Service record

A long silver body trails behind a pale white head, and from every joint pour dozens of thin grey cables, each tipped with a sharp metal plug. They float and twist like the arms of a mechanical squid. Bright orange lights glow along its sides, a row of orange eyes stares from its helmet face, and a pink pilot brain sits exposed at its crown under clear glass.

The soul inside was Doran, an engineer who wired entire stations by hand. He wanted to Uplevel into a ship that could fix anything. What he got could connect to anything, and the ship's hunger for data slowly pulled him under. Now Cable Kraken plugs into whatever it catches.

Its special attack is the Siphon Grip. The cables latch onto a target, sink into its systems and drain its power, its weapons and even its memories. The Cyborons send it after enemy flagships, because once those cables bite, the ship stops being its own.
