Originally
designed for urban pacification, the Leviathan found its greatest
deployment near the end of the Human/Skaarj wars. The Leviathan
represents the ultimate in mobile military force projection,
able to carry one driver and four passengers. Each passenger
mans an anti-vehicular turret at the corners. The pilot can
target enemies with the rear-mounted rocket pack while driving,
firing a continuous swarm of projectiles. When the pilot needs
to hold a position, the main weapon can be deployed. This
will immobilize the Leviathan for stabilization. Powered by
two quantum-fusion impulse reactors, the main gun projectile
creates a negative singularity at the point of impact, drawing
all energy and matter out of the immediate area. Exploding
outward with devastating force, the shockwave can annihilate
everything within its radius. There are documented cases of
Leviathans single-handedly leveling entire cities and lone
attacks against a fully manned Leviathan are suicide.

The Leviathan is the most powerful and most armored vehicle
in the game, but all this comes at the cost of speed. An enemy
runs faster than the Leviathan drives at top speed. In addition
to the driver, the Leviathan can transport four players, all
of whom control side turrets.
While driving, the Leviathan driver has access to the rear
rocket turret, which can fire a continuous stream of rockets.
They home in on targets, but they aren’t too accurate.
Each additional player has access to a side turret which fires
plasma bolts. A fully armed Leviathan can be devastating,
and with 6000 points of armor, it takes a lot to bring it
down.
The Leviathan can be deployed into an immobile mode. In this
mode, the Leviathan cannot move and is more vulnerable to
damage, but the driver has access to an extremely powerful
ion weapon, similar to the Ion Cannon. Firing this weapon
at a target creates an ion beam, and seconds later, a huge
ball of ion at the target erupts in a devastating explosion,
killing everyone, regardless of health or armor, and causing
severe damage to any vehicles or power nodes/power core. Because
it is stationary in this mode, the driver should make sure
there is at least one or two players outside, ready to heal
the vehicle with the Link Gun whenever it gets damaged.
