Meanwhile, in forming Leviathan's crew/supporting characters, I ended up putting more and more effort into developing this original alien character who would become Xoes. It started with design and backstory, and grew into a lot world building for their species and homeworld.

So, I teased how the main character of this has changed a while ago. Originally, I went into this with the idea that Captain Androx would be the lead because, well, he's the captain. But at the same time, Androx is sort of a pseudo-self insert character. He's literally my character toon in STO.

Long time no post, I know. I'm still poking at this when I have time. I've made some changes, though, the biggest being the main character is no longer the captain. More details soon! In the mean time, here's some awesome artwork by @foodcu-be.bsky.social meet Ensign Altaya Xoes

the character is a tall, buff woman in a Starfleet uniform (from Star Trek Online) with short dark hair, red skin, horns, and a barbed tail. the character's appearance was heavily inspired by the Tieflings of Dungeons and Dragons.

Leviathan's new bridge was an update on the original design. It was made with greater modularity in mind and was more secure by moving the transporter pad. This bridge layout proved to be very successful aboard Leviathan and would be the template used for the Yorktown and Lexington subclasses.

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.

Equipping the Odyssey with increase shuttle and fighter capacity was in response to the Klingon Empire launching their new Vo’quv class carrier.

This allowed the Block III to carry a greater compliment of auxiliary craft than even the Block I Odyssey-class, which featured a third shuttle bay at the aft section of the secondary hull. The Block II Odyssey replaced the third shuttle bay for the Aquarius docking slip.

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.

Leviathan wouldn't launch again until early 2409, under the command of newly promoted Captain Settev Androx. (4/4)

Not only did Leviathan take severe damage, but also suffered critical personnel losses, including its captain and several of its senior staff. Leviathan managed to limp to the nearest starbase and later moved to drydock for repairs and refitting. (3/4)

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)

The conflict soon spilled over to the surrounding regions. The Nausicaans and Letheans allied with the Gorn, the Orion Syndicate with J'mpok. By 2405, the Hegemony surrenders to the Empire, where several Gorn leaders are revealed to actually be Species 8472. (3/5)

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)

Most Odysseys featured a docking slip in their aft hull designed to accommodate one. The Aquarius was often used for escort missions, reconnaissance, and other missions not suitable for a shuttle or runabout. USS Nautilus (NCC-96047) was the one assigned to Leviathan. (2/2)

Starship Leviathan @ussleviathan.bsky.social · 27/04/2024

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.

Following it's launch in 2403, Leviathan would spend much of the next several years exploring the B'tran Cluster, a region of space in the Beta Quadrant that, at that time, had been largely unexplored by the both the Federation and Klingon Empire.

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
