The ragtag fleet of Colonial ships fleeing the Cylon war machine includes a handful of high-class luxury liners like the Virgon Stellar 5000. Those who had these ships available were generally captains of industry, wealthy merchants, or blue blooded aristocrats. They loaded all of their friends and acquaintences to flee to the stars and often attempted to live in luxury while the bulk of the fleet starved. This did not last long, as Colonial Warriors and technicians assigned to inspect each ship in the fleet reported such conditions and adjustments were made.
While cabins have been repartitioned to support more passengers, and many of the luxury items have been sacrificed, there is still a certain prestige to the ships. Most of the people assigned to them either maintain an important position within the current social framework, or held a position of respect before the massacre.
