The other thing is that the aegis fate was on sandtrap,but i don't know if it's on the ark.
Firstly, nobody knows where sandtrap takes place. Secondly, as I said before, multiplayer maps are a questionable canon source. Aegis Fate is merely an easter egg for the observant player to make the map more interesting. There is no concrete evidence to suggest any other ship bar the Dawn went to the Ark.
The maps are canon.
Quotes from opog's post:
How important is it for a new map to fit somewhere into the existing Halo storyline?
DM: In general, our philosophy is to build a map that's fun to play and looks great and find ways to weave it into the storyline afterwards.
LB: Sure, it's not super important that it fits into the current game's storyline, but it must be fictionally relevant. We want these locations to fit in with the universe, obviously. They might not be exactly where the current game is taking place, but they are in similar locations, or other parts of where the existing campaign is taking place. With the multiplayer maps we try to expand the universe and tell our own stories with each location.
GameSpy: Although multiplayer doesn't continue the story, it seems like each level has its own back-story. Is that your doing?
Joe Staten: My only real contribution to the design of the multiplayer maps was a little writing for their' UI descriptions and a lot of whining that they had too few cherry sniper-spots (yes, I'm one of those players). We all wanted to make sure the multiplayer maps were reminiscent of Halo 2 locales and, therefore, rooted in the single-player fiction, but the success of that effort is all the multiplayer team's doing.
