'''Notes''':
*This craft has weak points around its Bridge, Engines and Flight Deck. Until the craft's Life-Support System, Engines and Flight Deck are all destroyed, it receives a General 1/4 Damage Reduction bonus. 

'''Description''': The primary purpose of the Kraken is that of a ship killer -- to locate, target and expeditiously destroy the capital ships of the opponent. It's remarkably good at this. There is no good Confed counterpart to the Kraken.

The Kraken has an extremely powerful weapon mounted at the prow -- a Plasma-based weapon unlike anything the Confed has developed. I tis capable of shredding the shields of almost any Terran ship with one blast. The system takes an enormous amount of energy -- in fact, it is believed that the majority of the ship's energy is diverted to the forward cannon prior to firing. This does not happen until the moment before the ship is used, however, and this the cannon remains uncharged until moments before it is fired.

All in all, it is not the most subtle of ships in the Alien fleet, but it is definitely one of the deadliest.

In an attempt to make the Kraken faster and more capable of gaining proximity to its targets, the Aliens designed it with only moderate armor beneath formidable shields. This is a liability that it compensates for by carrying a small number of interceptors for support.

It has shield emitters for the engines and bridge.
