- Diatrium Capacitance Array
- Blockade Runner: Designed to bypass enemy blockades, the Lumiya is outfitted with powerful engines and finely tuned maneuvering thrusters to dance through the vacuum of space as it worms its way past enemy ships.
- Ion Weaponry: Heavier capital ship weaponry was discarded in exchange for specialized ion weaponry used primarily for disabling enemy ships, either to bypass them or get in close enough to disembark a boarding party.
- Light Weaponry: Besides its specialized ion weaponry, the Lumiya only has point-defense cannons and anti-missile octets to defend itself from attack.
- No Strikefighters: Hangar space was reduced to a small area reserved for cargo, a small contingent of Imperial Legionnaires, and even a cluttering of vehicles for first strike deployments during planetary battles.
During planetary assaults, the biggest obstacle to striking at the enemy's ground fortifications is the fleet in orbit protecting the planet. This can often lead to protracted engagements to dislodge the orbital defenses and then maneuver into position to launch a coordinated assault on the planet's surface.
By the time the blockading fleet has been neutralized, the enemy ground forces can have further entrenched themselves, raised a planetary shield, or evacuated during the fighting.
Based on the Pirahna Beetle from Yavin IV, the Lumiya-class Blockade Runner Frigate is the answer to that dilemma.
Outfitted with powerful engines and maneuvering thrusters, the Lumiya can exit hyperspace closer to the enemy blockade than the fleet trailing behind it. Ion weaponry and specialized ordnance can deliver crippling blows to enemy shields and internal systems, allowing the frigate to bypass defenses and make a beeline for the planet's surface.
In times of war, the Lumiya's internal hold would be filled with soldiers and size-appropriate vehicles for lightning fast insertions at key locations. During times of peace, it can be used to move insurgents onto enemy worlds for espionage and sabotage.
