N-X Police Cruiser

The Naboo N-X Police Cruiser, most commonly called Police Cruiser, is the atmospheric version of the Naboo N-1 Starfighter. It is 9 metres long and resembles the yellow N-1 aside from a third engine module, lack of an astromech droid and the blue paint scheme. Though both are remarkably similar in appearance and performance. The N-X was a recent addition to the Naboo Royal Security Force during the events of the Phantom Menace. The N-X was designed and manufactured by Theed Palace Space Vessel Engineering Corps which also developed the highly successful N-1. The RSF garrison in Theed received the first squadron of these fighters a year before the Battle of Naboo. Other Naboo city-states have since started to receive their own N-X squadrons.

The light alloy armoured hull on the N-X is similar to the N-1 and also gives the fighter its speed and maneuverability. This has made the N-X starfighter an excellent patrol craft and atmospheric missions. However, when forced to engage heavier or more numerous enemies, its weakness become apparent. In such situations, the pilot has no alternative but to activate the overthuster and withdraw to friendly supporting units. Its engines are a modified Nubian 111 and a Nubian Monarc C-2 which are environmentaly friendly to the ecologically sensitive Nabo. Its weapons are 2 light blaster cannons and 1 standard proton torpedo launcher.

During the occupation of Theed by the Trade Federation, a mixed force of N-X and N-1 fighters liberated a Trade Federation internment camp, this successful mix of vehicles brought the Trade Federation's droid forces into disarray days before the Trade Federation Droid Control Ship was destroyed in orbit over Naboo. During the Clone Wars, the N-X continued to serve the Naboo by combating both pirates and Separatist forces in the Naboo system.
