The Colonials flew an old-style class of liner relegated to support roles or adopted as cargo transports.
Following the destruction of the Twelve Colonies, however, at least one of these old vessels is transformed into a prison barge, where criminals were detained.
Prisoners on such a vessel are sometimes referred to (impolitely) as Barge Lice. Ownership of security operations is overseen by Council Security (TOS: "Baltar's Escape").
Usage
Upon visiting the Fleet, Baltar is detained by Count Iblis and the Quorum of Twelve, and sentenced to the Barge. He is later visited there by Iblis, where Baltar comes to the conclusion that Iblis had a hand in the start of the Thousand-Yahren War (TOS: "War of the Gods, Part II"). During his stay, Baltar is briefly released by Apollo as a lure to draw out Karibdis (TOS: "Murder on the Rising Star"), but is assigned mess duty (TOS: "Baltar's Escape").
Maga, along with his subordinates Bora and Taba, are incarcerated aboard as a result of their failed blood hunt for Chameleon (TOS: "The Man with Nine Lives").
The Eastern Alliance enforcers led by Commandant Leiter that were captured on Paradeen are briefly incarcerated aboard the Barge. As a result of Sire Domra's ill-advised attempt to negotiate with Leiter, he and his enforcers align with Baltar and the Borellian Nomen trio to escape; all but Baltar are successful (TOS: "Baltar's Escape").
Sections
The Prison Barge features numerous amenities for its inmates. In addition to solitary cells, some of which are located on Epsilon deck, Beta deck is the location of the ship's mess hall (TOS: "Baltar's Escape").
The ship's docking bay is in an aperture on the underside of the Barge (TOS: "Murder on the Rising Star", "Baltar's Escape").
An armory and storage area are aboard, where the prisoners' possessions are kept following their intake; the Nomen and Eastern Alliance enforcers make use of this to acquire their equipment, clothing, and laser rifles (TOS: "Baltar's Escape").
Notes
- In the Re-imagined Series, Astral Queen is a homage in both the design and purpose of the Original Series' ship.
- The Prison Barge model is reused as Mr. Duvronan's shuttle in Buck Rogers in the 25th Century's "Planet of the Amazon Women" as well as an actual ship display model in "Return of the Fighting 69th." It was later redressed as a Zaad supply ship for "Flight of the War Witch," and as a Dorian ship in the Buck Rogers' series finale, "The Dorian Secret."
