ark Angel time to escape via a foldspace jump. The Ark Royal jumped to the planet Spheris, which the Sentinels liberated from the Invid.
