Social Segments / Status Ladders

There are several levels of social status amongst the crew of PAM though it rarely creates any social strife. The highest class of people are the scientists. Their labs and living quarters are near the front of the ship nearest to the cockpit, that way in the event of an emergency they can get to the bridge quickly.

The second class citizens really hate their position more than anyone else on the crew because they feel they should be the first class. They are the two apposing political groups, and they cause more problems then any other class as well. The third class citizens are the general crew of the ship, they run the ship and keep it in order and do general maintenance. They don't get a vote in any of the decision making however they would rather be left out of it anyway. They hate the clones and are very prejudice against them. They want the clone project to be terminated so everyone can live on the island.

The fourth class of the crew are the clones themselves. They have no rights and are expendable. They are put into harms way on a constant basis and the scientists and political groups move them around like chess peices. They do not get to choose how their lives go except on the island and even then there is some mind control involved.
