Mythical Terror (Space Vehicle Cosmetic)

Kraken's hull is adorned with blood-red paint, and deep blacks accents, with jagged streaks of gold or silver mimicking the scars of battle. Its once-polished chromium trim is weathered only glimmering under direct sunlight, giving the ship a rugged, battle-worn look. The yacht’s elegant, curved silhouette remains intact, but the modifications make it clear that this is no ordinary pleasure cruiser.

A massive skull of a leviathan Krayt dragon has been mounted on the prow, while the rest of the hull is covered by a huge stylized emblem of a mythical Nal Huttan Fire-kraken, both serving as a warning to those who might cross Kraken's path. The viewports are tinted to an eerie crimson, giving the impression of predatory eyes watching from the darkness of space.

Plunder and Blood (Space Vehicle Modification)

Kraken' interior retains plenty of its former opulence, but it has been repurposed to accommodate the Warmonger corsairs. Velvet lounges, hookah dens and fine furniture are mixed with weapons racks, armor storage, and shooting ranges. While the main throneroom still serves its original purpose, it is also used as a war room with a large holographic table. The whole room has been draped in banners of vanquished vessels and adorned with trophies taken from defeated foes, or fealty offerings from lesser crews.

One of the cargo holds has been converted into a reinforced holding area for prisoners, informants, and hostages used in ransom negotiations, the others remain areas fitted with hidden compartments for illicit goods and stolen treasures. Halls formerly used for casinos, bars and entertainment have been repurposed into lounges used for drinking, gambling, and occasional fight tournaments, as well as crew quarters.
