The Naboo Royal Starship is the personal vessel of the monarch of Naboo. The ship first appeared in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace as Jedi knights Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi were rescuing Queen Amidala and her entourage from the invading forces of the Trade Federation.
Ric Olié was able to pilot the ship past the Federation's Lucrehulk-class battleships in orbit around Naboo, blockading the planet. They did not escape without injury though. The ship's hyperdrive was damaged and was only able to limp to Tatooine, where -- after winning a bet or two -- a replacement hyperdrive was obtained.
The Sith Lord, Darth Maul tracked the ship to Tatooine and engaged Qui-Gon in lightsabre combat as the ship was taking off. Qui-Gon was able to leap onto the ship's still-open boarding ramp and escape.
The ship took them to Coruscant and, when politics fails, back to Naboo to confront the forces of the Trade Federation directly.
