Royal Naboo Republic

The Royal Security Corps

"Administrators and politicians craft policy, commanders dictate how policy is to be implemented, and soldiers are the tools of that implementation. On the battlefield, behind enemy lines, and across the Galaxy, the true heart and soul of any government can be found in the soldiers who serve beneath their banner."

The Royal Naboo Defense Force

“Being a soldier in this goddamn galaxy is one of the most dangerous jobs you can sign up for. You know damn well you're gonna get shot at and attacked, may not even live long enough to see the next sunrise—it comes with the territory. But the chance to defend our homes and make those bastards pay for the shit they've done? That's what makes all the risk worth it.”

​

From Out of The Ashes
The Royal Naboo Defense Force was formed in the aftermath of some of Naboo's most challenging years. From the Cataclysm that left Theed and the Gungan Kingdom in ruins, to the attack by The Unblessed that spread fear and sickness across the populace, Naboo's recent history has been marked by survival in the face of overwhelming adversity.

Once the realization hit that they could no longer rely solely on outside powers for protection, the RDF was commissioned to ensure that Naboo and the entirety of the RNR, would never again be left vulnerable.

The Royal Security Corps (RSC), which had long served as Naboo's primary line of defense, was thus reorganized into the Royal Naboo Defense Force (RNDF). However, it quickly became apparent that while the organization reflected Naboo's cultural values — a peaceful people who believed that diplomacy, art, and dialogue were more enduring defenses than warfare — it lacked the ability and structure to protect Naboo when faced with larger, militarized threats, and reforms were desperately needed if they hoped to survive.

Several swift reforms were implemented, including the expansion of military training programs and academies, the integration of advanced technologies, the establishment of specialized units, and a widespread recruitment campaign aimed at building a diverse and capable force.

Gradually, men and women from all corners of the galaxy and every walk of life answered the call. Former members of the Royal Security Forces, recruits from the Gungan Grand Army, veterans of the defunct Confederacy, and individuals from distant worlds seeking a brighter future for their families, all came together under a shared banner. Their unifying purpose: to ensure the security and prosperity of the Southern Systems and forge a safer tomorrow for all.

The Royal Naboo Navy

​

Legacy of Heroes
The Royal Naboo Navy is the primary space warfare branch of the Royal Naboo Republic Military. Sworn to the protection of Naboo and its people, the Navy serves as both the first line of defense for the citizens of the Republic, as well as the frontline of its war against the darkness and dangers of the galaxy.

The revitalization of the Navy stems from a core of formerly Confederacy of Independent Systems naval officers born on Naboo, and the senior officers of the Royal Space Fighter Corp. These officers pooled their collective knowledge and experience to fortify the borders of the Naboo system against the chaos and devastation of the war between the Galactic Alliance and Sith Order, as well as to ward off the threat of other opportunistic enemies.

From this foundation of security first mindset, the origins for the Navy can be traced. With the Sovereign of Naboo directing them, the security forces of Naboo reorganized their disparate ships into a new entity. Building on the goal of security at all costs, the Royal Naboo Navy has adopted a defensive mindset, with cadets of the Royal Naval Academy swearing oaths to defend every inch of Republic space, no matter the cost.

Organization
The Royal Naboo Navy is overseen by the Lord Admiral of the Navy, the highest rank a naval officer can achieve, and one only granted by commendation and selection by the ruler of Naboo. The Lord Admiral oversees the broad goals and direction the Royal Naboo Navy take, and is the head of the Admiral's Court, made up of every officer of Admiral's rank within the Navy.

The Navy is subdivided into three distinct divisions. The first division is the Expeditionary Fleet. This formation is made up of squadrons of vessels dedicated to pushing beyond the boundaries of Royal Naboo Republic space. The most headstrong and reckless officers are selected to serve in the Expeditionary Fleet, and act as the tip of the spear of any Naboo offensive.

The second division is the Home Fleet. The largest division, the Home Fleet is charged with the defense of Naboo and all her allied worlds. Task forces and squadrons constantly patrol the extent of Naboo space, and any threat is countered with full force. The most seasoned and veteran officers in the Navy often captain Home Fleet ships, and are seen as the most levelheaded officers.

The third division is the Royal Starfighter Corp. The Royal Starfighter Corp is made up of the various starfighter squadrons employed by the navy. The Corp is further subdivided into numerous elite squadrons, squadrons dedicated to specific tasks, and squadrons formed entirely of Shiraya Jedi pilots. The Royal Starfighter Corp assigns detachments of their units to the other fleets as needed and acts as an independent first strike and patrol force.

Best of the Best
The Royal Naboo Navy maintains multiple naval academies to funnel new officers into its ranks, with the most prestigious being the Royal Naval Academy of Theed. Instruction in these academies is rigorous, with countless live fire exercises and high stress environments to ensure that by the end of their education, each cadet is ready to face the worst the galaxy can throw at them.

As Naboo begins to expand its reach across multiple worlds, the need to expand its fleet necessitates the acceptance of outsiders into its ranks. Thorough interviews and testing are conducted on all applicants seeking to the join the Naboo Royal Navy from outside the homeworld, with those passing the extended process going on to prove themselves as some of the most able in the entire navy.
