According to Calus himself, the ship was modeled after "a mythical beast from the dreams of worms", presumably the [[Leviathan (Fundament)|Leviathan]] of [[Fundament]]. The design of the ship also appears to be based off of a "[[landwhale]]" native to the Cabal homeworld. Its original function, whether a prison barge, warship or pleasure craft, is unclear. | ||

The Leviathan's navigation system was locked onto a course that would take it far from the Cabal Empire's domain. | ||
After many centuries, the navigation system failed and the ship came to a halt; it had come upon a great expanse of utter nothingness, and could not plot a course through it. It was here that Calus claimed to have encountered something that overawed him, later revealed to be the [[Witness]] and its [[Black Fleet]], and resolved to become its herald. With the navigation system unlocked, Calus charted a course back to Cabal territory, collecting [[Shadows]] from various alien races along the way to enact his revenge against his usurpers. | |||

Wanting a Shadow to command the Hive, Calus | Wanting a Shadow to command the Hive, Calus bred [[Gahlran]] to wear a Hive artifact known as the [[Crown of Sorrow]]. However, Gahlran was driven mad by the Crown's power, as it was a trap laid by [[Savathûn, the Witch-Queen]]. Under the control of Savathûn, Gahlran summoned a massive Hive infestation, killing many Loyalists, and took control of the depths of the Leviathan's Menagerie. Now wanting his former Shadow put down, Calus called upon the Guardians once more, offering more riches and rewards upon their success. After a grueling struggle against the mad Shadow and the Hive's magic, the Guardians succeeded in killing Gahlran and retrieving the Crown. | ||
Calus later honored the Guardians with a Tribute Hall established aboard his ship, and made them an offer to become his newest Shadows. | |||

Sometime after the arrival of the [[Pyramids]] in the Sol System, the Leviathan mysteriously vanished from the orbit of Nessus. [[Osiris]] investigated its disappearance, but found nothing hinting as to why the Leviathan left or where it was headed. Logs found aboard the ''[[Glykon Volatus]]'' suggested that the Leviathan had simply hidden at some location in the System while Calus performed his experiments. | |||
In reality, after returning from the Glykon, Calus had driven the Leviathan into the anomaly left where [[Mercury]] had once been, as the [[The Witness|Voice]] had suggested through the Crown of Sorrow. Though he feared it would be torn like the Glykon, the Leviathan survived, and though it came out mutated, it was still capable of space travel.<ref>[[Duality (dungeon)|Repressed Memory 9]]</ref> | |||

Two years after its disappearance, the Leviathan returned to the [[Sol System]] in orbit of [[Luna]], having become derelict, dilapidated and heavily overgrown with [[Darkness]]-enhanced [[Egregore|flora]] similar to the ''[[Glykon Volatus]]''; the latter where Calus sacrificed countless [[Scorn]] to feed the extradimensional fungi. Calus had also forged a psychic connection from his ship to the [[Pyramid (Luna)|Lunar Pyramid]] beneath the Moon, turning the Leviathan into an extension of the dormant structure's influence and rousing the [[Nightmares]] to haunt his derelict vessel. Undead hordes of [[Scorn]] that Calus previously experimented upon would also infest the Leviathan and ally with the Loyalist Cabal. The Leviathan also changed in some yet unknown ways, as some hull parts can be found inside the ship, and Calus seems to say that now it is somehow alive. This was confirmed later by Calus when he admitted the Leviathan was once his prison, but he was now one body with the ship, able to feel the beings within the ship "wriggling through my innards". | Two years after its disappearance, the Leviathan returned to the [[Sol System]] in orbit of [[Luna]], having become derelict, dilapidated and heavily overgrown with [[Darkness]]-enhanced [[Egregore|flora]] similar to the ''[[Glykon Volatus]]''; the latter where Calus sacrificed countless [[Scorn]] to feed the extradimensional fungi.

*The Leviathan is probably not as large as it seems as the planetoid that it is swallowing, Nessus, is only about 50km in diameter. Since the Leviathan is only a little bit larger than Nessus, it's assumed the Leviathan is meant to eat moons and planetoids, instead of entire planets. Although, Nessus may have been altered as it is more spherical and has a horizon when on the surface. However it should also be noted that considering the mouth is consistently shown to be twice as large as Nessus at a bare minimum, the Leviathan would have to be at least one hundred kilometers in size. When seen again orbiting Luna, the Leviathan is nearly overlapped by the Earth's Moon, which is 3,475 km in diameter, further showcasing that the Leviathan isn't as large as initially believed. | *The Leviathan is probably not as large as it seems as the planetoid that it is swallowing, Nessus, is only about 50km in diameter.
