Just as with the early days of ocean travel, you would generally have three levels of travel: first class, one just below, and down deep below decks, those traveling steerage. A small group can also pool all their resources, for instance, charter a ship one-way just far enough as B5, and hope to find work or new opportunities on far-away worlds. When this doesn't happen, they linger...sometimes for a long time.
