DESCRIPTION​

The N-1 starfighter, commonly known as the Naboo starfighter, is a by now antique design of combat spacecraft once operated by the Royal Naboo Starfighter Corps. Considered one of the most striking and graceful ships of its day, the N-1 was nevertheless a powerful, effective design, although it was quickly rendered obsolete by the rapid advance of starfighter technology during the Clone Wars.

The N-1, designed and built by the Theed Palace Engineering Corps, is a startlingly compact design even today, just 11 meters in length and accommodating a pilot and an astromech droid, being one of the earliest military vessels to be designed in part around the then-new R-series astromech droid. Unlike many starfighters of its time, it incorporated shields and a class 1 hyperdrive, as well as a 6-shot proton torpedo launcher, although it was only equipped with a pair of medium blaster cannons otherwise.

Despite spending the majority of its service life flying in aerobatic displays during festivals and gathering dust in hangars, the N-1 did have a number of chances to prove itself, including during the Naboo-Trade Federation war, when a small squadron of N-1s was able to utterly destroy a droid control ship in orbit above the planet. It also defended Naboo in various skirmishes against he Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. In both instances, the N-1 demonstrated its effectiveness in combat.

By the time of the Galactic Empire, the N-1 had been largely retired by the RNSC, replaced by newer designs in front-line service, although it lingered in various second-line duties into the New Republic era. During the Galactic Civil War, a scant handful were covertly provided to the Rebel Alliance early on, although most of these were replaced by T-65B X-Wings once they became available. Besides this, the type was never officially offered for export.

In the present day, the N-1 has been completely retired from active service, with nearly all examples having been mothballed or put on display in museums. A handful of N-1s exist in private collections as well, and are highly prized by starship connoisseurs.
