The Arks?
A commenter asked a question if the Arks are supposed to be the Arkz from Phantasy Star Online Episode 3. The spelling of these two factions are slightly different in Katakana. アークズ Arkz is the official spelling of the Card Revolution faction, and アークス Arks is the spelling Japanese news sites use to describe what they saw in the PSO2 trailer.
