Every Star Wars tabletop commander knows the frustration: your squadron lacks that perfect blend of diplomatic elegance and blistering speed. Many settle for either sluggish heavy fighters or fragile interceptors – compromising either tactical flexibility or thematic authenticity. The Naboo Royal N-1 Starfighter expansion for X-Wing 2.0 shatters this false dichotomy, bringing Queen Amidala’s iconic chrome-plated guardian to your dogfights with unprecedented mechanical depth.
Engineering the Galaxy’s Finest
Physical Structure
The 1/270 scale miniature replicates the N-1’s distinctive elongated fuselage with precision-cast details: from the forward-mounted laser cannons to the signature chrome finish that reflects light like the original studio models. The expansion includes:
- Pre-painted PVC miniature with detachable pegs
- Customized base with firing arc indicators
- 21 tokens for tracking shields, conditions and special abilities
Gameplay Mechanism
Seven unique upgrade cards leverage the N-1’s lore-accurate capabilities:
- Afterburners: Spend your focus to execute white boost actions
- Predictive Shot: Reveal dial to gain target lock before movement
- Daredevil: Perform tight turns at the cost of stress tokens
How the N-1 Outmaneuvers the Competition
| Feature | Naboo N-1 | TIE Interceptor | A-Wing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base Speed | 5 (with boost) | 4 | 4 |
| Upgrade Slots | 3 (Mod, Talent, Torp) | 2 (Mod, Talent) | 2 (Mod, Talent) |
| Scenario Flexibility | Escort/Dogfight Hybrid | Pure Dogfighter | Interceptor |
From the Hangar Bay
“The Afterburners upgrade completely changed how I approach asteroid fields. Now I can boost through gaps that would trap other ships, just like in The Phantom Menace’s escape sequence.”
– Derek T., Tournament Player
“As a collector, the chrome finish exceeds expectations. It catches the light differently than standard painted minis, making it the centerpiece of my Republic fleet display.”
– Maria L., Star Wars Memorabilia Collector
From Hangar to Heroics
Initial State: Your Republic squadron feels incomplete – technically capable but lacking narrative flair. The prequels-era ships in your collection gather dust as you default to original trilogy favorites.
Trigger: A tournament announces a “Clone Wars Era” bonus round. Your usual T-65 X-wings won’t qualify, and the Delta-7s in your hangar feel too specialized.
Struggle: Modified Z-95s pretend to be era-appropriate but break immersion. Custom paint jobs on TIE fighters feel sacrilegious to purist opponents.
Solution: The Naboo N-1’s perfect blend of canon authenticity (appearing in both Episode I and The Mandalorian) and competitive upgrades like “Predictive Shot” bridges the gap.
Outcome: Your squadron now tells a story – chrome fins gleaming as they flank your Jedi’s Delta-7, their speed mechanics creating cinematic moments where they streak past droid fighters.
