Security Guard/Legends



The Security Guard was a division of the Royal Naboo Security Forces stationed on the planet Naboo. This corps was largely analogous to planetary milita and police forces on other worlds.

The Security Guard corps was comprised of somewhere between five and six thousand men and women as of 32 BBY, though this number was commonly raised during times of tension in the Royal Court. Many Security Guards were natives of Naboo who had performed off-world military service, though it was known for nobles or businessbeings to recieve martial training within the Security Guard before joining its ranks. Training was roughly similar to the galactic standard for a local police force.

Security Guards commonly served as sentries and patrolmen in Theed, and the group was adept at handling riots and other civic disturbances, though military analysts did not believe the corps could defend Naboo against a military ground assault&mdash;such as that performed by the Trade Federation during the Invasion of Naboo. Security Guards commonly served fifteen standard hours a week on average, and most tended to remain with the unit for two years. They were outfitted with a yellow-and-brown armored uniform, and carried CR-2 blaster pistols, though in times of peril, the guards were equipped with blaster rifles.

Following the assassination of King Veruna, the Security Guard quelled uprisings by elements of the Ralthar Syndicate. Prior to and during the Trade Federation invasion, the Security Guard was led by Captain Panaka. Though unable to withstand the invasion of Naboo, the Security Guard assisted underground resistance movements, and fought in the Second Battle of Theed.
