These are dedicated siege platforms specifically designed to disable planetary shields.  They fire a concentrated salvo of 500 proton torpedoes to punch a hole through the shields, followed by a quick volley from its turbolasers to destroy the shield generators before they can be brought back up.  Only six of these vessels are in service by the time of the Battle of Yavin, although many more were built afterward as the Rebellion spread.
