The royal air cruiser from Naboo was a specific type of air cruiser utilized by the Royal Naboo Security Forces.
The framework of the airspeeder was primarily used for its engines, and the turbolaser cannon's power source was situated directly over the cannon. Royal air cruisers possessed the ability to obliterate enemy ground structures or destroy artillery that moved slowly, however, they were not effective when defending against ground soldiers, airspeeders, or ground speeders.
The Theed Palace Space Vessel Engineering Corps faced a difficult engineering problem with the design, as the objective was to equip a tactical airspeeder of medium size with a turbolaser cannon that had the destructive power usually found on a large capital ship. The solution involved suspending the cannon beneath a flying wing-shaped vehicle, similar to a cloud car.
Paula Killen provided the voice for the Royal air cruiser pilot in the video game Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds: Clone Campaigns.
