Legend

this small transport ship was developed by the Theed Palace Space Vessel Engineering Corps of Naboo, during the height of the Clonw Wars. Like many of its predecessors, the Star Skiff was a J-type vessel that employed a great deal of technology of Nubian design. It was essentially a flying wing, with the main fuselage and twin engines mounted on the underside. Like other craft produced for Naboo royalty, the Star Skiff was plated with highly-polished chromium, although this vessel, like the Naboo Yacht, was designed for Padme' Amidala's use. The 29.2-meter-long vessel had a wingspan of just over forty-nine meters, and it was one of the first Naboo craft that was armed. As befitting the times, the Star Skiff was equipped with a pair of top-mounted laser cannons. To provide propulsion in atmosphere, the Naboo Star Skiff was equipped with Sossen-7 sublight drives.
