Naboo N-1 Royal Starfighter

An example of the beauty and artistry of the Naboo people, the N-1 starfighter is the premier space combat vessel for the security volunteers of that tranquil world. Designed to be aesthetically appealing as well as ecologically friendly, the N-1 starfighter was a moderately armed space combat vessel created to protect Naboo and the space around it from pirates and raiders. Despite the pleasing appearance of the N-1, the vessel is a capable defense fighter that sees a surprising amount of action while protecting the peaceful world of Naboo.

     Each N-1 starfighter is embellished with a chromium coating on the nose and forward sections of the engines, a sign that it is a part of the Naboo Royal House. Primarily used for defensive missions, the N-1 fighter also serves as part of the monarchy’s honor guard when traveling abroad, escorting the Royal Transport ships throughout the galaxy. N-1 starfighters are sometimes loaned to VIPs and other important visitors to escort their starships while in the Naboo system, though this is a relatively rare occurrence.

Capabilities

Unlike many other planetary defense fighters, the N-1 starfighter is equipped with powerful weapon systems. Despite its outward appearance as a piece of art, the N-1 carries laser cannons and proton torpedoes that rival those used by strictly military vessels. the mere presence of proton torpedoes puts the vessel in a higher class of combat starships, allowing it to drive off raiders that have competitive weaponry. Though N-1 pilots are not always the most experienced, the weapons aboard the ship can usually make up for the discrepancy.

     At first glance, the N-1’s offensive capabilities seem out of place for a world where war and violence are eschewed. However, the N-1 is used as a vehicle of deterrence, responding to attacks by pirates and raiders with enough force to encourage enemies to seek out other star systems to prey upon. Additionally, the N-1 starfighter’s shields and other defense systems are robust enough that even persistent attackers will suffer heavy casualties in the time it takes to penetrate Naboo’s defenses.
