==Description==
The largest capital missile in common use, the '''Kraken-T''' was developed by the [[Draconis Combine Admiralty]] for use in their new [[WarShips]]. It is guided to its target via dedicated control links that allow the missile to communicate with the [[WarShip]] or [[DropShip]] that launched it. These dedicated links allow a human gunner to guide the missile into its target. Though the Kraken-T cannot target [[aerospace fighter]]s with any degree of accuracy,<ref name="AT2p41">''AeroTech 2'', p. 41, "Teleoperated Missiles"</ref> a larger target hit by a Kraken will take severe damage from the massive warhead.

After receiving the plans and schematics from the DCA during the [[Clan Invasion]] détente, these missiles became particularly popular with the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] Navy. They appear on their ''[[Overlord|Overlord A-3]]'', ''[[Arondight]]'', and ''[[Excalibur (DropShip class)|Excalibur]]'' [[Pocket WarShip|Pocket WarShips]].
