Lore
The J-type 327 Nubian starship is Naboo's royal flagship — a 76-meter chromium-plated diplomatic yacht co-designed by the Theed Palace Space Vessel Engineering Corps and the Nubian Design Collective. Built as a statement of Naboo's peaceful ideology, the J-type ships unarmed from the factory: no cannons, no missile bays, not even point defense. Its survival under fire depends entirely on shields, speed, and the skill of its pilots — the Royal Spacefighter Corps trained on this hull for exactly that reason.
The most famous J-type 327 in canon is the Royal Starship of Queen Padmé Amidala. The ship carried the Queen out of Naboo during the Trade Federation blockade, ran a Federation battleship gauntlet to reach Tatooine, and later returned the liberation fleet to Theed. Its mirror-bright hull is a deliberate diplomatic choice — the ship is unmistakably Naboo, unmistakably non-military, and unmistakably impossible to miss in a sensor scan. Customs and patrol craft across the galaxy recognize the silhouette and (usually) wave it through.
In play, the J-type is the diplomatic / luxury / very-fast-escape chassis. Eight passengers in luxury accommodations, Very Fast speed band, Class 1.8 hyperdrive, exceptional shields, and long-range sensors. A single turret hardpoint is available for aftermarket install if the campaign requires defensive armament — but adding guns to a Royal Starship breaks the silhouette recognition that often gets it waved past Imperial checkpoints.
