Star Citizen ship: Drake Kraken Privateer, multi-role / light carrier

Drake Kraken Privateer, official image — Official image © Cloud Imperium Games

The Kraken is a private-use attack carrier: a protector and a beacon of freedom in an often cruel universe, both sanctuary and self-contained war machine. Drake threw out the rule book to redefine civilian capital ships. The Privateer version turns this carrier into a private (and legal) marketplace.

📜 Its history

Drake partnered with Cousin Crow’s Custom Craft, known for quality aftermarket conversions of large vessels, to create this version.
