Living superweapons, leviathans roamed battlefields and drew the life-energies of enemy soldiers into blister traps that dotted their wide backs. When they killed a being, they could absorb all of his knowledge. They also could travel through lava unscathed.The Leviathans were also used to great effect on the Jedi during the 100 years long darkness, led by Kun and his dark jedi
History
Edit
- "They predate the Sith Order. The Dark Jedi that would become the first Sith Lords we know today created them during the Hundred Year Darkness, over seven thousand years ago."
- ―Vul Isen, regarding Leviathans
Following the Battle of Corbos in 6,900 BBY, the Leviathans virtually disappeared from the galaxy, only emerging on Corbos every time colonists attempted to establish themselves there. In 12 ABY, they were destroyed by the Jedi Knight Kyp Durron. In 137 ABY Sith scientist Vul Isen of the One Sith engineered a Sea Leviathan to aid in the genocide on the planet Dac. Following the destruction of the beast, Master Treis Sinde reported to Roan Fel that the One Sith may produce the land based creatures as the conflict in the Second Imperial Civil War raged on.
