Leviathan's new bridge was an update on the original design. It was made with greater modularity in mind and was more secure by moving the transporter pad. This bridge layout proved to be very successful aboard Leviathan and would be the template used for the Yorktown and Lexington subclasses.

Equipping the Odyssey with increase shuttle and fighter capacity was in response to the Klingon Empire launching their new Vo’quv class carrier.

This allowed the Block III to carry a greater compliment of auxiliary craft than even the Block I Odyssey-class, which featured a third shuttle bay at the aft section of the secondary hull. The Block II Odyssey replaced the third shuttle bay for the Aquarius docking slip.

I do eventually want to make youtube content for this as well, though it'll probably go on my current YT channel.

A friend showed me a site he uses to post fanfics, so I'm gonna try posting short stories for and related to Leviathan there. I also want to build a small wiki site as an alternative to those world building tweets I'd been doing, still gotta figure out how to do that though.

Leviathan wouldn't launch again until early 2409, under the command of newly promoted Captain Settev Androx. (4/4)

Not only did Leviathan take severe damage, but also suffered critical personnel losses, including its captain and several of its senior staff. Leviathan managed to limp to the nearest starbase and later moved to drydock for repairs and refitting. (3/4)

The Klingons ordered Leviathan's crew to submit to search for 8472 infiltrators. When Leviathan's captain refused, battle commenced. Despite being outnumbered, Leviathan managed to fight off the attacking Klingons, but at very high cost. (2/4)

Note: Much of this is inspired early Star Trek Online lore, but with alterations to fit into existing Star Trek canon

The following year, J'mpok invoked ancient claims on the Archanis Sector, much like Gowron did in their last war with the UFP, and ordered the expulsion of all Federation citizens. Later that year, war was officially declared on the Federation when the KDF invaded Archanis. (5/5)

Tensions continued to grow between the Federation and Klingons. The Federation thought the Empire were being far too aggressive, the Empire though the Federation wasn't doing nearly enough to fight 8472. The Khitomer Accords would be dissolved later that year. (4/5)

The conflict soon spilled over to the surrounding regions. The Nausicaans and Letheans allied with the Gorn, the Orion Syndicate with J'mpok. By 2405, the Hegemony surrenders to the Empire, where several Gorn leaders are revealed to actually be Species 8472. (3/5)

The Klingons claimed that Gorn leadership had been infiltrated by alien shapeshifters. However, the Federation condemned the war for insufficient evidence and many on the Federation Council noted how the Klingons used the same reasoning to start the Cardassian war in 2372. (2/5)
