Legend

native to the crystalline waters of Dorumaa, these ocean-dwelling mammals were quite rare. During the years following the Battle of Naboo, the Alliance for the Creation of Habitable Environments worked to protect the leviathan population. Their work intensified when a pair of leviathan calves were born, believed to have been the last offspring of the entire species. The mother of the calves mysteriously disappeared, leaving the two infants to fend for themselves. Many scientists believed that the calves' mother had been frozen beneath the planet's surface in a type of Force-induced trance, and that she had returned to the trance after giving birth. Investigation by xenobiologists, led by the Kel Dor A. Rahring, found that the leviathan bore a striking resemblance to the immense star cruisers produced by the Mon Calamari. This led many to believe that the leviathan species had, at some point, been imported to Dorumaa from Calamari, although there was no evidence to prove this. Shortly afterward, one of the calves also disappeared, and many beings believed that it had been kidnapped by Rufus Trammel.
