What to know
The Drake Kraken is a privately operated capital carrier with six landing pads, two internal hangars, 3,792 SCU of cargo space, and the facilities needed to refuel, repair, and rearm its own ships far from port.
Kraken specifications
Bring your own fleet base
The Kraken combines a working flight deck, protected hangars, cargo storage, engineering spaces, crew accommodation, and defensive weapons in one mobile base. Fighters and support craft can land, receive service, and return to the mission without sending the entire group back to a station.
A carrier built for private crews
Drake applies its practical design philosophy at capital scale. The Kraken gives organizations and independent operators direct control over their ships, supplies, maintenance, and flight operations.
Carrier support far from port
Every major space aboard the Kraken supports the ships on its deck and the people who keep them flying.
Four pads support fighters and light craft, while two larger upper platforms can receive medium ships.
Two internal hangars give crews room to store ships, supplies, and equipment away from the exposed upper deck.
Carrier support systems let embarked craft return to service without relying on a nearby station.
The main hold carries fuel, parts, ammunition, vehicles, and supplies for long fleet operations.
Bring your own runway
The Kraken's exposed pads and internal hangars form a complete carrier workflow, from landing and unloading to maintenance and redeployment.
Kraken carrier capacity
Receive fighters, utility craft, and medium ships without returning the entire group to port.
Move damaged or empty craft into the internal hangars for protected maintenance and resupply.
A coordinated deck crew keeps pilots, equipment, parts, and supplies moving through the carrier.
Turn the Kraken into a Privateer
The Privateer conversion replaces part of the standard carrier interior with a mobile marketplace, giving visiting crews direct access to shops, storage, and trading space.
Visiting crews can browse a broad selection of goods without leaving the carrier.
Restricted trading areas support deals that need more privacy and control.
Merchant storage keeps inventory close to the sales floor and connected to the ship's cargo network.
Flight-deck access lets buyers, sellers, and escorts arrive without routing the Kraken through a station.
A carrier run by a coordinated crew
The Kraken is designed for ten crew members, but the ships on its deck bring their own pilots and support teams. Clear roles keep flight operations, maintenance, cargo work, engineering, and defensive fire moving at the same time.
The people behind the flight deck
A successful carrier operation depends on more than flying the Kraken. The crew must guide arriving ships, keep the deck clear, move supplies, repair damage, and protect the airspace around every launch and landing.
Deck crews and pilots share a clear schedule so one ship does not block the next landing or launch.
Maintenance and cargo teams move fuel, ammunition, replacement parts, and mission equipment where they are needed.
Turret crews defend the carrier and the ships around it while the flight deck continues operating.
