Naboo Yacht

The Naboo Yacht was the personal craft and royal starship of Padme Amidala. It was a customised H-type Nubian yacht and was employed as a getaway vessel and was the smallest non-fighter craft in the Theed Hangars, though much faster than most civilian ships. It featured a powerful shield system, an array of electronic countermeasures, a slim, narrow profile and sheltered engines giving a small sensor signature for evading pursuits and an escape pod. It is unarmed in accordance with the peaceful culture of Naboo. The yacht only required a small crew and Padme could pilot the ship on her own from the cockpit in the central area of the yacht's upper section. Below the cockpit were maintenance consoles, the class 0.9 Nubian 150 hyperdrive core and stores to contain supplies and astromech droids. The lower and upper levels were connected by a turbolift platform, situated before the lounge and crew bunks on the upper level. At the front section of the upper level was Padme's bedroom which could serve as a portable throne room. The Naboo Yacht first appeared in the Attack of the Clones. It transported Padme, Anakin Skywalker and R2-D2 to Anakin's homeworld Tatooine where the young Jedi tried to rescue his mother. It also carried Padme Amidala, Anakin Skywalker, R2-D2 along with C-3PO to Geonosis in an attempt to rescue Obi Wan Kenobi. The craft was also seen in one occasion during the Clone Wars where Padme, Captain Typho, Yoda and the droids traveled to the Jedi world Ilum where they prevented a Confederacy conspiracy.
