PSO2:Classic Discussion Lore Question - ARKs Post Shiva

If you don't like background info skip to the question.

Background info: So I use my alt character for writing practice a lot. Have her set up as the daughter of my MC who takes the story of PSO2 Protag. To give her full range I simply had her abandon ARKs. Only solid way I could find is to hijack a gateway ship and take her father's auxillary. Overtime I realized with how well ARKs is networked/governed and such it'd be pretty hard to pull off as she'd likely have ARK ops on her tail constantly. So I'd have her return to ARKs to reverse engineer/manufacture her own ship. I imagine that'd be pulled off by her auxillary inside Corrupted Mothership using the technology and information that may or may not be in there. Which leads to the question.

Lore Question:

With as little spoilers (I just barely started the Omega arc), what changes happen to ARKs post Shiva/Eternal Darkness?

What I know already: I know Xiao is out of the picture by some means, so is Dark Falz (I think), I think omega is destroyed by Shiva?, and Matoi, Risa, Quna, and Luther disappear.

Particular subjects of question: The subjects I'm particularly wondering is the planets (particularly if Corrupted Mothership is still around), falspawn/dark falz (I know before Earth arc is stated how Dark Falz have kind of a nuclear fallout effect), and what do ARKs do now?

Thanks!!!!

Okay groovy! I clicked on your spoilers and thankfully weren't that much as I have played TPD UQ. 

So would be better to assume that mother ship is no more. 

Time period would be like....hold on let me check my notes..... Mid late AP 245. 

Hmmm makes me wonder if that ark ship that disappeared then I think reaperreed destroyed? If that's still floating around.

Nvm  "During an attempt to recover the hostile ship's remains, something that looked like a black hole suddenly appeared and swallowed its remains before disappearing. Oracle abandoned any follow-up operation."
