Star Wars - Starhook Ten (Twilight Render)

Description

Starhook Ten was a large freighter from the Expanded Star Wars Universe, (now retconned since the release of Episode VII), and appeared in the Dark Horse Comics series Dark Empire II which was published in 1995.

The ship was used by the Corellian smuggler Shug Ninx who operated the "Spacebarn" a massive shipyard facility on the planet Nar Shaddaa that was a secret haven for smugglers to repair and modify their ships. Ninx, along with his partner Salla Zend, (who was also former girlfriend of Han Solo), used Starhook Ten on a mission to sneak onto the Imperial-held world of Byss to locate and retrieve Salla's ship the Starlight Intruder which had been impounded by Imperial authorities.

Ninx slipped past the Imperial checkpoint using a phony access code and the callsign "Salvager III" leaving some arguments that Salvager III and Starhook Ten were two completely different ships. In the comic however, both ships appeared identical. After locating the Intruder, Ninx and Salla discover the ship had been stripped for parts, some of it used to build massive battle droids. They then encounter some trapped Rebels on Byss and help them escape. From then on they refer to the Salvager as Starhook Ten.

There was never any published information about the ship stating it's "make and model" so it would appear that Starhook Ten may have been a fully custom ship built by Ninx probably at his Spacebarn facility. Ninx referred to the Starhook as a "Space Truck" befitting it's tractor-trailer-like appearance.

I made this model in SketchUp and made textures for it in Photoshop. Although the design of the ship is rather simple, I spent a lot of time covering it with greebles galore. This model has textures that are light emitters in the rendering plug-in called Twilight Render 2.0. If you have this plugin objects colored red and orange should light up in the renderer. Also the background image probably won't appear in he render unless you go into the Styles menu, select Watermark and extract the background image to your computer. Under Twilight's Environment Menu you can then select the background image to view it with the render.
