The Red Star class is designed to meet minimal Type A standards. Many cost saving measures are included in the design, such as the use of a minimum size fuel purification plant, an enhanced Model 0 computer, and provision for carrying only 18 days worth of full power operating fuel for the power plant, which allows additional cargo to carried. No turrets are mounted on the ship as built, but space has been reserved for later installation. Additional controls would be required if weapons were installed.

Most examples of the Red Star class were built in the Imperial core, and survivors during the Rebellion Era are likely to have been extensively modified.
