Elite royal crusaders, who served as members of the Royal Naboo Security Forces, represented enhanced versions of the Royal crusader from Naboo. These soldiers received their equipment at Security Force Fortresses. In 32 BBY, during the Trade Federation's occupation of Naboo, a trio of these elite crusaders were captured and detained at Camp 14, which was located near the city of Spinnaker.
The Gungan Grand Army launched a raid on the camp, and as the raid unfolded, the three crusaders, along with the other inmates, started an uprising and successfully fled.
The elite royal crusaders are featured in the video game Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds, which was released in 2001. The game's campaign was also part of the 2002 expansion, Clone Campaigns. During the Gungan campaign, players can encounter them and have the choice to free them from imprisonment, although it is not the main goal of the mission.
