Very high probability they all kill each other onboard

  It's not actually a thing, and has never happened historically, at least not that i could find. Even widespread crime and civil wars don't result in 'they all killed each other', and no war ever killed even 30% of the population. There have been many isolated communities and if they die, thats because they succumb to diseasse or disaster.

    How would there be a historical record of a community that killed itself entirely? Also, all these historical examples occur in the context of having millions of acres to roam, probably access to a lake or ocean, sunshine, fruits, seeing other animals, and so on (the natural habitat of humans). Even in prison they get yard time, and prisons are extremely violent. The number of generations it would take to travel ### lightyears away is so high that _something_ is just bound to happen. What if one of the generations gets hooked on bath salts? What if they get irradiated and lose fertility? What if they start a cult? What if there's a lone wolf killer who takes them all out?

      Obviously there are tools, books, houses and buildings. A civilisation doesn't just vanish, it leaves a mark on the world.
