something I commissioned from the amazing @foodcu-be.bsky.social Captain Androx off the USS Leviathan sitting in his ready room reading a padd.

Like most Odyssey class starships, Leviathan was originally fitted with a bridge module very similar to USS Verity's. However, when Levithan's bridge took critical damage during the Klingon attack that ended the B'Tran Cluster mission, the ship's bridge was completely rebuilt.

The difference between the Block III Odyssey-class and the previous two versions was not just that it had never been equipped with the failed Fleet Formation technology, they were also fitted with increased hangar space, allowing for a greater number of auxiliary craft, including wings of fighters.

Decided to add an Ark Royal class into @ussleviathan.bsky.social's lineage as the third Federation ship to bare the name. Launched around early-mid 2280's, I wanna work the Whale Probe and (maybe) Tomed Incident into its story.

So, I've kinda been neglecting this project, largely because most of it was on twitter and updating the bluesky page seemed like too big of a thing and I just wanted to move to the next step, but I'm still kinda figuring out what that step is. But, I want you to know, this is still a thing.

While exploring the B’Tran Cluster, Leviathan cataloged new anomalies, charted unexplored systems, and remarkable discoveries and first contacts. However, they weren’t the only ship in the cluster. In mid-2407, Leviathan was intercepted by a multiple Klingon ships. (1/4)

While the Federation had hoped to enter a new era of peace following Frontier day, the rest of the galaxy had it’s own ideas. Tensions between the Klingon Empire and Gorn Hegemony quickly escalate to war following the rise of the new Klingon chancellor, J’mpok. (1/5)

The Aquarius-class escort featured armaments similar to a Defiant-class, but was roughly half the size, giving it an operational range only a bit larger than a standard Runabout. Because of this, it was utilized as an auxiliary craft for starbases and Odyssey-class ships. (1/2)

When the first Odyssey-class ships started launching, many in Starfleet began to affectionately referring to them as "space whales" due to their large size and shape. This inspired the naming convention for the Block III Odysseys, fabled and mythical sea creatures.

Leaving behind the tumultuous times of the late 24th century and moving into the 25th, a renewed effort was made for Starfleet to focus more on its primary mission of exploration, discovery, and diplomacy. "Getting Starfleet back to its roots," as it was often put.

Starfleet Emergency Protocol NX12.11, aka Fleet Formation Mode, was a computer protocol developed to place any Starfleet ship under automated control to vastly improve fleet coordination. It was publicly unveiled at the Frontier Day celebration above Earth in 2401. (1/3)

The third block of Odyssey-class starships were commissioned by Starfleet in 2401 to replenish losses suffered from the Borg attack on Frontier Day. USS Leviathan (NCC-97047) was the eighth ship and launched from the San Francisco Fleet Yards in 2403. Image is a screenshot taken in Star Trek Online
