Legend

this ancient Indictor warship was part of the Old Republic's navy, during the years leading up to the Great Sith War. It was the first ship of its kind, with the ability to counteract the effects of a starship's hyperdrive, and was commanded by Admiral Saul Karath. When Karath became one of the first officers of the Old Republic naval forces to defect and join the Sith, he took the Leviathan with him, turning the vessel over to Darth Malak. The ship was known to have been responsible for the destruction of Taris, and was instrumental in Darth Malak's search for the Star Forge. Measuring some 600 meters in length, the Leviathan was armed with twenty quad laser cannons, four gravity well projectors, a pair of ion cannons, four turbolasers, and a tractor beam projector. Additionally, the hangar bays of the ship could accommodate two full squadrons of Sith Fighters.
