Leviathan (Event)

This is a PvP, PvE cross server event that allows you to build tier 3 powerful alien ships.

**PvE:** Attack the alien structure (Ring world, Portal, Core system) guided by Leviathan ship to take over the systems, alliance that occupied the alien structure during the closing stage will be able to use the Leviathan shipyard to build the Leviathan ships.

**PvP**: Destroy player fleets to collect Kabbalah Particles(not shared) needed to build the leviathan ships.

The event is divided up into three stages.

## Preparation Stage (2 Days)

This just gives players a chance to see what the rules are and understand what the map looks like, there is not much significance to it.

## Engagement Stage (1 Day)

You'll only be able to take one fleet into these systems.

Take over the systems, similar to attacking a sector capital, each alliance is limited to 3 systems.

Once the center core system has been taken and held for 6 hours, the engagement stage will end. If the core system change hands the 6 hours held time reset.

In order to occupy center core system, player's alliance must also occupied and held one of the portal at the hub system, losing the portal will cause losing the holding state of center core system.

## Closing Stage

Once the core has been taken, engagement stage will end after 6 hours. From here, you have 3 days to collect the Kabbalah Particles and build Leviathan ships.

## Getting Kabbalah Particles

There are three ways to get the particles, described in more detail below:

### Occupying one of the structures

This will give a fixed amount to all alliance members once a day for each structure they occupy

### Fight the Leviathan fleets

You can fight these leviathan fleets for particles, you'll get 200-300 for each fleet. If you fight this with multiple player fleets, the amount of particles will be divided based on the amount of damage you deal.

### Destroy other players fleets

*Main article: Ship trading#Leviathan ship trading*

This is the most effective way to get particles. The widely accepted strategy is to "trade" fleets. Below is generally how the process works:

1. Message in global chat asking if anyone wants to trade fleets.
2. Agree on the amount you're trading. The most common is a 50k fleet, or 50 destroyers
3. Post a location in the Leviathan systems and send your small fleet there.
4. The other player will destroy that fleet with their big main fleet, then recall it.
5. The other player will send their equivalent small fleet to the same location.
6. You send your big main fleet to destroy it.

## Building Conditions

In order to be able to use the alliance occupied Leviathan shipyard, player must be member of the alliance for min. 3 days.

There are 4 kinds of leviathan ships, considered the tier 3 version of: Destroyer, Cruiser, Battleship and Dreadnought

Occupying an outer system (Ring world):

* The system that has no linkage to hub system, allows you to build Physeter (T3 Destroyer)
* The system that has passage way linked to hub system, allows you to build Physeter (T3 Destroyer) and Orcinus (T3 Cruiser)

Occupying a hub system (Portal):

* Allows you to build Physeter (T3 Destroyer) Orcinus (T3 Cruiser) and Eschrichtius (T3 Battleship)

Occupying a core system:

* Allows you to build Physeter (T3 Destroyer) Orcinus (T3 Cruiser), Eschrichtius (T3 Battleship) and Balaenoptera (T3 Dreadnought)

### Extra Considerations

* It is common that the bigger alliances will make agreements and plan out which systems they are taking to avoid unnecessary fighting.
* Sometimes, alliances will agree to rotate who gets to own the core, to make it fairer to smaller alliances.
* Sometimes, the big alliances will temporarily invite members other small alliances so they can benefit and build ships as well.
* Ensure you stock up enough Shipbuilding Speed Up and resource required for the Leviathan ship building during the closing stage, as Perks/Bonus from Leader/Capital will not applied to Leviathan shipyard.
