Kraken Privateer

The Drake Kraken Privateer is a variant of the Kraken intended to serve as a mobile marketplace or outpost. The ship can accommodate many ships and also offer habitation for travelers that may want to stay a little longer.

Features

 * Public market: The beating heart of the Privateer features space for eight separate shops, each with 189 SCU of secure storage for stock and consumables.
 * Private market: The private marketplace houses two additional shops, each with 189 SCU of storage space, and is the perfect place to peddle your more "rarefied" wares.
 * Internal Hangars: A spacious multi-purpose hangar can keep your org topped off with fuel and supplies, spring serious firepower on unsuspecting interlopers, and accommodate a variety of vessels - if it fits, it sits.
 * Landing Platforms: The Kraken's versatile landing facilities support a varied fleet, with four pads for smaller craft, two larger platforms for medium-sized ships, and a hanger for personal vehicles.
 * Habitation units: The Kraken's landing pads, ample defenses, and generous onboard accommodations perfectly lend themselves to the Privateer conversion, offering security and amenities for buyers and sellers alike.
 * Turrets: Five manned and four remote turrets, positioned at strategic vantage points around the ship, provide the firepower to blow even the most daunting troublemakers out of the sky.
 * Bridge: Command your flying fortress with confidence from the state-of-the-art bridge that redefines what it means to captain a capital-class vessel.
 * Engineering: Easy access to the ship's engineering platform lets your crew effortlessly keep the engines stoked and your flying marketplace on course.

Variants

 * Kraken: the base variant is designated as a multi-role Light Carrier. 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.

History
Drake partnered with Cousin Crow's Custom Craft to create this conversion. They are known for their quality aftermarket conversions of large-scale vessels, and this Kraken turns the ferocious Kraken attack carrier into a private yet legal marketplace.

Development
The Kraken Privateer was revealed during CitizenCon 2949 and made available for pledge purchase during the seventh day of the 2949 Intergalactic Aerospace Expo. It was available in limited numbers as a Warbond purchase, standard purchase, and a Kraken to Kraken Privateer conversion kit.
