J-type diplomatic barge

The J-type diplomatic barge, also called the Naboo Royal Cruiser or simply the Naboo cruiser, was a diplomatic transport used by representatives of the planet Naboo. Senator Padmé Amidala utilized a custom-built cruiser during the Separatist Crisis, which was damaged on Coruscant in an attempt on her life. She later used the J-type during the Clone Wars, when she was targeted by the bounty hunter Aurra Sing.

A custom-built transport constructed by the Theed Palace Space Vessel Engineering Corps, the J-type diplomatic barge was intended to address the shortcomings of the previous J-type 327 Nubian starship, featuring improved shield generators and paired S-6 hyperdrive generators to complement the superluminal drive. The chrome-plated hull featured two broad wings each fitted with two engines and recharge sockets for starfighters situated along the wings' leading edges, allowing it to carry up to four N-1 starfighters. The J-type was unarmed.
