| }}The '''Space Park''' is an [[FTL]]-capable civilian passenger liner which originally was designed to simulate gravity through centrifugal forces for its passengers at a time where artificial gravity was too expensive to utilize on a commercial ship of that size.
| |
| | |
| These passenger ships were so versatile that versions were refitted as exploration and [[Colonial Fleet|military ships]], with interiors filled with laboratories, computer systems, power generators, and the like.
| |
| | |
| Some of the Space Park liners were later upgraded to include affordable artificial gravity in lieu of centrifugal spinning, but a few modernized liners maintained the rotation for aesthetic reasons.
| |
| | |
| At least one Space Park of [The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Libra|Libran-registry]] was able to join [[the Fleet (RDM)|the Fleet]] and escape the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|destruction of the twelve colonies]]. After the discovery and settlement of [[New Caprica]], it was one of the few ships to remain in orbit, and managed to escape the Cylon blockade of the planet along with battlestars ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'' and ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]''.
