LUXURY IN CLOSE-UP: THE 'RISING STAR'!

A great look at the vessel as seen in auction a few years back.

The Galactica series equivalent of a luxury super cruise liner like the Queen Mary, the striking Rising Star vessel, a proud commercial vehicle that sailed the stars around the Twelve Colonies, would eventually become home, at first, to orphans, separated families, and, sadly, as a bolt hole of sorts to the corrupt super rich. But as time went on, and the Colonial Rag-Tag Fleet re-organised itself, it would became a place for recreation and sports for the human survivors to enjoy once again.

The vessel made a fine place for drama and comedy in the second half of the original series run and soon became one of its classic space vehicles.
