The Kraken is an upcoming multi role - light carrier capital size ship manufacturer by Drake Interplanetary. The main focus of the Kraken is to operate as a mobile operating base with being able to repair, refuel and transport small to medium size ships as well as cargo. The Kraken is also available in the upgraded Kraken Privateer variant that trades cargo capacity for commerce.

The release date has not been announced as of 2021.

“	The Kraken is a protector and a beacon of freedom in a too-often cruel universe. For those tasked with safekeeping Citizens unable to protect themselves, the Kraken is both a sanctuary and a self-contained war machine ready to take on the most daunting adversaries. Drake has thrown out the rule book to redefine private-use capital-class ships, attack carriers, and the very nature of personal freedom. It's nothing if not a testament to the empowerment of the people.	”
