The Naboo Spacelines StarSpeeder 1000 was a modified StarSpeeder 1000 spacecraft used by interstellar travel agency Star Tours to operate flights bound for the Mid Rim[4] planet Naboo[2] prior to 0 BBY.[3] This starship was painted yellow and light grey with a red circle containing a white Aurebesh letter Nern.[1] It was named after both the planet as well as Naboo Spacelines, a separate spaceliner company from Star Tours, which was a fellow member with Star Tours in the Galactic Tourist Bureau.
It was equipped with hyperdrive and shielding systems, two flash cannons and two laser cannons; it was crewed by a pilot, an astromech droid and a systems analyst.[2] It could support up to 40 passengers.[3]
Behind the scenes
The Naboo Spacelines StarSpeeder 1000 was first introduced on The Walt Disney Company website in 2011 as a papercraft model.[1] The speeder was also released in the same year in a set of diecast toys, the StarSpeeder 1000 Spaceliner Collection.[2]
According to a Star Tours: The Adventures Continue poster sign, only Star Tours flew StarSpeeder 1000s, which confirms Star Tours ownership of this vessel.[5] The Japanese version, however, indicated that it was part of a separate company which was affiliated with Star Tours via the Galactic Tourist Bureau.
