And a follow up question

Are there any cozies set in generation starships? If not, why not?

Although cozies have a small case and set, they are set in a wider world. If the eccentric drawing room inhabitants had been born and raised in the manor, as had the staff, and had no interaction whatsoever with the outside world (except maybe listening to the BBC), and had to not only solve the mystery but arrest, try, and punish the miscreant themselves…

They what you'd have wouldn't be a cozy, really, but more of a "Lord of the Flies for grownups".

Judge Dredd has actually had cozy story arcs, generally the mystery is solved in the penultimate issue and the final one is a chase scene after the guilty party tries to kill everyone in the "drawing room" including Dredd as Dredd is about to pass judgement.
