The N-1 starfighter, also known as the Naboo N-1 starfighter, is a sleek and agile single-pilot craft used predominantly by the Royal Naboo Security Forces. First seen in "Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace," it is characterized by its distinctive yellow and chrome finish, elongated fuselage, and twin engines mounted on either side. The design reflects the aesthetic values and advanced technological capabilities of the peaceful planet Naboo. The N-1 is equipped with dual laser cannons and proton torpedo launchers, providing it with formidable offensive capabilities despite its elegant appearance.
Primarily used for planetary defense and patrol missions, the N-1 played a significant role during the Battle of Naboo when young Anakin Skywalker piloted one to destroy the Trade Federation's Droid Control Ship. Its hyperdrive capability allows for limited Interstellar travel, although it is generally deployed alongside larger capital ships. The starfighter's advanced avionics and robust shielding systems ensure durability and survivability in combat scenarios. Over the years, the N-1 has become an iconic symbol of Naboo's cultural identity and technological ingenuity within the Star Wars universe.
