Darth Vader's black Eta-2 Actis-class interceptor

Darth Vader's Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptor This black-hued Eta-2 Actis-class interceptor belonged to Darth Vader.

History
Following the Clone Wars, Darth Vader piloted this Eta-2 Actis-class interceptor during some of his early missions for Palpatine as the Great Jedi Purge continued, sometimes flanked by Alpha-3 Nimbus-class V-wing starfighters. Vader often used the astromech droid R4-K5 while piloting the interceptor.

Vader's opinion of the craft was very low, due to the fact that his cumbersome armor made it incredibly difficult to comfortably fit into the cockpit. He quickly switched to his TIE Advanced X1 as soon as it was ready.
