Private-use attack carrier
Drake Kraken
Drake threw out the rulebook to make a private-use capital carrier: a self-sustaining flying fortress with six landing pads, internal hangars, mammoth cargo capacity, and enough firepower to make even daunting frigates reconsider the fight.
A capital combat ship built for patrol, militia command, and anti-capital strike work.
Compact for a capital vessel, large enough to carry serious support spaces.
Wide enough for a fighter bay, cargo paths, and defensive systems.
Capital carrier height with a broad working deck.
Built for organized multi-crew operation.
Cargo capacity supports ordnance, vehicles, supplies, and reload workflows.
Four small pads and two upper platforms support a varied carrier air wing.
Five manned and four remote turrets cover the carrier from strategic vantage points.
Carrier briefing
Release the Kraken
Marketed as an attack carrier and light carrier, the Kraken is Drake's most ambitious ship: a capital-scale home base for org defense, industrial logistics, fighter support, and the kind of freedom that arrives with armor plating.
Carrier profile
Self-sustaining fortress
The Kraken is a protector, warehouse, landing platform, refuel point, repair stop, and intimidation engine in one Drake-shaped package.
- Capital carrier manufactured by Drake Interplanetary for private, corporate, and industrial power projection.
- Six landing pads support a varied fleet: four smaller pads and two upper platforms for medium-sized ships.
- Internal hangars and a Dragonfly bay support ships, vehicles, supplies, refuel, repair, and rearm workflows.
- 3,792 SCU of cargo and comfortable habs turn the Kraken into a mobile warehouse and base of operations.
Operational profile
How the Kraken works
Command
A capital bridge, engineering spaces, landing control, cargo teams, turret crews, and deck operations make the Kraken feel like a working carrier.
Firepower
Five manned and four remote turrets cover the ship, giving a private carrier enough defensive and offensive bite.
Support
Six landing pads and internal hangars allow smaller craft to land, rearm, refuel, repair, and redeploy.
Endurance
A 3,792 SCU main hold, Dragonfly bay, crew habs, and medical support make it a self-contained base rather than a one-job carrier.
Features
Power in your hands
The Kraken rewards an organized deck crew: pilots, turret gunners, engineers, cargo handlers, medical support, and flight-deck coordination all matter when your carrier becomes the center of the fight.
KING SLAYER
Flying fortress
Six landing pads, internal hangars, and full support workflows let the Kraken project a fleet from one private carrier.
HANGAR ABOARD
Landing platform
A spacious internal hangar and carrier deck support ships that need to land, refuel, rearm, repair, or disappear into the hold.
GO THE DISTANCE
Mobile warehouse
Comfortable habs, medical support, a massive cargo bay, and engineering access keep a full crew operating away from port.
POINT DEFENSE
Nine turret coverage
Five manned and four remote turrets give the carrier complete-coverage defensive and offensive firepower.
CARGO AND RELOAD
3,792 SCU hold
A 3,792 SCU cargo hold turns the Kraken into a mobile warehouse for fleets, industrial teams, and opportunists.
MILITIA FLAGSHIP
Private command
Designed for private and corporate operations, the Kraken can protect, haul, support, intimidate, and carry the business with it.
Power to the people
Six landing padsWeapons and launch systems
Exact battlefield loadout
The Kraken uses five manned turrets and four remote turrets positioned around the hull to cover the carrier, protect deck operations, and threaten ships that get too confident.

Kraken Privateer conversion
The Privateer turns the Kraken's carrier platform into a mobile marketplace with public shops, private trading space, landing pads, cargo handling, and Drake-grade security.
Marketplace carrier
Trade from your own runway
Built with Cousin Crow's conversion expertise, the Kraken Privateer replaces part of the standard carrier interior with a legal onboard marketplace: eight public shops, two private-market shops, dedicated storage, and landing-pad access for buyers, sellers, and escorts.

Drake visual archive
Kraken carrier gallery
The Kraken reads as Drake at capital scale: industrial plating, visible purpose, carrier-deck mass, and a silhouette built for people who would rather own the runway than request permission.
Unveiling destruction
Unleash The Kraken
The Kraken is defined by ownership of space: a private carrier that can bring ships, cargo, repair, refuel, medical support, and serious turret coverage into one self-sustaining platform.
Munitions
Mobile base in the stars
Landing pads, hangars, nine turrets, medical support, Dragonfly deployment, and 3,792 SCU of cargo make the Kraken a capital carrier with teeth, cargo space, and a very Drake sense of personal freedom.
Procurement

Manufacturer history
Inside Drake Interplanetary
Drake Interplanetary is the manufacturer for crews who value utility, accessibility, and unapologetic private power over polish.
Drake built its name on ships that are cheaper to buy, easier to justify, and rugged enough to keep flying after prettier competitors have gone home.
The Kraken carries Drake's promise into capital territory: your fleet, your deck, your cargo, your rules.
Drake spans scrappy personal ships, heavy haulers, salvage platforms, and now a carrier built around private logistical control.

Origin story
Built for the people who work
Drake Interplanetary built its name on rugged, affordable spacecraft that put capability into private hands. The Kraken takes that philosophy to capital scale: less ceremony, more deck space, cargo volume, and hard utility.
It is not a polished admiralty trophy. It is a flying fortress and mobile warehouse for crews who want control over their own logistics, protection, and carrier operations.
Utility before theater
Drake ships tend to look like tools because that is the point. The brand's strongest silhouettes are readable, modular, and built around work: cargo routes, crew stations, component access, and enough structure to make distant operations feel routine.
Back in the patrol line
The Kraken answers a very Drake question: what if a private org could bring its own runway, hangars, cargo depot, and defensive guns into hostile space?
Militia command, public hands
The Militia Mobilization Initiative made the Kraken legible to Citizens as more than a Navy asset. It is a flagship for organized groups that need patrol, interdiction, rescue capacity, and deterrence in one disciplined platform.
Why it matters for Kraken
Kraken is Drake practicality at capital scale.
The Kraken makes sense because Drake has always sold capability before permission. It lets private crews carry their own ships, supplies, repair support, and intimidation factor wherever the job takes them.
Modern footprint
From starter hulls to capital command
Modern Drake spans workhorse haulers, scrappy fighters, industrial ships, militia favorites, and the capital-scale Kraken.
The Kraken sits at the loudest end of that family: carrier deck first, cargo hold second, etiquette nowhere on the manifest.
