{{Quote|Based on the Type-6 Transporter, the Keelback is a hardy freighter designed for hostile-environment deliveries. The small hardpoints of the Type-6 have been bolstered with two medium hardpoints, but it is the Keelback’s ability to accommodate a fighter bay that really sets it apart. The ship also boasts superior armour and shields to the Type-6, making it a good option for traders who plan to travel without an escort.|In-game description}}

The Keelback is a [[Ships|ship]] manufactured by [[Lakon Spaceways]]. Designed as a combat-oriented variant of the [[Type-6 Transporter]], the Keelback boasts enhanced combat capabilities, stronger armour hardness and also has a [[Fighter Hangar]] installed for [[Ship-Launched Fighters]], which are useful in defensive situations. To support more weapons, it was also equipped with a larger [[Power Plant]]. These improvements reduce the Keelback's internal compartments and maximum cargo capacity, but allow it to better defend itself against [[Pirate]] attacks. The Keelback is also equipped with two external rotating thrusters, which tremendously increase rolling speed, effective during combat and also during smuggling when quicker maneuverability is required when approaching a station in when the ship is running in [[Silent Running]] mode. For pilots with a limited budget seeking a sturdy and versatile cargo ship, but are concerned about pirate encounters and need more defensive capabilities, the Keelback is a solid choice.
