In T.C. 4765, the U-TIC Organization was conducting connection experiments with the Zohar emulators at their facility on planet Ariadne. However, a space-time anomaly was produced as a result of the Zohar emulators going out of control, and Ariadne completely disappeared along with 1.5 billion inhabitants.

While it is unknown why Ariadne had been chosen as the location for the link experiments, it was on this planet that the experiments' director, Andrew, had lived in a sham marriage. Here, he had committed murder repeatedly and had been placed in a personality reconditioning facility.

There are confirmed reports of fierce winds on the planet's surface immediately before its disappearance, as well as lights in the sky similar to a multi-layered aurora. Thereafter, Ariadne became a Gnosis Cathedral Ship, made to wander the far reaches of space.
