Lalow

Shabby cargo ship interior with no modules and cargo compartments unloaded via hatches. It features small habitable areas.

Lalow is a battered, no-frills cargo ship that serves as a vital if unglamorous setting in the later Murderbot Diaries. By Fugitive Telemetry, it functions as a shabby mobile base with stripped-down interiors, no modular add-ons, and simple habitable pockets, reflecting the pragmatic, low-budget reality of independent operators in the Corporation Rim. Its utilitarian design—cargo moved through external hatches rather than fancy loaders—highlights themes of survival and autonomy outside the corporate machine. Though it appears only briefly in the series, Lalow becomes a temporary sanctuary and operational hub for Murderbot and its allies, underscoring the contrast between gleaming station habitats and the gritty, functional vessels that keep the fringes of space running.
