Used in The Phantom Menace to defeat the Trade Federation, these Star Wars ships are the primary military weapon of the Naboo. If not for the wimpy yellow paint job, the N-1 Fighter would be a design worthy of fighting alongside the X-Wings of the Rebel Alliance.
The Sith Infiltrator perfect a compromise between the maneuverable style of a fighter and the bulkier, long range heft of a transport. If you do see one, you’ll see one of the best ship designs in any of the prequels. It rarely ever is, until Darth Maul lands one on Tatooine in pursuit of Anakin Skywalker and his midichlorians.
The Sith Infiltrator is a stealth ship, and thus designed not to be seen. Republic Attack Cruisers measure 1,137 meters in length while a Victory Class Star Destroyer measures only 900 meters long. Later versions of this ship would indeed be called Venator Class Star Destroyers and they were originally used in the Clone Wars depicted in Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones.īelieve it or not the Republic Attack Cruisers are actually even bigger than the Star Destroyers you know from A New Hope. The Republic Attack Cruiser is, obviously, the predecessor of the Imperial Star Destroyer you know from the original trilogy as the deadly tool of the Empire. That might not seem like a smart way to protect your ruler, but the ship was intended for peaceful diplomatic missions and the Queen’s protection was meant to come from an accompanying force of starfighters and the ship’s speed, which was great enough to outrun even most interceptors. What you might not know is that this Star Wars ship has absolutely no weapons. You saw it extensively in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. The J-Type 237 was the personal starship of the ruler of Naboo. If not for that weird, overly shiny exterior the Naboo insist on putting all over their ships, this is the one ship that might be good enough to compete with original trilogy designs in the awesome department. Designed like the futuristic, space-faring successor of a World War II bomber, the J-Type is nothing short of badass. This Star Wars ship has a name which suggests it might be well suited as some sort of garbage scow, but the J-Type’s exterior is an art deco masterpiece. They’re straight-forward transportation which, by the way, also looks pretty awesome. The Old Republic used them primarily to transport Jedi and diplomats missions. That’s an accurate depiction of this particular class of ship’s overall role in the Star Wars universe. A Consular Space Cruiser called the Radiant VII is the ship that brings Qui Gonn and Obi Wan to the Trade Federation. This Star Wars ship is actually the very first thing you see in The Phantom Menace.
