ARC Corporation is an intergalactic multi-industry conglomerate. In the year 3001 AD, ARC suffered from a steep decline in stock prices. To combat this, the company decided to expand their subsidiary, ARC Hotels, to planets in uncharted space. This requires them to send scout ships to survey these planets and find suitable building locations. ARC Corporation was required to develop a new ship, The Odyssey 4901; a ship more powerful than preceding versions.
The Onboard Maintenance Robot is a robot that accompanies the Odyssey 4901. The O.M.R. is trained to defend and repair the ship. This robot is programmed with complex artificial intelligence to ensure it has human-like decision making skills. O.M.R.’s are trained in simulators which create authentic real-world situations in an artificial environment.
The Odyssey 4901 is the newest model of the Odyssey scout ships. This ship is used by ARC Corporation to survey unexplored planets for intergalactic hotel construction. Its unconventional shape makes it optimal for 360 degree environment scanning.
It runs on a futuristic warp engine allowing it to reach up to 1000 light years per hour; however it can move as slow as 10 KPH while surveying the environment.
Similar to other Odyssey models, the 4901 comes equipped with a Digital Assistant for Vehicular Exploration Unit (D.A.V.E.), as well as an Onboard Maintenance Robot (O.M.R.). Robots are used as the crew instead of humans because of the dangerous nature of uncharted space exploration.

The Digital Assistant for Vehicular Exploration or "D.A.V.E" acts as an assistant to the O.M.R, feeding it data on the ship's status and the surrounding environment. Unlike older models of the Odyssey ship, D.A.V.E also serves the purpose of navigating the ship. This allows the O.M.R. to focus solely on the maintenance and defence. D.A.V.E takes the collision deterrence data from the Odyssey's sensors to determine the best possible path to travel.
PlanetXXXX is a simulated planet used to train Onboard Maintenance Robots (O.M.R.). The planet was created to replicate the typical features and dangers of extraterrestrial planets. The predominant sentient life on the planet is the Urk species.
Diameter: 2,567 KM
Atmosphere: Lighting Storms, Meteorite showers, Dense Fog
Predominant Fauna: Urk
Predominant Flora: Spotted Aclomond, Orb
Vine, Spiked Dandelion, Blood Prene
Moons: 1
Gravity: 7.341 M/S2
The Urks are a primitive, violent, reptilian species indigenous to PlanetXXXX. They are the only sentient life on the planet. They are capable of creating crude technologies like blaster cannons, and hover cycles. Urks tend to dwell near large heat sources.
These Urks are equipped with a handheld canon that fires molten rocks at intruders. This Urk is typically found in groups near heat sources and are very cautious about unexpected visitors.
These Urks are equipped with a hovering single passenger vehicle for travelling at enormous speeds. They have only one goal in mind - protect their habitat. These Urks will attack relentlessly at potential threats.
