• EMP/Ion - The Parabrite/Dunalmite alloy paired with the Kirishima Cap Drains makes this vessel highly resistant to the effects of either energy, allowing it to shrug off attempts to shut down systems inside the ship and even transferring the energy to shield power.
• Rates Above Average - Designed to work as a gunship once its transport bay is empty, the ship is a general purpose workhorse despites it size.
• Coming Through - Planetary shields and larger ship's projecting a shield barrier will find this ship a nuisance as they slip through with relative ease.

• Space Requirements - Given that is can transport a small platoon of soldiers on top of carrying a good spread of weapons, the ship itself takes up an enormous amount of landing space inside a hangar.
• Just a Fancy Blend - The addition of sensor resistant compounds does not combat higher grade scanning systems, and is reduced to allowing the vessel to remain shine free by absorbing light.
• Don't Mind Me - The drawback of using the ICE Field Disruptor is the requirement for the shielding system to be disabled prior to passing through a shield system. Leaving these ships vulnerable for a short time between as well as announcing their presence when they pass through the offending shield.

Building upon the growing collection of ships for the Royal Naboo Republic, Niki's next idea came from the need to transport both civilians and troops to the ground from wherever and whenever. Going with what most gunships of the past followed in design, a bulkier schematic was drawn up while trying to remain true to the aesthetic preferences of Naboo.

Using the Skuggalegt I-pattern Stealth Polymer as an aid rather than a dependable stealth system, the idea was to allow at least a small amount of troops to be deployed either independently, or from a dedicated carrier, and operate as needed with the gear required while being able to secure their landing zone. Utilizing the same tech in the RNR Bomber the ship is capable of delivering an energy bomblet with alarming accuracy. A large bay door opens to the rear between the two N-VOId systems, allowing for safe deployment while the second assault laser turret mounted in a retractable housing on the belly of the ship provides covering fire. Each wing mast before the s-foil mounting housing ion cannons in each while a housing for the bomblet generator resides in a housing halfway down the ships side.

A large cargo bay with modular interior for containers and other storage items dominates all of the rear interior space besides the allotted area for the reactor-hyperdrive systems. Content with the design, the schematics were uploaded to the PGEM system for production.
