Well I've always used H.I.M.S. because it is more proper. While I.N.S. makes sense I would expect them to use something more like G.E.S. (Galactic Empire Ship) considering the most prominent example of a ship prefix for our American authors is U.S.S. (United States Ship)

Is it pre-Endor, or post?
There are no references to a date for that incident. However, there is a statement on the timeline scope of the game on page 68, in the section dealing with finding a Jedi Master-In theory, a player character could search out one of the remaining Jedi and ask to study with him. In practice, this is impossible, or virtually so. Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game is played during the period of the Rebellion -- neither before nor after.
So, it would appear to me that the incident occurred pre-Endor.

But it's not a problem that she's elected?
There are, and have been, many elected monarchs on Earth.
Pre-William the Conqueror, English Kings were elected.

The United States is a Republic. The Galactic Empire is not.

There's also the far more major example of the Holy Roman Empire.
The only weird thing about the Queen of Naboo is that she isn't elected for life. Or does Amidala abdicate rather than reach the end of a fixed term?

There are plenty of elected monarchs where the monarchs aren't elected for life.
The King of Malaysia, for instance, is elected to a five year term.

The United States is a Republic. The Galactic Empire is not.
That wasn't my point.

No, but it was mine. Ships in monarchies are named different to those of Republics. This has to do with the different nature of government.
