When People think of SF set in space, especially specific series, there are certain spaceships that everyone thinks of: The Enterprise, An Imperial Star Destroyer, Serenity, the Galactica. But many of these come from Fictional universes that are huge, with lots of other Beautiful, graceful, or otherwise awesome ships that get very little screen time. This is the place for you to post your favorite underrated spaceship, weather it's been overshadowed by "main character" ships, or just not from a well known franchise, let's hear about it.
To start off, My current Avatar, the Lurcrehulk-class of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, is best known as the Droid Control ship from Star Wars Episode I. They were also seen in parts in Episode II, and Wrecking Shop over Coruscant in the opening of Episode III. They were Freighters before the war, converted to Transports, Carriers, and eventually Proper Warships.
Second, the USS Reliant NCC-1864, from ST:II . The ship Kahn stole and made his own. The Upside Down ship. The grace and character of the Miranda-class were imitated by the Nebula-class decades later, but you really can't match a classic like this.
