History

Rebuilding the Swarm

CharLeviathanDropship SC2-HotS Story1

Kerrigan approaches the leviathan

After hearing about Raynor's "execution," a bitter Kerrigan traveled to the leviathan so that she could build the Swarm into a force of vengeance against Arcturus Mengsk. On board, she met Izsha and Abathur as they explained their roles to their queen.[1][2] As Kerrigan rebuilt her forces, the leviathan took her to Kaldir, Char, and Zerus.[3][4][5]

Kerrigan later learned from Mengsk that Raynor was alive, so she took the leviathan into Dominion space.[6]

Into Dominion Space

The following section contains timeline information which isn't necessarily in chronological order.

Skygeirr

Kerrigan was contacted by Alexei Stukov to head to Skygeirr Station, a hybrid breeding site. The station was successfully destroyed.[7][8][9]

MorosHyperionLeviathan SC2-HotS Story1

The leviathan and Hyperion approaching the Moros

Kerrigan informed Raynor's forces of his survival,[10] and they were able to ascertain his location—the Moros, a prison ship. The leviathan and Hyperion ambushed the Moros while it was refueling at Atlas Station. While Kerrigan fought her way through Dominion troops, the leviathan kept sending more and more zerg into the ship to reinforce their queen. When the Moros was set on self-destruct, Kerrigan has the leviathan stabilize the part of the ship where Raynor was being held. The rescue was successful.[11]

Assault on Korhal

Kerrigan laid siege to Korhal.[12] After wiping out the Dominion forces outside Augustgrad, the leviathan was brought to the surface.[13] With the death of Mengsk and the battle's end, Kerrigan's forces returned to the leviathan and departed the planet to find and engage Amon.[14]
