A veteran of the Naboo Space Fighter Corps, Ric Olié is the leader of Bravo Flight and has the honor of flying Queen Amidala's Royal Starship to and from Naboo. Answerable directly to Captain Panaka, Olié is capable of flying any craft on Naboo.
During the Battle of Naboo, Olié's squadron of N-1 starfighters were successful in destroying the Trade Federation's Droid Control Ship with the help of Anakin Skywalker.
The fighter pilot uniform was originally designed in costume sketches by Iain McCaig. The key challenge was in designing military uniforms for a utopian society that still looked imposing. Finally, McCaig was inspired by the look of World War I combat fliers.
