PRODUCTION INFORMATION
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
STANDARD FEATURES
ADVANCED SYSTEMS
STRENGTHS
  • Maneuverability: The Keldab features top-of-the-line thruster systems that are fitted on unique, multidirectional and adjustable mount that allow the four individual thrusters to immediately fire in whatever necessary direction. This allows the Keldab to perform maneuverability feats that would otherwise be impossible with a conventional thruster system.
  • Iron Shield: The Keldab is extremely well-armored and well defended, built to withstand the toughest of point-defense systems to safely ferry Mandalorians in and out of combat.
  • Hyperdrive: The Keldab has an extremely fast hyperdrive grade, increasing its operational range and independence by decreasing its reliability on a capital ship for long-range travel.
WEAKNESSES
  • Squadron Count: Squadrons of the Keldab have lower ships-per-squadron than the average starfighter squadron, meaning that each ship is more valuable and losing a ship in battle is more consequential.
  • Dogfighting: With a large profile and poor offensive weapon systems, the Keldab is inadequate when it comes to offensive starfighter-to-starfighter combat.
DESCRIPTION
To wage war as a Mandalorian is perhaps one of the most dangerous occupations in the galaxy. But something even riskier is the feat of ferrying in and out blood-soaked, war-crazed fighters while point defenses pound at you, starfighters strafe at you, and you can do nothing but hope that your ship holds through until the next combat mission.

That is why the Enclave designed the MNV-56 Keldab Assault Dropship, a traditional Mandalorian design with a conventional twist to make it a true citadel of a transport. With extremely tough armor, shields, and point-defenses, casualty rates of transports mid-battle are estimated to be extremely low, an impressive feat given the high focus that dropships and their crews experience in combat from enemy weapon systems. This can also be owed to the non-conventional thruster systems of the Keldab, designed to be able to move directionally to provide better maneuverability and directional control for the Keldab while in combat.


The Keldab is designed to ferry Mandalorians in and out of battle, and thus most of the ship's interior is allocated towards that purpose. Four entrances into the main hold give flexibility for deployment, and all blast doors are double-reinforced to provide extra durability. At its maximum, the Keldab can ferry eighteen Mandalorian soldiers into combat, or around twice as many Cernr-type droids. It is a extremely durable ship with high maneuverability, and will no doubt save many lives and prove vital in combat functions as the Mandalorian Enclave expands into the galaxy and brings its influence to bear.
