Sith Prototype Shuttle Red Vortex Custom Andor-Era Imperial Gunship Star Wars

  

The Red Vortex was a prototype Sith-engineered assault shuttle developed during the Rogue One and Andor-era black projects. Designed for planetary siege and elite insertion missions, it carried heavy weapons payloads and cloaked Dark Side operatives to hostile worlds where silence and devastation were paramount. This custom build features a fully repainted hull using airbrushed panel shading and layered oil washes to enhance the aggressive shape of the fuselage. Red venting panels, plasma-scorched exhausts, and worn stabilisers have been finished with edge highlights, sponge chipping, and pigment streaking to suggest heat damage and intense operational use.

The side doors and loading ramp are accented with checkerboard hazard patterns, while the turret and wing nacelles have been sealed and detailed with drybrushed metallic tones to evoke battlefield grit and Sith precision. One-of-a-kind centrepiece for collectors of Sith, Imperial, or deep-lore Star Wars craft. The pieces featured are hand-painted retail toys, transformed into unique works of fan art for creative and educational purposes.
