The Leviathan class Merchant Cruiser is a mercantile starship.
- It is a civilian ship and a Merchant Cruiser.
- This ship was designed jointly by Bilstein Yards of Glisten and the Baraccai Technum from previous designs and is primarily intended for independent cruising in undeveloped trade areas; high survivability is also a design factor.
Description (Specifications)
The vessels are semi-streamlined, allowing skimming refuelling manoeuvres as well as landings in types 0 and 1 atmospheres. Atmospheric landings are otherwise impossible, hence the large complement of ship's boats.
