The Leviathan is an aggressive, lance-prowed strike and boarding craft with mechanical membrane wings, able to operate both in the air and on the water. It is built to get close and make that someone else’s problem. Crews who fly one tend to be proud of that. Everyone else gives them a wide berth and hopes they keep going.
