The Laiu Urn corvette is the most iconic product of the Stroalsent Spinnerspace shipyards. Ownership of a Laiu Urn is a symbol of prestige. Captains are also members of a club known as The Circle, who meet semi-annually.
The Laiu Urn is designed with aesthetic in mind. The sloping hull is meant to resemble aquatic animals, and the ornate filigree is in inherited from ancient elven patterns. Interior and exterior detailing is done entirely by hand. The mechanics and systems, while often manufactured by smaller companies and shipped to The Home for assembly, are carefully overseen by The Family's Spinners to ensure that there is no breach of copyright or deviation from the specifications.
This luxury yacht houses two small bays for shuttles or other small craft. Passengers benefit from spacious cabins, a recreation deck, and multiple observatories.
Its focus does not leave it an incapable warship, however. Its weapon hardpoints are retractable, and its proprietary propulsion systems make it the most maneuverable craft of its size category.

The Laiu Urn's layout is designed primarily for comfort. In addition to its dorsal and ventral observatories, its bow section also houses three other large viewing galleries that each span two floors. That section can also be configured for comfortable passenger cabins. The bridge and operations can be found on along a dorsal and ventral deck that runs the length of the craft while the aft section is densely packed with engineering and crew accommodations. At the midship is a recessed lateral hangar bay wide enough to keep a fighter or several smaller vehicles.
The Laiu Urn's frame relies on curved beams designed to distribute the forces of acceleration. While far more expensive to produce than conventional angular frames, it results in a craft that is surprisingly quiet even during burns. Crew claim that even in engineering bays, the noise of acceleration is reduced to a soothing and surreal hum.
