N-1 Starfighter

The sleek and deadly Naboo Royal N-1 Starfighter is utilised by the Naboo for scouting and patrolling their system. It is manufactured by Theed Palace Space Vessel Engineering Corps which is responsible for manufacturing Naboo royal starships. The N-1 features the best elements on Naboo design and is aesthetically sound, adherenting to the Naboo's love for curves and aerodynamic shapes. A chromium finish on the front of the vehicle gleams in the sunlight during parades and celebratory fly-bys. This chromium is purely decorative and is only reserved for starships serving the Naboo Royal House. The rest of the N-1 is yellow in colour.

The citizens of Naboo are dedicated to defending their ecologicaly sensitive world, and the N-1 is an example of this commitment. Its specialized engine sistem ensures that fuel burns hotter in order to reduce harmful emissions that threathen the environment. An advanced cooling system which incorporates several heat sinks along the engine finials, prevents overheating. The rear finial can be connected to special outlets in Naboo hangars that recharge the craft and transmit important data, even coded mission profiles.

The N-1's duties include reconnaissance missions, escort duty and ceremonial functions. In order to accompany the Queen's starship to Coruscant or other distant planets, the N-1 was fitted with a Nubian Monarc C-4 hyperdrive with a range of 1,000 light years. The pilot is also protected by advanced life support systems and deflector shields. An astromech droid like an R2 unit helps the pilot with repairs and adjustments. The N-1 starfighter also has an advance autopilot computer that received navigational information from hangar outlets or Naboo flight control. In a crisis, the autopilot an bring the craft to the site of an emergency or pilot the ship home safely. The N-1's weapons are twin laser cannons and a full complement of 10 proton torpedos. These are powerful enough to allow the N-1 to engage even the Droid Starfighters of the Trade Federation Droid Control Ship as was the case during the Battle of Naboo in the Phantom Menace.
