About the Design

A flying wing with the polished chrome finish distinctive of Naboo starship design, the Royal Cruiser is a diplomatic transport uses to ferry high-ranking government personnel between star systems.  Although normally unarmed, the Royal Cruiser can carry up to four N-1 Starfighters in the re-charge sockets on its wing's leading edge.

In "Attack of the Clones,"  the Royal Cruiser made a majestic entrance as it dropped from space into the atmosphere of Coruscant, only to blow up on its landing pad as a result of Separatist sabotage.

About the Kit
