This bulbous half-swoop, half-podracer derives its name from Luminous Sun of the CAD DireX Board. Muk Moadda claims it's because the speeder equals her in curvaceous pulchritude. In reality it's because he spent so long building the dang thing that he compared it to being one of her slaves. Either way, Muk is not a politically correct Mon Cal. Nevertheless, the speeder still goes by Luminous. It's half getaway car, half wrecking ball, and on a test run it knocked an armored corporate security speeder entirely out of the sky.
