Specifications
Design details
The shape of the Kraken is very similar to real life squids (and due to its massive proportions), this has landed its nickname by the UNSC after the mythological creature of the same name. The Kraken is comprised of a large hollow structure that allows large aerial vehicles such as the Phantom to fly and even land inside of it. Throughout the Kraken, there are several Shade turrets deployed for defense. The area above the hollow section is solid, capping it off. Below the hollow section there are several more Shade turrets and docking bays that can house Banshees.
The core is most likely housed in the bottom-most section, where the 3 limb-like mechanisms protrude. The core is susceptible to heavy ordnance such as the Fuel Rod and goes critical after a few hits.
The Kraken is able to fly through unclear means, but can also support itself on its limbs if needed.
Armament
The Kraken features several Type-26 Shades located all over it. Each of these, however, must be piloted individually.
Its limbs can also be used offensively and are capable of massive structural damage.
