| [[File:ZlCfzRE3pLkutMwP0E.jpg|thumb|300px]]The '''S.S.''' '''Drake''' (ドレイク) is the main ship in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. It was built by [[Alph|Alph's]] grandfather<ref>http://pikmin3.nintendo.com/story/</ref>. Much like the other ships from the ''Pikmin'' series, it serves as the main storage unit for all the gathered objects found by the captains. Its other purpose is to transport the captains from place to place. [[Charlie]] is its captain and Alph is its engineer. The Drake was named after Alph's grandfather, who is also called Drake.

| | {{stub}} |
| The Drake is very different from the ships in ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2 ''in design, as it appears to be more technologically advanced. The cockpit is also different in that it is capable of holding more people, and may also be used as an access hatch. The Drake has a base from which four legs protrude, containing green lights, a hydraulics system and several other hidden mechanisms.
| | The S.S. Drake is the ship that harbors the three [[leader]]s in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', and processes the fruit found into juice on which the the trio survives on [[PNF-404]]. |
| | | [[Category:Ships]] |
| Directly on top of the base is a round body, featuring red lights and several other unique characteristics. It holds the three captains, has a long antenna attached to the top, and harbors a small satellite from which a blue beam emanates to help collect and analyze objects. It appears to have a world map on the back side.

| ==Background==
| |
| Soon after the discovery of [[PNF-404]], the Drake was designed and built by Alph's grandfather (whose name is, by the way, Drake) exclusively for our hero's mission. It then picks up [[Alph]], [[Brittany]], and Captain [[Charlie]] before initiating warp-drive. As they arrive at PNF-404, something goes wrong as the Drake attempts to enter the atmosphere, and it ejects the three occupants onto the planet below, all of which who land on different locations on the planet's surface. During the crash, the Drake loses an important mechanism, the '''''Cosmic-drive Key.'''''
| |
| | |
| Charlie awakes in a snowy world, where he discovers [[Yellow Pikmin]]. However, his side of the story is cut short as he is soon abducted by the [[Vehemoth Phosbat]].
| |
| | |
| After landing in a pool of water, Alph regains conciousness to see a damaged the Drake overhead, struggling to land safely. The sight startles him enough to wake him up fully, and he begins exploration of the surrounding area alone. Eventually, he comes across the [[Red Pikmin]] and their [[Onion]], and using their help, is able to recover his [[KopPad]] device and relocate the Drake, which was able to land safely.
