NABOO VEHICLES

FLASH SPEEDER

CLASS:

Modified SoroSuub Seraph-Class Urban Landspeeder

SIZE:

4.5 meters long

SPEED:

200 kilometers per hour

CAPACITY:

2 Royal Security Force officers

WEAPONS:

Rotating pursuit and defense blaster

DEFENSES:

Light armor plating

DESCRIPTION:

The Flash speeder, the fastest ground vehicle in Royal Security Force fleet, is a compact and agile landspeeder designed for light combat duty. It was first introduced about thirty years before the Battle of Naboo and was well received by RSF officers upon introduction. It allowed authorities to patrol narrow streets, chase down criminals, and quickyl respond to emergencies. After the Trade Federation invaded and captured Theed, Flash speeders were used by the underground resistance for recon and communication purposes. Many of these speeders were destroyed during the Battle of Naboo, but the Flash speeder continued to be an essential part of the RSF fleet.

GIAN SPEEDER

CLASS:

Modified SoroSuub V-19 Landspeeder

SIZE:

5.7 meters long

SPEED:

160 kilometers per hour

CAPACITY:

4 armed Royal Security Force officers

WEAPONS:

3 forward-facing light repeating blasters

DEFENSES:

Light armor plating

DESCRIPTION:

The V-19 was actually designed by Sorosuub to be both a civilian and military transport. The RSF favored the craft because of its narrow silhouette and well-protected thrust pods. Upon its delivery, the RSF installed three forward-facing blasters and upgraded the underside plating to withstand land mines, explosions, and natural hazards. When the Trade Federation launched its invasion, Gian speeders proved unsuitable for direct combat with AATs. When the RSF sought to reclaim Theed, Gian speeders were deployed to ambush lone AATs, allowing the resistance to reach the Palace.

NABOO ROYAL CRUISER

CLASS:

J-Type Custom-Built Diplomatic Barge

SIZE:

39 meters long, 91 meters wingspan

SPEED:

2500G and Class 0.7 hyperdrive, or 2000 kilometers per hour in atmosphere

CAPACITY:

1 pilot, 1 copilot, 1 navigator, 1 communications officer, 1 shield operator, 10 passengers, and 5 astromech droids

WEAPONS:

None

DEFENSES:

Chromium hull and deflector shield generator

DESCRIPTION:

When Senator Amidala traveled to Coruscant to vote on the Military Creation Act, the Royal House of Naboo gave her a custom-built starship handcrafted by the Theed Palace Space Engineering Corps. The chromium coat was consistent with of other starships of that class. The hyperdrive system, sensor array, deflector shield generatirs, and sublight engines were all of Nubian design. The shield generator is much more powerful and efficient than its predescessor and the ship featured two seperate yet identical hyperdrive generators to prevent costly breakdown. Despite its advanced features, the Cruiser was ripped apart by well-placed explosives, killing most of its occupants.

NABOO QUEEN'S ROYAL STARSHIP

CLASS:

Modified J-Type 327 Nubian Starship

SIZE:

76 meters long, 91 meters wingspan

SPEED:

Class 1.8 hyperdrive

CAPACITY:

Royal Quarters, Forward Hold, Main Hold with Tech Station, Raised Cockpit, and Royal Throne Room

WEAPONS:

None

DEFENSES:

Chromium hull and deflector shield generator

DESCRIPTION:

The Naboo Royal Starship was a vehicle reserved for use by the Naboo sovereign and featured a chromium-finished spaceframe. The spaceframe was designed by Theed Palace Space Engineering Corps, while the rest of the components, from the engines to the life support systems, were provided by the Nubian Design Collective. The starship is a diplomatic vessel and therefore, lacks any weapons. Its speed allows it to outrun many small starfighters and its powerful shields can withstand a great deal of damage. Sensors built into the ship can provide damage reports instantly and eight loyal astromechs are onboard to make repairs. During Queen Amidala's time in office, the starship was piloted by Ric Olie and a well-trained crew. She used the starship to travel to Tatooine and Coruscant to plead her case with the Galactic Senate.

NABOO STARFIGHTER

CLASS:

Naboo Royal N-1 Starfighter

SIZE:

11 meters long

SPEED:

3750G and Class 1 hyperdrive, or 1100 kilometers per hour in atmosphere

CAPACITY:

1 pilot and 1 astromech droid

WEAPONS:

Twin laser cannons and 10 proton torpedos

DEFENSES:

Chromium hull and deflector shield system

DESCRIPTION:

In order to escort the royal starships and scout the Naboo system, the Naboo rely on the N-1 starfighter. The chromium finish on the front end is purely decorative and reserved for starships dedicated to the Royal House. Advanced life support systems and shields protect the pilot in most conditions. The N-1 has a relatively intelligent autopilot system that received nav data from hangar outlets or Naboo flight control, allowing it to bring the fighter directly to an emerency site or back home. N-1 pilots receive extensive training inside "police cruisers" to prepare for the powerful N-1 systems. Bravo Flight used N-1 starfighters to eliminate dozens of droid fighters, while Anakin Skywalker flew inside the Droid Control Ship and destroyed the reactor with the N-1's proton torpedoes.

PADME'S STARSHIP

CLASS:

Customized H-Type Nubian Yacht

SIZE:

47.9 meters long, 8.1 meters wingspan

SPEED:

2800G and Class 0.9 hyperdrive

CAPACITY:

1 pilot, 1 co-pilot, 1 navigator, 1 comscan/shield technician, and 2 astromech droids

WEAPONS:

None

DEFENSES:

Chromium hull and deflector shield system

DESCRIPTION:

After the Naboo Royal Cruiser was destroyed on Coruscant, Padme was forced to rely on a much smaller yacht for transportation from Naboo after she returned home. The vehicle has tremendous speed, narrow silhouette, and shelterd engines, to provide the smallest sensor signature. The vessel is equipped with the most powerful shields available to the Naboo and a long range transmitter can send and receive messgaes even from the remote systems in the Outer Rim. The Yacht can support a full crew, but the vehicle was specifically designed for solo operation. Due to her role in the Battle of Naboo, the Yacht became Padme's personal starship. The starship was commandeered by Padme and Anakin to travel to Tatooine to see his mother and later to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi on Geonosis.

NABOO SKIFF

CLASS:

Modified J-Type Star Skiff

SIZE:

29.2 meters long, 49.3 meters wingspan

SPEED:

Class 0.4 hyperdrive

CAPACITY:

1 pilot, 1 navigator, and 1 gunners

WEAPONS:

Two top-mounted laser cannons

DEFENSES:

Chromium hull and deflector shield system

DESCRIPTION:

The Naboo star skiff was another vessel in the line of starships designed for the Royal House of Naboo. The skiff retained the sleek chromium finish of other royal starships, but the exposed access grills and discolored sublight engines indicated that the ship was a product of turbulent times. For the first time in a royal starship, it featured a pair of laser cannons mounted on top. The current monarch of Naboo continued the tradition of gratitude towards Senator Amidala by allowing her to use the starship. Even though Padme was more than capable of piloting the skiff, she often left the duty up to Captain Typho or C-3PO. She used the vessel to travel to Mustafar to find her husband at the end of the Clone Wars. Obi-Wan Kenobi stowed aboard in order to confront Anakin, which led to Padme's demise as Anakin took out his anger on her. Once Kenobi defeated Anakin, he took Padme to Polis Massa to get her medical attention, where she eventually passed away after giving birth to twins.
