}}The '''Space Park''' is an [[FTL]]-capable civilian passenger liner. This passenger liner design was so successful that it was adapted for scientific and military uses by replacing passenger accomodation with laboratories, auxiliary power generators, and computer cores.
 
It's enormous ring section was designed in the days when artificial gravity was too expensive to utilize on a commercial ship of that size.
 
Some of the Space Park liners were later upgraded to include affordable artificial gravity therefore eliminating the need for their rings to rotate. Few modernized ring liners maintained it's 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]] ([[Miniseries]]).
 
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]]'' ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I]]).
