Description: Laravan Corporation's flagship luxury airspeeder was designed by Silara Vantai for the express purpose of providing luxury transportation to those with the money to afford it, aiming for a higher-class clientele. Keeping this in mind, the vehicle was intended to provide comfort over recreational use, and thus the speed was left below what was considered average for airspeeders, perhaps even lower than most luxury airspeeders. Each of the eight seats, counting the pilot seat, have a base-line seat covering of leather made from Crosh-hide with an option of being replaced with special custom orders. The controls were lined with a thin coating of platinum for added aesthetics, the vehicle itself was created using a Desh-Terenthium alloy blend to allow for a reduced weight over that of Durasteel, and the windows were made with transparisteel.
