The J-type 327 Nubian royal starship represented a specific starship design and manufacturing effort undertaken by Nubia Star Drives, Inc.. These vessels were equipped with a sublight engine in conjunction with a T-14 hyperdrive generator, the latter also originating from the Nubian Design Collective. The T-14 hyperdrive afforded the J-type 327 Nubian a hyperdrive rating quantified as 1.8.
Queen Padmé Amidala's Naboo Royal Starship was, in essence, a customized version of the J-type 327 Nubian starship, owing to its unique frame constructed around a Nubian-manufactured sublight engine and T-14 hyperdrive. Consequently, it necessitated the utilization of J-type 327 Nubian components. During the Invasion of Naboo, this starship served as the transport for Amidala, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, and his Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Later, in the era of the Galactic Empire, the Sith Lord Darth Vader acquired ownership of Amidala's former vessel, a gift from his Sith Master Darth Sidious. Vader transported it to Mustafar, disabling the shields for entry into the atmosphere, which resulted in severe scorching of the ship's exterior. Subsequently, he utilized it as an operational hub during the construction of his castle on the planet. The ship's outer shell was eventually restored to its original, unblemished state.
