Rising Star was a Galactican-built passenger liner.
History[]
Following the destruction of the Twelve Colonies of Man, Rising Star began evacuating women and children from Caprica to join a refugee fleet bound for Earth. During this evacuation, Riftis, Elias and Karibdis bribed their way on board the ship, which necessitated leaving behind three children.[1]
Design[]
Rising Star had access to Shuttles on its lower side, requiring boarding parties to enter via the engineering deck. Above this was a large passenger deck consisting largely of seats to maximise the occupants for transport. On the top deck was "elite class", where high-paying passengers were able to have their own suits.
