The first image was a keyframe done for StarWars: Secrets of the Empire. This was the lower portion of a Mustafar Imperial landing Platform/Bunker.
The next set of images are of the Skiff which is used on Mustafar to transport Stormtroopers. The pilot’s seat is able to rotate around the platform to drop or pick up troopers depending on the terrain. The panels to the right and left are able to extend upward, giving cover to the troopers in case of a lava burst or a shootout.
The stormtroopers are your classic design. The task was to make them a tad different than the others by adding an armband, pauldron, decals and color variation to the armor.
The last set images are of sketches that showcase different angles of the skiff design.
