Information

The Bulk Cruiser has been around since the time of the Old Republic. These aging, but reliable ships have been in service with the fleets of both sides of the Galactic Civil War, although it was more of a mainstay of the Rebel fleet, and also served with many private organizations. Equipped with impressive firepower and shielding, these vessels can stand toe-to-toe with more modern ships and come out on top. Easily upgradeable, these ships are perfect for almost any type of operation.

History

This behemoth was obtained by Clan Taldryan in the Capital Gains competition. Taldryan beat out all the other Clans to place first in this competition, and was thus rewarded with three ships. The Leviathan is the most important of the three. Equipped with impressive firepower and shielding, this vessel can stand toe-to-toe with most modern ships and come out on top.

Being one of the classic ships of Taldryan, its loss in the Battle of Antei after the Autarch explosion was heavily felt.
