In the LONE LIGHT module for LIGHT, Strikes have been updated for 1-3 players to run without a GM. 

LONE LIGHT is a free system for everyone!

A NEW WAY TO PLAY

Players use the new Strike type, Exploration, and provided tables to generate encounters and awards as they play. This module provides everything needed to explore the solar system and defend the Light at your team’s pace when a GM is not available. 

BALANCED FOR SMALL GROUPS OR SOLO

Fights in LONE LIGHT has been modified for enemies to make their actions fast and simple. Groups of weaker enemies, now designated Swarms, are grouped together under their type and share a Health pool equal to their remaining number and a single turn. Stronger enemies have been divided into Champion and Leader ranks to account for difficulty and rewards. Both Champion and Leader enemies still act independently for their turn. 

To track all of this a Order number has been given for each enemy type. Enemies act from 1 through 4 on their turns. Players still always act first. Enemies engage in fights using the provided AI tables, which require a player to roll and resolve the resulting actions. These replace the GM choice for each enemy type and keep the enemy feeling alive and moving. Enemies choose targets by rolling a d6 divided equally between the number of players (i.e. 1 player (1-6), 2 players (1-3, 4-6), 3 players (1-2, 3-4, 5-6)).

Idk if you still check on itchio but i have to ask a couple of questions:

- Would this be compatible with LUMEN RPGs similar to LIGHT like Nova and Aegis for example?

- In a solo strike is this meant for 1 character or can the player have multiple characters?

I'm here almost daily!

1 - I believe you could use it for any variation of a LUMEN RPG if you switched over the encounters. I use the specific ones for LIGHT. Feel free to edit the document as you see fit. I'll even publish an editable format today for you and update the license to be CC BY 4.

2 - A solo strike is 1 person by default. To play with more players in a strike, multiply the number of enemies by the number of players. This provides enough things for everyone to destroy during the strike.

Let me know if you have any additional questions.
