Name of Ship: Leviathan
Home Universe/Name of Franchise: StarcraftShip Class: LeviathanRole: Assault Carrier
Physical Size (roughly): Approximately 6.7 kilometers in length.
Armament/Complement (roughly): Force Compliment;
- Many tens of thousands of Zerg of varying strains (and the ability to produce more rapidly through internal hatcheries), and Zerg that are deployed are able to establish their own hatcheries to further increase this number outside of the Leviathan.
- Numerous space-capable Zerg strains such as Mutalisks and Broodlords, as well as Scourge.
Leviathan capabilities;
- Many drop pods, able to drop zerg on any planetary surface or the exterior of ships and stations (subject to point defense).
- Bio-Plasmid Discharges, the Leviathan firing plasma-like bile at it’s target.
- Tentacles, which can be both used to attack as well as act as boarding tubes.
History of the Ship: Kasira’s personal Leviathan was one of several in Kasira’s Brood, and had a healthy life within the Swarm. Kasira’s Brood was responsible for many attacks on the Terran front, conquering an array of planets under the rule of the Queen of Blades, and then again when she was reborn. Both Kasira and her brood survived until the rise of the Overqueen Zagara, of which they followed the directives of just as they had the previous leader of the Swarm.
Broodmother Kasira assisted in taking over worlds in close proximity to Char. There was a ceasefire, but that didn’t stop Kasira from rooting out those who had taken up refuge in those worlds if they refused to leave, as she was under the direction of the Overqueen. Kasira only ordered her Brood on the attack if whoever she was against tried to engage them; otherwise, Kasira’s Brood forced them to leave by destroying supplies and structures until they evacuated.
There was one planet that broke the string of successes. A protoss planet with a research base on it with phase-smiths working away on projects. Attacks were ordered by Kasira to destroy the base in order to force the Protoss out, but she got more than she bargained for. A weapon that Kasira did not recognise was deployed, a titanic device that was certainly going to pose a problem for the invasion of the planet. Kasira ordered her Brood to destroy it, and it fired.
The weapon opened up like a flower might with petals and formed a warp rift, pulling in Kasira’s Leviathan slowly, most likely to its doom. Just as the Leviathan entered, Kasira’s Brood managed to destroy the weapon. It was either the fact that the weapon was a first prototype, the disruption caused in its effect as it was destroyed, or both that caused Kasira’s Leviathan to be spun through warp space for days. Kasira believed she might be dead, and that was what being dead was like, until the Leviathan was forcefully shoved out of warp space… Somewhere.
Notable Crew: Broodmother Kasira
Unique Technology: Broodmother Kasira’s Leviathan sports an Evolution Chamber like many other Leviathans. This allows Kasira to instruct and modify her Brood to evolve into different forms with different advantages, if she has the biomass and essence to do so. The Leviathan also has internal hatcheries, allowing it to produce more Zerg.
Crew Size: The Leviathan technically does not need any crew, as it is it’s own, living being. However, in reality, it requires a Broodmother to control it, else it will be feral. As such, it only requires one control-capable Zerg as it’s “crew”, and even then, the “crew” does not need to be on board to communicate and control it.
Faction/Operator/Owner: The Leviathan is controlled by Broodmother Kasira, who is a Broodmother of the Zerg Swarm.
