Following Curtis' defection from The Sith Empire, he made the decision to commission a ship of his own to be build. The result was The Red Glare, named after its distinctive red plating. Created for use as a personal transport and stealth ship, The Red Glare lacks heavy armaments or defensive layers, instead relying on speed and manoeuvrability to avoid enemy fire and escape hostile environments.
Due to this, the ship is most useful when employed in a reconnaissance or infiltration role, using its onboard stealth and jamming systems to slip behind enemy lines. The stealth system has a long recharge time, but while in use provides near perfect cover for 30 minutes, although if struck by a weapon the system will enter emergency shutdown, revealing The Red Glare.
