Kraken illustration
The 'USM-53' Kraken was developed by Aegean Dynamics as one of the first hybrid land and water Mechs. Able to carry a large crew to the depths of ocean trenches, it proved instrumental in the construction and repair of underwater fibre net pipelines which were a vulnerable target during the cyberwars. It has a reputation for being a chunky Mech on land, but its pilots often extol its comfortable environmental systems which keeps it both airtight and watertight. When on land this also keeps it protected from wasteland debris, dust, and dangerous gases.
Chassis Ability
Integrated Amphibious Locomotion System
Passive
The Kraken has an integral Advanced Amphibious Locomotion System included in its profile. This allows The Kraken to operate indefinitely in underwater conditions at significant depths whilst also being able to walk on land. Its sealed Chassis is also airtight and watertight.
Blackbeard
The last report from Crawler #383 was of this Kraken surfacing near their docked Crawler and a horde of raiders storming out of its hatches.
