The Naboo Royal N-1 Starfighter is a fictional spaceship in the Star Wars universe.
The N-1 Starfighter was developed by the Theed Palace Space Vessel Engineering Corps, for the Naboo Security Forces. This starfighter is sleek and agile, it faces enemy starfighters with twin blaster cannons and a double magazine of proton torpedoes. It was only found in Naboo and very rare even on its homeworld.
The Naboo N-1 Starfighter has a custom-built space frame which reflects the Naboo people's love of handcrafted, elegant shapes. It has one pilot and an astromech droid like an R2 unit to provide assistance to the pilot. The N-1 Starfighter is made of a long rear centre finial connected to a fighter revetment. Its engine systems are based on a standard Nubian drive motor that was modified significantly to release less emissions into the atmosphere.
The N-1 Starfighter design is similar to that of the Naboo Royal Starship. The N-1 Starfighter first appeared during the space battle period of the Battle of Naboo in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace where a squadron of the fighters attacked the orbiting Droid Control Ship. Later during the Battle of Naboo, Anakin Skywalker piloted a Naboo N-1 Starfighter into the Droid Control Ship's docking bay. N-1 Starfighters also make an appearance in the beginning of Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones escorting senator Padmé Amidala's Naboo Royal Cruiser upon its arrival to Coruscant.
This ship available to the player in the Nintendo 64 video game Star Wars: Battle for Naboo. The starfighter is also an unlockable vehicle in the Star Wars: Rogue Squadron series.
A life sized model of a Naboo Starfighter hangs suspended from the ceiling of the Blue Wing at the Boston Museum of Science, in Boston, Massachusetts. This 1:1 scale model was used as a prop during the filming of The Phantom Menace.
