The [[StarCitizen:Drake|Drake Interplanetary]] '''Kraken''' is marketed by its manufacturer as an Attack Carrier,<ref name=":0" /> and designated by popular ship dealers as a multi-role Light Carrier.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=pledge/ships|text=Ships Page}}</ref> 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.<ref name=":0">{{Cite RSI|url=comm-link/transmission/16772-Release-The-Kraken|text=Comm-Link: Release the Kraken!}}</ref><br />
<br />
The Kraken is a true carrier in the sense that it is able to refuel, rearm and repair the crafts it carries<ref name="Q&A:DK">{{Cite RSI|url=comm-link/engineering/16813-Q-A-Drake-Kraken|text=Q&A: Drake Kraken}}</ref><ref name="Q&A:KP">{{Cite RSI|url=comm-link/engineering/17392-Q-A-Drake-Kraken-Privateer|text=Q&A: Drake Kraken Privateer}}</ref>.<br />
