Futhork was the most recent of the two writing systems used by the human inhabitants of Naboo, the other being Futhark. It was used by the common populace in informal contexts.[3] Futhork abundantly appeared on starship computer monitors and status displays (as exemplified by Queen Amidala's Royal Starship and the N-1 starfighters), and on the helmets of engineers working for the Royal Naboo Security Forces.[4]

Futhork also appeared on a commemorative plaque presented to a mortician on Naboo. It read:[5]

PRESENTED TO
COMMODEX
TAHN

FOR SERVICES
TO NABOO

BY
PADMÉ
AMIDALA.

In 5 BBY, hand painted signs written in this script were displayed outside a store selling screens on Ferrix, with a pink sign saying "MADE TO [obscured]" and a blue one saying "WHILE YOU WAIT".[2]

During the New Republic Era, the console on Din Djarin's N-1 starfighter used Futhork: A blue circular monitor on the console,[6] which functioned as a hyperspace map,[7] said "SYSTEM READY", "M", "FLIGHT,"[6] "PT", "STB" and "ON."[8] The greenish-blue navigation monitor in the middle, showed indicators for "P" (the port side), "D" (directly ahead) and "S" (the starboard side).[6] The blue enemy proximity warning indicator on the right side of the console said "SYSTEMS ONLINE • TURBO BOOST ENACTED[7] • LIFE SUPPORT ACTIVE."[8] However, when Din Djarin left Nevarro, the entire image (which started flashing red when Gorian Shard's gang showed up) was mirror-inverted.[7]

During the war between the First Order and the Resistance, the population of the only outpost on Ashas Ree also used Futhork.[1]
