Padme Amidala is entering the battles of X-Wing 2.0, but she needs protection. Bring along her loyal bodyguards to make sure that she stays safe!
The Queen of Naboo is flying into X-wing 2,0 to engage in aggressive negotiations. At initiative 4, Padme has a unique ability to halt enemy die modification. While an enemy ship in Padme’s forward arc defends or attacks, it can only modify 1 focus result. This can be deadly to an enemy ship, especially if Padme has Plasma Torpedoes!
Plasma Torpedoes is a great munition to have as an opening salvo. Firing off at range 2-3 with 3 attack dice, this target lock enabled torpedo can strip off 1 shield after damage is dealt. Even heavily shielded ships will feel the pain of this torpedo. Padme forces her target to only modify 1 focus result, so this attack will more than likely hit easily. 
Padme will be a high priority target for your opponents, so take along a Naboo Handmaiden to protect the Queen. As a 1 initiative ship, the Handmaiden will take the hits for Padme as a Decoy. During setup, you assign the Decoyed condition to 1 friendly ship. This will add extra defenses to Padme. 
The Decoyed condition card is a great way of adding extra evades to defense dice. While you defend, each friendly Naboo Handmaiden in the attack arc may spend 1 evade token to change 1 of your results to an evade. Additionally, if you are a Naboo Royal N-1 Starfighter each friendly Naboo Handmaiden in the attack arc may spend 1 evade token to add 1 evade result. Not a bad way to keep the Queen safe.
