The '''Type-10 Defender''' is a [[Lakon Spaceways]] ship that is planned for [[Elite Dangerous: Horizons]] update 2.4. All that is currently known about it is that it can accommodate [[Multicrew]],<ref>[https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/843716738480807053/C532017E9DDC079D334B6CA41B3ECE48CFFD0175/ Steam User Images: Screenshot of the new Multicrew tab, with a list of Multicrew-capable ships, in the Comms menu as seen in the 2.4 beta]</ref> and it is not a renamed [[Panther Clipper]].<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/371162-Type-10-Defender-new-ship-(not-yet-purchasable)?p=5832400&viewfull=1#post5832400 Frontier Forums: Type-10 Defender, new ship (not yet purchasable)]</ref> As of 2.4's release, the Type-10 Defender remains unavailable in-game; it is believed that it will be released in the coming weeks, as part of the [[Aegis]] storyline involving the creation of new anti-[[Thargoid]] weapons.

The Type-10 appears to be a combat geared version of the [[Type-9 Heavy]] in a similar manner as the [[Keelback]] is to the [[Type-6 Transporter]]. One can assume this will result in vastly improved hardpoint and shielding capabilities whilst sacrificing some of the Type-9's massive cargo space.

{{Quote|An out-of-production spacecraft produced by [[Faulcon DeLacy]] and one of its earliest designs. The Krait once led the field in small scale fighter craft - faster, more agile, and more heavily armed than most of its rivals, the design sold in the millions. Now the Krait is largely obsolete. It remains a heavily armed fighter for its size, but its sluggish speed and sub-standard manoeuvrability make it vulnerable to escort fighters and modern police ships. Kraits are still found in the poorer and more anarchic parts of the galaxy - most are a hodgepodge of old and new technology cobbled together. In combat, the Krait is often paired off against larger ships, such as the Cobra and Asp, who match the tiny ship in manoeuvrability, but who remain vulnerable to the Krait's impressive weaponry.|Description from ''[[Elite Dangerous Role Playing Game|Elite Dangerous RPG]]''<ref name="EDRPG">[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/373091-Pssst-You-wanna-see-a-Krait Frontier Forums: Pssst. You wanna see a Krait?]</ref>}}

The '''Krait''', also known as the '''Krait Lightspeeder''',<ref name="EDRPG"/> is a fighter ship known for its distinctive shape. By the time of [[Elite Dangerous]], the Krait has not been in production for many years and is considered an antiquated design. [[Bill Turner]] kept a Krait among the collection of ships stored at his base on [[Alioth]] 4 A.<ref>[[Elite Dangerous: Premonition]]</ref> A new model of Krait is planned for release in the Q1 2018 update of [[Elite Dangerous: Beyond]].

The new Krait appears to retain the same basic design as it's predecessor but it's substantially larger, appearing to be slightly larger than the [[Cobra MkIII|Cobra MKIII]] and the [[Viper MkIII]]. The ship seems to be focused on combat with what appears to be two multi-crew seats mounted next to the cockpit, all of which are mounted under the ship. The ship's increased size has led to speculation that it will be capable of supporting a fighter bay as well.

==Trivia==
*The Krait first appeared in [[Elite]].
