Futhark represented an old system of writing employed by the Naboo, who were human residents of the planet also called Naboo. At the time of the Naboo Invasion, it remained in use by the royal family, the aristocracy, the governing bodies, and the armed forces for marking starships. Nevertheless, the everyday people favored the newer futhork writing system for casual, daily correspondence.
Characters from the Futhork script were emblazoned on the N-1 starfighter flown by Anakin Skywalker during the Battle of Naboo. Many years later, the Futhork inscription visible on the flank of Din Djarin's N-1 starfighter read "Bheylic ZF".
The terms "futhark" and "futhork" both function as different names for the runic alphabet.
