The ark was automated and the central computer systems were mostly destroyed with the rest of the ark. Some computational units were recovered, along with some robots, but the AI in the units seems to be sub-sentient.

The ark was on an apparently endless mission to collect breeding populations of sapient life forms. Most were found by radio transmissions, but some were found by probes sent to solar systems it was passing by.

It is doubtful that the builders of the Ark are going to seek to recover it, given that it had been traveling at 15% the speed of light (apparently its maximum velocity) for a few thousand years. However, most projections of the route indicate it is winding enough for the probable origin to be merely 300 ly away.

Q20
Are there strategic resources that are fought over? If so, what are they? If not, what are wars fought over?
