Description

These sleek vessels rank among the poshest ways to travel among the Twelve Colonies. Modeled after the sleek lines of a fish, they sail gracefully through planetary atmospheres and into space, making short hyperlight jumps with ease. The design was so successful that it was adopted by many Colonial starlines, and several different Colonies produced them under license. Many of these vessels travel with the Battlestar Galactica’s ragtag fleet. The Olympic Carrier is one of the more famous of these ships. Other such vessels in the fleet include the Cloud Nine and the Rising Star. Like most commercial ships, luxury starliners are completely defenseless, making them easy targets for enemy attack. This weakness resulted in the destruction of many of these famous ships during the Cylon conquest of the Twelve Colonies.
