<Startup>|<Post>|<Category:Lore> <INITIATE> Welcome to a mini-seri~!#O-es... oh dear. Hold on... OK. Welcome to a mini-series I call "Rough Estimates". It's where I take some numbers from either real life or another source and apply them to Destiny. This includes a shit-ton of rounding because I'm shite at math. Right now we're going to look at the size of the Leviathan. Many people are under the belief that the Leviathan is bigger than the Almighty or the Dreadnaught. This isn't true... but it IS big enough to explore, just like Nessus. So, in order to find its rough size, we need to find out how big Nessus is. Nessus in real life is around 60km diameter (and that's all we're going to base it off of until Bungie releases an exact size). So, I then went in to find out how big it is in-game compared to the Leviathan. https://i.imgur.com/1NvKr1N.jpg Taken from the Traveler's Dream cutscene at the start of Adieu. https://i.imgur.com/cFFDMyd.jpg Taken from the starting point of the Leviathan Raid. What's shown in the bottom left of the drawn picture is the estimated size of Nessus compared to the Leviathan's maw. Now, I'm not the best at drawing the Leviathan, so everything when it comes to the Leviathan is shorter than it really is. Do you know who is good at making the Leviathan? The damn guy who actually made it. https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/007/419/941/large/dorje-bellbrook-db-destiny2-032.jpg?1506011056 by Dorje Bellbrook* So, just imagine every instance of the Leviathan outside of the very front to be in accordance with the drawing. Actually, you don't have to. Some simple editing allowed me to do this. https://i.imgur.com/zvSOiZQ.jpg So, the Leviathan (using Bellbrook's model and not the drawing I made) is over 1000 kilometers long. Earth's Moon is 3,474 kilometers in diameter (rounded to 3,500 in the drawing). To compare with other massive ships in the Destiny universe, it would be smaller than the Almighty (compared to Mercury in the end cutscene), which is a tad bit smaller than the Dreadnaught (which is estimated to be around 3,500 kilometers not including the spikes at the ends of the ship). However, none of those compare to what's in part 2. Also, the Traveler is around 14 kilometers as said in this picture. https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RHnyj6xEClo/WcQNYYodE2I/AAAAAAAABuI/3sGdHF2SKvQ63rPsQNQ5JrrFEDKNqxMIACLcBGAs/s1600/db_Destiny2_182.jpg So, that's it. *Check him out here because the concept art he did for this game is -blam!-ing awesome.
