Leviathan Submersible Carrier

Produced in the years before the rise of the Rebellion, this Tirsa-produced vessel was found in many private armies around the galaxy. It was developed as a sea-going base of fighter operation, thus being immune to hit and run raids. It could also travel underwater.

The hull was originally designed to carry landspeeders which were often osed in ground battles, but it became the custom to upgrade leviathans into being able to carring starfighters instead, and could carry an entire squadron. It also had repair space and, og course, a launch area.

The leviathan carrier was very vulnerable to orbital fire and was also very difficult to transport from planet to planet, and thus it very quickly fell out of use and became outdated. It was primarily used by local authorities, in private armies and by the Rebel Alliance.
