not just because Xoes is so much more developed, but because Androx literally represents the player character in STO, something anyone who has played the game has already experienced. Putting Xoes in the forefront gives me the chance to reframe those stories from a totally different perspective.

Starship Leviathan @ussleviathan.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

While talking about the project with a friend, after seeing how much more developed Xoes was compared to all the other characters (even Androx), they asked why she isn't the main character. It was something I hadn't even considered, but it made so much such sense after hearing it out loud...

Starship Leviathan @ussleviathan.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

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

character art for Altaya Xoes, an original character made by @Stu1701 for fan project Star Trek Leviathan

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.

@spaghettisauceress.bsky.social and I both have fan-ships called Michigan-class. Instead of being weird about it, we made fan-lore to justify to existence of both! 😁 1st render and concept by @andydpurromann.bsky.social & @ncc-60205.bsky.social second render by @starfleetdesign.bsky.social

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.

Starship Leviathan @ussleviathan.bsky.social · 02/11/2025

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.

050

Starship Leviathan @ussleviathan.bsky.social · 25/10/2025

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.

180

Starship Leviathan @ussleviathan.bsky.social · 25/10/2025

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.

an Ark Royal class carrier from Star Trek Online named USS Leviathan NCC-2207

I do eventually want to make youtube content for this as well, though it'll probably go on my current YT channel.

A friend showed me a site he uses to post fanfics, so I'm gonna try posting short stories for and related to Leviathan there. I also want to build a small wiki site as an alternative to those world building tweets I'd been doing, still gotta figure out how to do that though.

Starship Leviathan @ussleviathan.bsky.social · 27/12/2024

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.

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

130

Starship Leviathan @ussleviathan.bsky.social · 08/05/2024

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)

120

Starship Leviathan @ussleviathan.bsky.social · 08/05/2024

The Klingons ordered Leviathan's crew to submit to search for 8472 infiltrators. When Leviathan's captain refused, battle commenced. Despite being outnumbered, Leviathan managed to fight off the attacking Klingons, but at very high cost. (2/4)

120

Starship Leviathan @ussleviathan.bsky.social · 08/05/2024

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 following year, J'mpok invoked ancient claims on the Archanis Sector, much like Gowron did in their last war with the UFP, and ordered the expulsion of all Federation citizens. Later that year, war was officially declared on the Federation when the KDF invaded Archanis. (5/5)

110

Starship Leviathan @ussleviathan.bsky.social · 28/04/2024

Tensions continued to grow between the Federation and Klingons. The Federation thought the Empire were being far too aggressive, the Empire though the Federation wasn't doing nearly enough to fight 8472. The Khitomer Accords would be dissolved later that year. (4/5)

110

Starship Leviathan @ussleviathan.bsky.social · 28/04/2024

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)

110

Starship Leviathan @ussleviathan.bsky.social · 28/04/2024

The Klingons claimed that Gorn leadership had been infiltrated by alien shapeshifters. However, the Federation condemned the war for insufficient evidence and many on the Federation Council noted how the Klingons used the same reasoning to start the Cardassian war in 2372. (2/5)

110

Starship Leviathan @ussleviathan.bsky.social · 28/04/2024

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)

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

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)

010

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)

120

Starship Leviathan @ussleviathan.bsky.social · 25/04/2024

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.

110

Starship Leviathan @ussleviathan.bsky.social · 24/04/2024

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.

010

Starship Leviathan @ussleviathan.bsky.social · 24/04/2024

Several of the Block III Odysseys would be assigned to classic five year exploratory missions, harkening back to those carried out by the Constitution-class ships of the mid-23rd century, a time widely considered to be Starfleet's golden age.

110

Starship Leviathan @ussleviathan.bsky.social · 24/04/2024

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.

100

Starship Leviathan @ussleviathan.bsky.social · 23/04/2024

The Block III Odyssey-class starships were commissioned as part of the fleet reconstruction efforts and would be the first ships of the class to have never received the Fleet Formation Mode technology. (3/3)

000

Starship Leviathan @ussleviathan.bsky.social · 23/04/2024

Fleet Formation Mode would prove to be a total disaster when the Borg used it to take control of the entire fleet present for Frontier Day, resulting in significant Federation loses. The protocol and the technology developed for it were quickly decommissioned. (2/3)

Starship Leviathan @ussleviathan.bsky.social · 23/04/2024

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)
