Kraken

The Drake Kraken 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.

Features

 * Turrets: Five manned and four remote turrets to provide complete coverage; suitable for both defense and attack.
 * Internal Hangars: Two multi-purpose hangars for storing anything from supplies to cargo to ships.
 * Landing Platforms: Six versatile landing pads support a varied fleet - four pads suit smaller fighters, while the two upper platforms accommodate medium-sized ships.
 * Dragonfly Bay: The rear of the ship consists of a vast cargo hold and a bay designed as a one-stop shop for Dragonflies, or other small vehicles, capable of rapid, dynamic deployment.
