J type Noobian I think.
It was the Queen's personal spacecraft. Estes made a flying model of it back when the movie was out, about 1:144 or so. Within six months, the hobby shop couldn't ~give~ them away!
Modified J-Type 327 Nubian Starship
From answers.com:
Naboo Royal Cruiser The Naboo Royal Cruiser is a capital ship which transported Padmé Amidala to Coruscant during the creation of the Military Creation Act. It was designed and constructed by Theed Palace Space Vessel Engineering Corps, and succeeded the Naboo Royal Starship as the primary transport for Naboo's monarch. Like the Naboo Royal Starship, it has no weapons since it is a peaceful ambassadorial ship. The Royal Starship is built around 2 Nubian S-6 hyperdrive generators and 4 J-type sublight engines. It carries 5 crew and 5 astro-utility droids for maintaining the ship, and can carry 10 passengers.
The design for Naboo Royal Starship was inspired by the B-2 Spirit.
J
passengers.
Different ship. You are talking about the Royal Cruiser seen at the beginning of Epp. 2 (before it was blown up). The OP was talking about the Royal Starship seen in Epp. 1 that looked like a SR-71.
