The Drake Kraken is designated as a Multi-role Light Carrier.[1] With comfortable habs for a full crew, mammoth cargo capacity, and enough armament to blow even the most daunting frigate out of the sky, this self-sustaining flying fortress is the most ambitious project Drake has ever undertaken, and a testament to the empowerment of the people.[2]

Variants

Kraken Privateer: Drake Interplanetary has partnered with Cousin Crow's Custom Craft, well known for its quality aftermarket conversions of large-scale vessels, to redefine interstellar commerce. This official conversion endows the ferocious Kraken attack carrier with a private yet legal marketplace. After all, you shouldn't have to break the law to chase your entrepreneurial dreams.[3]

Development

The Kraken was first introduced in 2017-12-01 in the vote "YOU Pick the Next Drake Ship". It came second in the vote to be the next Drake ship by backers with 37% of 37696 voters.[4]

Pre-release appearance

During the 2950 Drake Defensecon, the ship was on display at the Riker Memorial Spaceport in Area18. It was represented by a downscaled holographic display of the model.[5]
