The Naboo NB-1S Royal Bomber, or Naboo bomber, was a prototype vehicle rarely used by the Royal Naboo Security Forces. It combined deadly Nubian technology with Naboo spaceframe design. It was the successor of the NB-1 Royal Bomber.
Like the N-1 starfighter, its armor was a yellow light alloy armored hull and its overall design was the same as the standard N-1 fighter. The NB-1S also featured a droid socket for an astromech droid.
The Naboo bomber was a test bed for emerging Naboo technologies in the Long-Range Strategic bombing theatre. Using the standard N-1 fighter as a starting point, Naboo engineers designed a dedicated craft to deliver explosive payloads through bombardment. For its increased power requirements, the bomber boasted a second pair of engines: a modified Nubian 321 and a Nubian Monarc C-6 Hyperdrive. These engines were environmentally friendly, since the Naboo were dedicated to defending their ecologically sensitive planet.
The standard proton torpedo launching system was removed and replaced by a newly designed Nubian proton bomb rack/launcher system. This system integrated directly into the existing torpedo rack housing with little modification.
An updated version of the NB-1S Bomber was the NB-1T Royal Bomber.
