	As with many models from [[Zoic]] originating from the [[Miniseries]] (known in its earlier incarnation as the [[Gemon Liners]]), this version was re-engineered by [[Fabio Passaro]] (Meshweaver) by the in-house visual effects team under [[Gary Hutzel]], and featured at three different quality variations: a "hero" model detailed for closeups, a "medium" model for mid-range shots, and a "low" model for deep background shots requiring minimal detail.<ref name="meshweaver">{{cite_web\|url=https://www.meshweaver.com/battlestar-galactica--tv-series.html\|title=Battlestar Galactica TV Series -- In house VFX Department\|date=\|accessdate=26 April 2021\|last=Passaro\|first=Fabio\|format=\|language=}}</ref>		As with many models from [[Zoic]] originating from the [[Miniseries]] (known in its earlier incarnation as the [[Gemon Liners]]), this version was re-engineered by [[Fabio Passaro]] (Meshweaver) by the in-house visual effects team under [[Gary Hutzel]], and featured at three different quality variations: a "hero" model detailed for closeups, a "medium" model for mid-range shots, and a "low" model for deep background shots requiring minimal detail.<ref name="meshweaver">{{cite_web\|url=https://www.meshweaver.com/battlestar-galactica--tv-series.html\|title=Battlestar Galactica TV Series—In house VFX Department\|date=\|accessdate=26 April 2021\|last=Passaro\|first=Fabio\|format=\|language=}}</ref>

	According to Passaro, he was contacted in 2006 CE to provide these enhanced models of various background ships, starting with the "flat-fin back" type. In addition to quality improvements, both a clean and dirty version of three distinct "skins" were made: a [[Sagitarrian Spaceways]], a [[Pan Galactic]], and a generic version.<ref name="meshweaver"/>		According to Passaro, he was contacted in 2006 CE to provide these enhanced models of various background ships, starting with the "flat-fin back" type.

	At the time of the attacks, many of these ships became stranded in the space lanes surrounding the Colonies. They attempt to gather, but are found by a Cylon scout and are forced to flee to Ragnar, leaving behind many of the sublight ships. After a brief rendezvous, these and many other Colonial craft are able to escape with ''[[Galactica (~~RDM~~)\|Galactica]]''. They survive the harrowing multi-year journey across the galaxy fairly unscathed. However, two liners, ''[[Olympic Carrier]]'' and ''[[Pyxis]]'', are lost in battle {{TRS33\|He That Believeth in Me}}. The surviving ships are scuttled after the Colonials find a new planet to call [[Earth (RDM)\|home]] {{TRS\|Daybreak}}.

	These liners share many of the capabilities of the first type of liner. Designed for interplanetary travel, these liners feature a semi-spacious interior, and a large storage bay for luggage. The cockpit is located at the front, with the passenger seating in the middle, and the aft compartments held the ship's two sublight boosters and FTL drives. It is unknown if these ships are employed elsewhere, but they have been quite popular on {{RDM\|Caprica}} since before the start of the [[Cylon War]] (''[[Caprica (series)\|Caprica]]'').

	At the time of the attacks, only one ship of this configuration survives, ''[[Colonial Heavy 798]]'', carrying Secretary of Education [[Laura Roslin]] to ''[[Galactica (~~RDM~~)\|Galactica]]'' home after its decommissioning ceremony. Following the death of President [[Richard Adar]] and the rest of his administration, Laura Roslin is sworn in a President of the Colonies, after which ''798'' becomes ''[[Colonial One]]'' {{TRS\|Miniseries}}.

These passenger liners could hold up to fifteen hundred people, or as few as six hundred, depending on accommodations {{TRS33\|He That Believeth in Me}}.		Liners of a '''flat-fin back type'''{{term}} share a unique fish-like design that make them well suited for interplanetary and inter-atmospheric travel, a common occurrence as these ships arrived at and departed from their destinations. The cockpit is located at the front, with the passenger seating in the middle, and aft compartments that hold the ship's four sublight boosters; the FTL drive is presumably housed along the bottom of the craft. Each unit was custom painted, depending on the operator.

	At the time of the attacks, many of these ships became stranded in the space lanes surrounding the Colonies. They attempt to gather, but are found by a Cylon scout and are forced to flee to Ragnar, leaving behind many of the sublight ships. After a brief rendezvous, these and many other Colonial craft are able to escape with ''[[Galactica (~~RDM~~)\|Galactica]]''. They survive the harrowing multi-year journey across the galaxy fairly unscathed. However, two liners, ''[[Olympic Carrier]]'' and ''[[Pyxis]]'', are lost in battle {{TRS33\|He That Believeth in Me}}. The surviving ships are scuttled after the Colonials find a new planet to call [[Earth (RDM)\|home]] {{TRS\|Daybreak}}.

	These liners share many of the capabilities of the first type of liner. Designed for interplanetary travel, these liners feature a semi-spacious interior, and a large storage bay for luggage. The cockpit is located at the front, with the passenger seating in the middle, and the aft compartments held the ship's two sublight boosters and FTL drives. It is unknown if these ships are employed elsewhere, but they have been quite popular on {{RDM\|Caprica}} since before the start of the [[Cylon War]] (''[[Caprica (series)\|Caprica]]'').

	At the time of the attacks, only one ship of this configuration survives, ''[[Colonial Heavy 798]]'', carrying Secretary of Education [[Laura Roslin]] to ''[[Galactica (~~RDM~~)\|Galactica]]'' home after its decommissioning ceremony. Following the death of President [[Richard Adar]] and the rest of his administration, Laura Roslin is sworn in a President of the Colonies, after which ''798'' becomes ''[[Colonial One]]'' {{TRS\|Miniseries}}.
