Leviathan Battleship

The Leviathan Battleship is a Leviathan from Phaaze. It appears in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, where Space Pirates under Dark Samus' control have outfitted it with their technology to turn it into her flagship. 
==Description==
According to the Metroid Prime Trilogy art booklet and Space Pirate Data, some time after Dark Samus spontaneously left the Colossus, she encountered a Leviathan during her search for Phaaze. Once she infected it with her particular strain of Phazon, she had the creature open a wormhole as a shortcut to reach her destination. After that, she took the Leviathan back to where she left the Colossus and ordered the Pirates to follow her through her second trip to Phaaze. After reaching the planet, the Colossus' crew began installing cybernetic weapons, crew quarters and command consoles into the Leviathan to make it a suitable flagship for her.
Samus Aran finds the Leviathan Battleship in orbit around the Pirate Homeworld, and boards it using a Warp Site in order to gain control of it on the Galactic Federation's behalf. If Samus boards the Leviathan before having fully explored the G.F.S. Valhalla, Aurora Unit 242 tells her that a Pirate Code is needed to give the Federation gain access to the creature. 242 advises her to investigate the Valhalla for any clues that are left behind by the Pirate raid. Having acquired the code, she inserts it into the command console inside the creature's skull to gain control of the Leviathan.
Later on, this battleship is seen under the command by Fleet Admiral Castor Dane of the Galactic Federation, who uses it to warp the G.F.S. Olympus and a supporting fleet to Phaaze. Its last act is to open a wormhole which the Federation uses to escape. The fleet purposely leaves the Leviathan Battleship behind to be destroyed just as Phaaze explodes. It is last seen disintegrating along with all other Phazon in the universe.

==Development notes==
The room's internal name is 00_pirate_seedcontrol. The keyword pirate indicates the Pirate Homeworld, and the prefix 00 indicates that this is a utility room.
==Trivia==
*Inside the ship, there are what the Scan Visor reveals to be optical sensors highly susceptible to weapons fire. When they are shot, they closed and the room rumbles. If Samus shoots them at least 60 times, a Friend Voucher called "Leviathan Humiliated" will be awarded.
*It is impossible to determine where this Leviathan was originally headed, since Dark Samus stopped the creature in its tracks and stopped it from reaching the planet that it was meant to land on.
*The theme that plays when Samus boards the Battleship is Phazon Area, originally used in Metroid Prime for level 3 of the Phazon Mines. The theme also plays on the first visit to Corrupted Pool and a remix plays in each Leviathan Seed.
*The Phazon Core of the Leviathan can be seen in the room that Samus is teleported into. According to the Space Pirate Data log titled "The Leviathan", the room is located within the creature's skull, suggesting Phazon Cores are nestled near the brains of their respective Leviathans.
