My fault, I'm afraid. A shame; he's usually very clever and talkative.

Travel and warfare, primarily. Leviathans are not warships and have no weaponry, but there were efforts to produce captive Leviathan offspring: hybrids that could both perform the uniquely Leviathan trait of starburst while simultaneously carrying in-built offensive weaponry.

I was not a part of this project. My work was focused entirely on wormholes: the same objective, but with different paths.
