Leviathan Shipyards
An Introduction:
What is Leviathan Shipyards?
Leviathan Shipyards is a small shipbuilding company founded by Aeolith-IV veteran military engineer Erik Weyland. Focusing on designing and/or creating custom vessels for the standard space traveller, Leviathan aims to provide buyers with efficient, aesthetic and unique ships. No two Leviathan custom-ordered ships will ever be the same (Unless a customer has specifically asked for a reconstruction of a ship already purchased by said customer).
Commissioning a ship:
If you want to order, or commission a ship from Leviathan, please contact the founder personally ((In game)) or through comms channels ((Here)). Leviathan does not yet accept commissions for battlecruisers or larger ships (100m+).
Pricing:
The price of commissioning a ship depends on the materials, mechanical complexity and quality of the end product. Prices will vary according to circumstances, but the base price will always be relative to (But is not limited to) the following factors:
Effectiveness
Size
Design (More traditional designs cost less, but unique ships cost more)
Furnishing (Details)
Payment for the materials required may be asked for before construction in order to ensure that there are enough materials to supply the creation of the vessel.
Our specialties:
Leviathan Shipyards specialises in smaller, cheaper ships of both civilian and military qualifications. Leviathan Ships often feature state-of-the-art interior crew quarters and facilities, along with powerful generators and reactors. Our engineers here at the yard aren't afraid of trying new things, and pushing the limits of both man and machine.
Catalog:
LIGHT CATALOG (FIGHTERS, INTERCEPTORS, LIGHT BOMBERS, S&R ETC.)
LS-1 Caudacaeus Support Vessel
Civilian aid delivery medical vehicle. Tooled with a repair beam for patching up ships and a salvage system to clear debris, this civilian ship is not by design armed; theoretically, however, the salvage system could be reversed to hurl debris at a target, giving the Caudacaeus some form of self defence.
LS-2 Gryphon Interceptor
An agile, cheap light fighter suitable for both civilian and military use. Constructed using a light duracarbon frame and a nanopolymer hull, this one seat craft is armed with dual SPc43 spectrum cannons capable of combatting other light craft. Two M1107 mining lasers allow the LS-2 to perform precision mining of valuable materials. Though a capable craft, the LS-2 is slightly fragile due to its small size and should refrain from entering combat.
LS-3 Piranha
Cheap, compact and efficient, the Piranha-class shuttle is a small, unarmed civilian model for inter-station travel. Built with affordability and accessibility in mind, Piranhas go for low prices. Though they don't have power grids sufficient to support jump systems, Piranhas come with an autopilot feature that allows pilots to set a course, lay back and relax and chill with a drink from the cooler. Indeed, the People's Shuttle.
(Alcohol not supported for models ordered by one Isobel Vexare due to obvious reasons.)
LS-4 Stingray
A military fire support vessel. Boasting two coil guns for firepower, the Stingray is designed as a frontline shell-delivery system. However, due to insufficient demand because of current circumstances, production of the Stingray has been halted until further notice. Customers may order one, however, by contacting a representative personally.
MEDIUM CATALOG (HEAVY FIGHTERS, CORVETTES, PATROL SHIPS ETC.)
LSM-1 Midas miner
A respectably-sized miner. Built around a powerful cub atom mining harpoon, the Midas comes with a powerful energy grid to support the harpoon indefinitely, and is defended by a mass driver turret. Crew quarters consist of two regular crew member rooms and one “master” room for the captain. These accommodations each come with their own food replicators, personal computers and TVs. Purchasing one costs about 1.3-1.5 million, depending on circumstances. The Midas has a very distinctive shape; the vertical scanner placement has resulted in quite a few likening its appearance to an ancient sailing ship.
LSM-2 Charbonnet (CharB) Torpedo cutter
A much more compact, smaller version of the Archangel and Bird of Hermes concepts. Instead of one singular massive warship, the Charbonnet concept arose from the need for a stopgap measure between the fighters and the heavy frigates. And so the Charbonnet, or the CharB, was born. Armed with two autoloader siege torpedoes, a set of secondary tracking ion torpedoes, and a tertiary set of tracking modular torpedoes, the CharB is designed to handle all threats reasonably well as a jack-of-all-trades. The vessel, aside from its torpedoes, carries a MLRS system to combat fighters, as well as a last-ditch nuclear warhead. The massive array of explosives is topped off with a single ballistic cannon. Crew facilities are very luxurious for such a vessel, including a common mess hall, large crew member rooms and a common room for interaction outside of combat.
LARGE CATALOG (Heavy frigates, Escort Carriers, GMCs,Your Mom)
LSL-1 Bird of Hermes
The first de facto “capital ship” of Leviathan forces. A massive, 3800+ mass heavy frigate built around a powerful revolver-fed railgun, the Bird of Hermes was designed to punch through station and ship shields and quickly eliminate critical infrastructure with minimal collateral. In other words, it was a sniper. The main weapon was supplemented by an array of follow-up missiles in case rapid destruction of physical mass was required. Production was interrupted by a variety of incidents, such as when then-unknown criminal Kylo Mortis attempted to steal the prototype. The Bird of Hermes was also involved in exiling Kylo from Syndicate space. The vessel was eventually replaced by the Archangel series. Known kills include at least one small pirate station and a SoB depot. Said SoB depot would later be reclaimed and renamed Charlie station, Leviathan’s current home base.
LSL-2 Archangel
The spiritual successor to the Bird of Hermes, Archangel is a massive step up from the sniper frigate. Counting in at 4200+ mass, the Archangel has double the shield capacity of the Bird of Hermes, and wields a main weapon nearly 3 times as large as its predecessor. This weapon, known as the Centrifugal High Exposive Killer and Mark And Targetting Entity, has been proven in combat to take down the shields of even a warp relay within a second. Its physical destruction is second to none, eating through advanced armour like a knife through butter. CHECKMATE is entirely controlled from the heavily armoured interior Fire Control Center (FCC), which is linked to the outside world only through cameras. The weapon consists of 42 separate exit points, each firing nearly 5200 kilograms of ordnance on target per minute.The only prototype destroyed a warp relay and heavily damaged a fighter base before being ambushed by an armada of nearly 20 enemy light frigates, where it sustained damage to the 4th tertiary thruster and the observation deck.
Experimental Catalog (Use at your own risk!)
LSX-1 Tiger Moth
A small, agile scout ship. Weak shields, non-existent armour and barely any weapons; Why would anyone buy it? The reason is, it's high power generation to mass ratio means it can stay cloaked permanently using the Sea of Dirac system. The ship can also effectively drop off both visual and radar-based detectors for a long, though limited amount of time. Overcharged engines mean that the Tiger Moth can also speed up to twice the usual cruising speed of a normal ship. All these characteristics comes at a price, however; the Tiger Moth, if discovered, is quickly dispatched due to its tiny size and lack of armour. Comes with a jumpring if the customer wishes so.
===EXPERIMENTS DIVISION===
What is the Experimental Division?
The Experimental Division, or ExDev, is the subsection of the Shipyard that deals with...Unconventional ideas. Here at the ExDev, or Burn Ward as coined by other members of the shipyard, we play with nuclear shells! Liquid nitrogen cooling systems! Highly unstable wormhole pizza delivery systems! And the like. The ExDev is responsible for cooking up new ideas and concepts for the rest of the team to get off their arses and start working on the technical aspects.
How to join ExDev
Just contact a representative either through encrypted communications or through the SyncNet. We are always in need oftest pilots brave men and women to break through the limits of man and machine alike.

We look forward to doing business with you.
