    Ironically for a non-aggressive planet and security force, Naboo really shined in space combat and their starfighters. I would argue that the X-wing is the only fighter we see that really competes, and it still has a bigger silhouette than the N-1. Even with all its functionality, the N-1 was still the most gorgeous fighter in Star Wars.

    • @Meravokas
      @Meravokas 4 роки тому +4

      I wouldn't go so far as to say the X-wing is the only that competes. With the N-1. The N-1 is without a doubt an amazing and extreme agile fighter (able to keep pace and actively combat vulture droids in the hands a half volunteer force) While some specific models had or the basic N-1 could be outfitted with a hyperdrive, the fuel the fighters could carry for a jump, make a combat sortie and jump back is about a system or two. It's not as short range of a fighter as the TIE, but most aren't outfitted with hyperdrives in the first place. If an escort is needed for senatorial or royal use, a 'royal barge' is used which allows the fighters to either make the first jump with the ship or just dock in the recharge/refuel sockets in the wings and be carried into hyperspace.

      I would argue the B-Wing put all other starfighters ever to shame, it might as well have been the force in ship form. The B-Wing had more blaster power than an X-Wing, and combined with the ion canons was strong enough to destroy even Star Desroyers without the need for torpedoes. It was insanely fast, but more impressive all it's shield could be supplemented by all this... So even if a Tie could outmaneuver it the B-Wing could take it head on instead of chasing it... And it costs about the same as the N1. My favorite fighter by far. :)

  • @casbot71
    @casbot71 4 роки тому +253

    What the Naboo should have done is formed a *combined military with the Gungans…* it would have been far more effective and they could have enlarged it and made it more professional _without the risk of making their former foes nervous._
    It would in fact cement ties between both societies, making the risk of the military being turned on either one very difficult.
    As well such a force would be reasonably powerful, with complementary abilities.
    The Gungans shield technology was amazing, especially in ground combat - it just lacked in offensive capabilities relying as it did on mediaeval style launchers for their plasma balls.
    Equip a combined force with Gungans holding shields while Naboos fire away with blasters and both using projectile launchers for the plasma balls (imagine a repeating grenade launcher…) and that's a nasty ground force.
    And the plasma balls make great warheads for ground vehicles.
    As well, their space force can do the heavy bombing of enemy forces… because…
    The irony is the N1 was a superb Snubfighter for the pre Clone Wars era. It was *versatile* having Lasercannons, proton torpedo launchers (with unguided torpedoes, but that can be swapped out easily), shields, high speed (slightly faster than a Yarvin era X-Wing and with the same class 1 hyperdrive) and a astromech.
    It was almost a proto X-Wing in capabilities in an time where most snubfighters were sublight only and shields and launchers were options. [It would have made a excellent Jedi craft for missions, being able to support itself without external units].
    And with its hyperdrive it could carry the fight to the enemy (even having off world bases for suprise counterattacks - but see below 🌊).
    If they had gone for economy of scale and mass produced it, as well as having them placed in fortified bunkers, Naboo would have been a tough nut to crack.
    They could have hangers underwater near Gungan facilities… suddenly squadrons just fly out of the ocean and catch off guard any attacker.
    And they did export the N1 to some customers (but only as a Boutique craft)… a bit of aggressive marketing to buyers in the Outer Rim and then they can start pumping out large inventory for themselves.
    Naboo could have taken a leaf out of the Scandinavian military school and had hidden bases all over, compulsory service for a while, and a core of professional solders.
    They do have a slightly Scandinavian feel to their society, they could have incorporated such a military attitude without changing their culture to much.

      @Engine33Truck 3 роки тому +6

      Agreed. With the N-1, I’d even go as far as to say it was, while old, still an above average (if not markedly superior) starfighter in the Civil War era. It was faster and more maneuverable than an X-Wing, so in the hands of a skilled pilot could easily outmaneuver and outfight a standard TIE fighter. Their speed and maneuverability would’ve been more or less on par with a TIE Interceptor - and perhaps the TIE Avenger - only truly outclassed by the TIE Defender and TIE Advanced x1. Their biggest downfall was their lack of numbers, there were too few to take on the amount of fighters that a true Imperial assault would bring and their pilots weren’t skilled enough to use the individual advantages their fighters had to their best potential. Legends sources has them being only slightly slower than an A-Wing, and slightly less maneuverable. Had Naboo not been so heavily occupied, the N-1 could’ve provided the Rebellion with an excellent multi-purpose interceptor that was easier to fly than an A-Wing.

      From what I understand, the scope stills resides in the railguns for the eventuality of one don't having a helmet.
      Complete helmets in Star Wars, such as the Clone or Stormtroopers, have digital visors inside their helmets connected to their weapons. Like when you fight in Battlefront II (old), your HUD displays a reticle when aiming in third person, trying to represent the visor inside of the helmet, and when aiming in first person, instead of just showing the railgun or body of the weapon with the sight, you are placed into a digital-blue visor reticle.

    I think you made a really good point about questioning why the Naboo did not upgrade their military post trade federation occupation but I think the reason why the Naboo did not maintain a strong army was its significance compared to the rest of the Galaxy. Naboo had a much smaller population compared to other planets in the galaxy and was not a political or economic stronghold like some planets in the core or colonies region. There were no main hyperspace lanes and trade routes that passed the Naboo for them to protect unlike Corellia that maintained their own army to protect the large hyperspace and trade routes they controlled . The Naboo was not interested in expansion or increasing their influence over the Galaxy and was content with their place in the Galaxy hence there were no reasons for them to increase their military power. Naboo can be compared to some of the countries we see in our World today. Their military and economic situation reminds me of some of the Baltic states in Europe that are experiencing economic growth but have relatively low populations and do not have the military resources to defend themselves from larger threats and heavily rely on their NATO allies for military support. This is what the Naboo did, they were prosperous and relied to much on their membership in a collective power to protect them. Also even with their discovery of Plasma they never expected the Trade Federation to invade since they thought they were under the protection of Republic law. The Trade Federation was actually considering to blockade another planet but with the influence of Sidious Naboo was chosen instead.

    They even had claws they refused to use…
    And a special caste that could sense new Hyperspace routes. The Wookies could have easily settled hidden planets, and even moved up the ladder in interstellar companies just by seniority.
    Wookies could have dominated freight, with hidden paths and being built in forklifts.
    Yet they lived next to several slave trading species that targeted them (because they were so useful) and yet didn't fortify.
    To give you an idea of how formidable Wookies could be, imagine if they were the template for the Clone army - with a different smaller species for Snubfighter pilots of course…
    [Could Ewoks be good pilots if raised in a technological society? If not there are other candidates].

I mean just like the neutral countries during ww2, unless if you back up your neutrality with the threat of a military force and a promise of a very long a painful military campaign for the attackers, other countries will just steamroll you without a care.

    I never thought that they were supposed ro be anything other than a police and anti piracy force. Its like saying that the police is useless because they couldn't stave off an invasion by themselves. And during the clone wars they let the grand army of the republic do its job. If they didn't have the clones its fair to say they would have beefed up. Also remember that in the original battlefront 2 they said they were making their force stronger and stronger.
