Competition: Raid #1 Design - Transport Colors

Finished
Raid #1 Design - Transport Colors

The Sphere of Research and Intelligence and it's recently acquired military assets, Strike Force Valiant, are launching an attack on the rogue First Order research garrison recently setup on Felucia. The Box of Nidavellir, a battered old GR-75 transport and mobile research and development centre for the Sphere of Research & Intelligence, does not partake in the battle and instead sits docked at SRI Headquarters.

A quick retrofit of the Nidavellir is scheduled to take place immediately, with a new paint job on the docket. To assist, the research arm of the Sphere is seeking all possible plans and design options available.

Prompt

Your entry has the opportunity to shape House Ektrosis' micro-Taldryan storyline.

Write a custom cosmetic aspect (following the regular custom aspect guidelines) that depicts the retrofitted Box of Nidavellir transport in her new colors. Is the hull a sharper or rounder shape, or has it stayed the same? Does it have a blood red paint job, or pretty pink?

During its retrofit, [item name] has been given a chalk base coating with two stripes running along the whole length of the hull on its starboard side. One of which is of a crimson color and a about twice as wide as its dark grey neighbor. However the two stripes are split near the stern of the ship by the circular crest of the SRI, easily identifying it as part of Strike Force Valiant. On the underside, [item name] has had part of its cargo-modules swapped with specialized drop-containers of different colors and special markings to reflect its individual use.

Hidden In Plain Sight

The Box of Nidavellir, in an attempt to look as neutral as possible, has had it's entire hull painted in the most forgettable shade of beige. The intent is that the color is so boring and unremarkable that the ship all but blends into the background of almost any being's memory.
