[SIZE=9pt]DESCRIPTION[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Comprising R&D and manufacturing facilities in the Naboo system, Royal Naboo Shipwrights (formerly Theed Hangar) focuses on small production runs of elite, lovingly crafted starships. Aesthetically, it bases its modern designs on the vessels that Theed Hangar designed before the Dark Ages. Though it generally used many Nubian components in ancient times, the search for quality has led the modern firm to source its components from a variety of manufacturers. Art deco lines, gold and chrome, and handcrafted quality characterize many RNS products. RNS does much of its business in custom designs and short production runs for elite buyers.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]However, RNS also turns out high volumes of Naboo starfighters, as well as powerful capital ships with Naboo aesthetics. The RNS orbital shipyards do a good deal of business in repair and refit for Galactic Alliance naval forces. RNS patrol vessels work in conjunction with the Royal Naboo Security Force and the GA navy to protect the Naboo system comprehensively.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]RATIONALE[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Naboo and the city of Theed have seen their share of turmoil in recent years. During the period when the Techno Union controlled the Naboo system, its leaders sought for stable and profitable leadership. The Mandalorian Clan Rekali reached out to Techno Union Foreman Draco Vereen with an offer to helm Theed Palace Space Vessel Engineering Corps. Alec Rekali, the Clan Father's granddaughter, was asked to take the reins of the small shipwright as part of her ongoing education, in preparation for the day when she might fill the same function for the Clan as a whole. She paid for a controlling interest in Theed Palace out of her own pocket, using the proceeds of a notorious heist on Nar Shaddaa some years ago. Her goal was to preserve and uphold copyrights entrenched in Naboo law, and to improve the venerable shipwright's profile on the galactic scene.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]After a period of substantial growth, however, Clan Rekali's other interests came to the fore. Using Theed Hangar's Coreward expansion as a pretext, Clan Rekali stole a major Republic shipyard. In the ensuing public relations backlash, the executives of Theed Hangar banded together to secure new investment and stage a hostile takeover of their own company. They bought out Alec Rekali's share entirely.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Further growth saw Theed Hangar swell far beyond its original mandate. Around the time when King Marcello Matteo’s term ended and Queen Jamie Pyne took the throne of Naboo, Theed Hangar and the Theed Palace Space Vessel Engineering Corps were spun off to their original function and scale. The bulk of the Theed Hangar juggernaut became Royal Naboo Shipwrights.[/SIZE]
