The Alliance commissioned Lakon Spaceways to produce the versatile Type-10 Defender, which represents a comprehensive revision of the Type-9 Heavy. Boasting greater speed, acceleration and manoeuvrability than the Type-9 and a more focused hardpoint loadout, it was envisaged principally as a combat vessel, but its sizeable cargo hold makes it equally useful to traders.
The Type-10 Defender has been designed for large-size landing pads.
