The new model kraken was the standardized artillery piece of the Imperial Charisian Navy.
It weighed approximately 2.5 tons and fired a thirty-pound round shot with a diameter of approximately 5.9 inches. Although it weighed slightly less than the old kraken and its round shot was twelve percent lighter, it was actually longer ranged and fired at a higher velocity because of reductions in windage, improvements in gunpowder, and slightly increased barrel length.
