The Space Park is an FTL-capable civilian passenger liner in the Fleet 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 Libran-registry passenger ships were so versatile that versions were refitted as exploration and 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.
