Royal Crusader

The Naboo Royal Crusaders were the elite members of the Royal Naboo Security Forces. In battle, they rode on large, powerful guarlara steeds and charged into the heart of enemy infantry. They employed powerful melee weapons rather than blaster rifles, and they were outfitted at Security Force Fortresses. Crusaders were typically more equipped for attacking mechanized units. In addition to the Crusaders, the even more well-equipped Elite Royal Crusaders could deal more powerful blows to enemy forces on the battlefield. Seven Crusaders were used during the Trade Federation Invasion of Naboo to defend Harte Secur in 32 BBY.

Behind the scenes
Royal Crusaders and Elite Royal Crusaders appear in the 2001 video game Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds and its 2002 expansion pack Clone Campaigns during the second Trade Federation mission. They are the Naboo civilization's special units which are produced at Fortresses for a cost of 100 units of food and 80 units of nova crystals. The unit is weak against Jedi and aircraft and is strong against turrets, assault mechs, and troopers.
