[edit] Characteristics
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.
[edit] History
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.
[edit] Behind the scenes
The leviathan was named for the Biblical creature of the same name.
Darth Malak's flagship could have been named after the creature
