== Synopsis == | |||
Ninety-seven years after a devastating [[w:Nuclear holocaust|nuclear apocalypse]] wipes out almost all life on Earth, thousands of people now live in a [[w:Space habitat|space station]] orbiting Earth, which they call the Ark. Three [[w:Generation|generations]] have been born in space, but when life-support systems on the Ark begin to fail, one hundred juvenile [[w:Detainees|detainees]] are sent to Earth in a last attempt to determine whether it is habitable, or at least save resources for the remaining residents of the Ark. They discover that some survived the apocalypse: the grounders, who live in clans locked in a power struggle; the Reapers, another group of grounders who have been turned into cannibals by the Mountain Men; and the Mountain Men, who live in [[w:Mount Weather|Mount Weather]], descended from those who locked themselves away before the apocalypse. Under the leadership of Bellamy and Clarke, the juveniles attempt to survive the harsh surface conditions, battle hostile grounders and establish communication with the Ark. | |||
== Justice and Peace == | |||
In order to maintain order on The Ark, a strict system of justice is put into place, which resembles a dictatorial government more than a democratic form a society. Thelonious Jaha was the last Chancellor of the Council that governed the Ark. As the Chancellor, Jaha had a major role on the Ark, that brought on many hard decisions and challenges, such as ending the lives of hundreds of people in order to save thousands, or choosing to stay behind on the Ark to ensure that some of humanity can return to their home planet. | |||
