Ark Galactapedia

The Kraken is a light carrier manufactured by Drake Interplanetary that debuted in 2948. Intended to be a mobile base of operations for a crew of up to ten, the Kraken has six landing pads equipped with repair and refueling stations for smaller spacecraft, as well as a vehicle bay and hangar. The standard model features a comprehensive array of turrets and guns that can be used to defend the ship if attacked. A variant of the Kraken, the Privateer, was developed in conjunction with Cousin Crow’s Custom Crafts and converts the interior space into a private marketplace, so traveling merchants can operate their own shops without having to pay rental fees for temporary stalls on other worlds.
