J-type diplomatic barge/Legends



The Naboo Royal Cruiser was a large, royal starship created by the Theed Palace Space Vessel Engineering Corps for Naboo's royality. It didn't not carry any weapons. This particular vessel was different from others because of its fueling system. N-1 Starfighters, because of their short-range capacity, could dock on the wings of the craft to refuel. This was very helpful during long trips that needed protection throughout.

The vessel was used to transport Senator Padmé Amidala to Coruscant in 22 BBY on the day of the vote of the Military Creation Act. On that gloomy day on Coruscant, the starship was destroyed seconds after landing by Zam Wesell the bounty hunter in an attempt to kill the senator. Zam failed, though. Senator Amidala used a decoy on the barge, her handmaiden Cordé in her place to fool the suspected bounty hunters. The Senator may have survived, but Cordé perished in the blast.
