ELG-3A blaster pistol

The ELG-3A blaster pistol, also known as the Naboo royal pistol[1] or the royal blaster pistol,[8] was a model of diplomatic[4] hold-out blaster pistol manufactured by the SoroSuub Corporation,[2] and also attributed to Merr-Sonn Munitions, Inc.[1] The Queen of Naboo, Padmé Amidala, used an ELG-3A blaster pistol during the Battle of Naboo, as did several of her Handmaidens. The compact weapon was designed for easy concealment and came in both a short and extended barrel version.[2] Two of the blasters with the shortened barrels were kept in a secret compartment of the Queen's throne in the Theed Royal Palace, which came in useful as last resort weapons.

The ELG-3A was a lightweight, elegant, and functional hold-out blaster pistol designed for practical use and easy concealment.[1] It was a small, sleek weapon with a polished chrome finish and a wooden grip,[5] and fired green[5] or blue bolts, as well as a stun setting.[9] The slim blaster was fired using a snap trigger, which required a firm squeeze to prevent misfires.[1] Despite being a small blaster, it still packed a punch,[10] and it was able to destroy an IG-86 sentinel droid with a shot to the chest[11] or a BX-series droid commando with a headshot, despite the droid's titanium-reinforced steel heavy armor.
