History
This is a newly-formed command with a unique specialization in naval combat. Their first contract brought them to Remshield. The planet had lost its atmosphere and high-tech to the Succession Wars. With the aid first from the NAIS and later from House Liao, the system of terraforming was repaired and the Kraken served as the garrison force.[1]
A raiding force discovered the command and payed a great price for bad intelligence work. The bandits surrendered after suffering heavy looses of submarines and, later, the capture of their Dropship.[1]
The unit was relocated to Principia, and after two years of peace they met the forces of the 1st Andurien Rangers. The Kraken used their forces well, exhausting the Rangers' lines to the breaking point. With the continued losses of the Rangers, the Andurien forces retreated from the planet.[1]
While stationed on Principia Kraken Unleashed worked with the local shipwright industries to develop a new capability for their armed forces; Submersible Mechanized Infantry. Using locally-produced Harpoon parasubmersibles, the Submersible Mechanised Infantry squads could be moved rapidly deploy via transport along with their parasubs to anywhere on a planet. The new infantry squads packed enough of a punch that they could stave off even determined underwater 'Mech attacks.[2]
Officer
As of 3067 to 3085 the commanding officer of the unit is Major Phil McBain, who was a member of the Free Skye Movement, and led his unit with great skill.[1][3]
Tactic
The unit has several ways to attack and retreat: Infantry use Submarines, APCs, or dive equipment. Attack submarines lay ambushes or traps, and the command also uses naval assaults. The 'Mechs are used as support units.[1]
Support
The techs are experts in all cases of naval technologies. The equipment of the unit is too large to relocate from a planet as an entire unit.[1]
