    It’s tough to say, Nessus in reality is only about 60 KM, give or take 16, in diameter, which would likely make the Leviathan’s maw fairly small, probably somewhere in the 100-150 KM range if I were to guess based on concept art. Calculations on reddit put the Dreadnaught at approximately the size of our moon, so I’d say it really depends on the unseen portion of the Leviathan. Does it have a “tail” like the creatures seen in the collectors edition postcards? Does it have a stunted aft? It’s hard to say without a full profile of the ship. At this time I still suspect that the Dreadnaught is the largest vessel in Sci-Fi

    The Leviathan isn’t very long. Here’s an early concept and the current in-game model. [spoiler] https://www.artstation.com/artwork/q5vwa[/spoiler]

  • Thanks for that, didn’t know this was out there. The Dreadnaught is definitely the larger ship then

    No problem. I’d suggest checking out the rest of the page, many of the scrapped ideas are very interesting, and all of it is very high quality.

  • Leviathan is larger, according to my analysis.

  • If you look at Nessus (very tiny compared to Saturn) and Saturn, if appears the the Dreadnaught is bigger than the Leviathan, and also the inside of the dreadnaught, it's the size of our solar system!

  • The dreadnaught is certainly bigger than all of the accessible portions of the leviathan, but we must remember, what is accessible is the "tiny" portion of buildings on the top of the ship, which is actually a giant city. Ergo, the leviathan as a whole is bigger than the dreadnaught. (Although if we include the expansiveness of oryx's throne world with the dreadnaught then the dreadnaught is bigger because it'd literally be housing an entirely different plane of reality.)

  • Clearly the dreadnought based on how much more playable content it has

  • This is a good question. They have to be pretty close in size, given how big the leviathan looks from Nessus and the size of the dreadnaught in comparison to Saturn's rings they have to be about the same size. Just massive ships

  • Take note that Nessus is only 60 KM in real life

  • Leviathan is a pale shadow of the Dreadnaught... it's obvious when you are in the raid and even more obvious because D2 < D1.
