Additional Information


The Space Park is an FTL-capable civilian passenger liner that mangages escape the destruction of the Twelve Colonies to join the Fleet (Miniseries).

After the discovery and settlement of New Caprica, the ship is one of the few to remain in orbit (its shape may make it impractical or impossible to land). It manages to escape the Cylon blockade of the planet along with battlestars Galactica and Pegasus (Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II).

The Space Park is among the first ships taken through the star cluster towards the algae planet (The Passage) and is among the first ships to jump into the Ionian nebula before losing power (Crossroads, Part II).

The ship is severely damaged by two missile strikes in the Battle of the Ionian Nebula, but survives and is still capable of flight (He That Believeth In Me). A few days later, the damaged portion of the ring itself is being repaired (Six of One).

Approximately two months later, the ring section has been largely repaired and is spinning, but only on occasion (Guess What's Coming To Dinner?).

The Space Park is amongst the group of ships that successfully arrive at Earth (Revelations).

Additional Information[edit]

The following information was previously available on the SciFi Channel website. It should be noted that information from that website, while being official, is unreliable and may be contradicted on screen:
  • The Space Park is of Libran registry.
  • Its enormous ring section was designed in the days when artificial gravity was too expensive to utilize on a commercial ship of that size.
  • This passenger liner design was so successful that it was adapted for scientific and military uses by replacing passenger accommodation with laboratories, auxiliary power generators, and computer cores.

Notes[edit]

  • The repair of the Space Park is the first time that large scale repair operations to the outside of a ship within the Fleet can be seen on screen.
  • It appears that the Space Park is one in a series of ships that has undergone a design retcon (others include the Viper Mark VII, the Cylon basestar, and the Cylon Raider/Heavy Raider) in the third season. The new version appears the be more weathered - with far fewer "clean" lines than the original model - and bears a thickened neck section and a jagged antenna-like device that replaces the needle nose of the original.
