The Leviathan class Merchant Cruiser 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[edit]
The vessels are semi-streamlined, allowing skimming refueling maneuvers as well as landings in types 0 and 1 atmospheres. Atmospheric landings are otherwise impossible, hence the large complement of ship's boats.
History & Background[edit]
Bilstein has made the design available for general sale, and fifteen have been completed (of which three have been lost), four building, and two on order. All vessels built by Bilstein Yards, Glisten.
Selected Ship Registry & Histories[edit]
Most vessels of this successful class remain in service in and about the Spinward Marches Sector. However, three have so far been lost to various causes:
- Amuar (MC-50247): Failed to return from a mission in Outrim, mid-1102. No known cause or survivors.
- Marcucci (MC-51336): Captured by corsairs 135-1095 in the Quare region of the Vilis Subsector. subsequently identified on a number of occasions in pirate service. Present fate unknown.
- Mar de Damas (MC-52861): Destroyed off Zaibon in the Lunion Subsector 022-1098. Mistaken by an Imperial Kokirrak class Dreadnought for the Marcucci due to a communications malfunction. Only 15 crew survived.
