These are the ships which carried the chosen humans around the world during 2013 when the Inisfreeans were cleaning it up for their species’ fresh start.

Introduction:
The largest ships to ever be built or sail the Earth, these six carried all of humanity from where the chosen were gathered in China… back around the globe to Greenland, and back around the globe once more to their final destinations at the new coastlines where their lengthy convoys took them inland to a wholly changed face of the world. Though the original Ark is largely considered mythological and regional, these ships are unarguably actual Arks and on the most global of scales.
*Ships were necessary when worthy bodies still needed to be saved. That was back during Noah’s time. Today, they were far less necessary, and much more of an option; today, it was data that needed to be saved, not so much bodies. Long before; before even the great ships like Noah’s Ark were made, it was the worlds themselves that had to be made and hollowed out to serve as Dyson Sphere-like ships ferrying the worthy.
2024 March notes: These ships ferried decent useful humans from the China facility to where the first 39 cities were allowed to be rebuilt, plus nomads to where they wanted to be dropped off.
These people were not fully attractive to Auz, just useful and tolerable enough to be allowed to not get deleted like the other ~7B+ humans.

History:
Built from 2008 to 2012, these giant ships were dismantled to help establish the 39 capital cities of the new Earth kings.

Cost:
1 aircraft carrier = $6,200,000,000
1 Leviathan = 200 carriers; $6,200,000,000 x 200 =
$1,240,000,000,000 (~1.25 trillion USD), and
$7,440,000,000,000 (~7.5 trillion USD) for 6.
The annual defense budget of the U.S.A. into 2013 was $640,000,000,000. So if it was just the U.S.A. building these six Leviathans, and they used their entire defense budget to do so, it would take them 11.6 years. The entire world’s defense spending for that year was $1,747,000,000,000. Since the entire world was working on these six Leviathans, it took them 4.3 years. The ‘misplaced’ $900,000,000,000 ‘bailout’ allotment made by the U.S.A. during 2008 actually went a lot toward the completion of one of these Leviathan ships. The U.S.A.’s annual tax revenue into 2013 was nearly $3,000,000,000,000; enough for more than two of these Leviathans. Japan‘s annual budget at that time was nearly 2 trillion USD. The following nations each had an annual budget at that time of about 1.5 trillion USD: China, Germany, France. The following nations each had an annual budget at that time of nearly 1 trillion USD: Italy, U.K., Brazil. The following nations each had an annual budget at that time of about .5 trillion USD: Spain, Australia, Russia. Since nearly every nation on Earth was contributing as much as it possibly could, in secret, of course, the funds and other resources needed to make these six Leviathans were provided over the time it took to build them at their secret facility in China; 4 years. They started building them in 2008. They finished in 2012, just months before the Inisfreeans launched their terraforming Rapture Campaign. During those remaining months, the six Leviathans were inspected, commissioned, tested, loaded, and then boarded by waves of passengers spending their last dollars on air-fare (all their other money had been turned over to the Chinese Leviathan shipwrights, as well as the Inisfreeans). This crippled the economies of nearly every nation on Earth, but that didn’t matter because 99% of their populations were already doomed. Plus, of course, the cost of not building these giant ships was the loss of the entire human race; all other costs paled in comparison.

Dimensions:
Length: (the length of 8 carriers; 8 x 1,092′) 8,736′; 1.65 miles
Width: (the width of 6 carriers; 6 x 252′) 1,512′; .28 of a mile
Height: (the height of 5 carriers; 5 x 244′) 1,220′; .23 of a mile (just under 25 stories per carrier; about 125 stories per Leviathan)
–
Weight:
1 aircraft carrier = 100,000 Tons(T) (displacement, fully loaded; air crew, fuel, etc.)
1 Leviathan = 200 carriers; 100,000T x 200 = 20,000,000T
The largest cargo/container ship of 2012 was 175,000T, so 1 Leviathan = 114.28 of those.
–
Decks:
Each Leviathan has 126 decks, counting the rooftop flight deck. 125 are enclosed decks. The lowest 25 are not for occupation or storage, but engines, etc.. The rooftop deck has three runways and four retractable air traffic control towers. Each of those runways is 8,736′ long; enough to accommodate nearly any aircraft in the world, including the international wide-bodies (longest landing requirements are up to 10,000′, while longest take-off requirements are up to 13,000′). The outer runways are for fighter-jets and helicopters; narrow-bodies and VTOLs. The inner runway is twice as wide as either of the outer ones, and is for cargo planes and Space shuttles, should they need to land during the terraforming (when the Inisfreeans changed the face of the Earth while also destroying all human satellites, such as the Space stations).
That leaves 100 10′-tall enclosed decks for passengers. These are the widest decks of the Leviathan. The bottom 25 have hangars for submarines, their crews, and related equipment. Each Leviathan has there 32 hangars large enough for nuclear submarines (600′ x 100′ x 120′); 16 along both long sides, each long side having two rows (one row higher than the other), each of these hangars with 8 giant spring docking clamps to prevent collisions during turbulent transport (submarines bumping into their hangar walls).
The 192 (32 x 6 Leviathans) nuclear submarines allowed are for the following nations:
- U.S.A. (50; 10 given to California, 10 given to Georgia, 10 given to Mexico, 10 given to Montana, 10 given to Texas)
- China (40)
- Russia (45; 2 given to Bulgaria, 2 given to Romania, 1 given to Ukraine)
- India (2)
- Japan (2)
- South Korea (2)
- Colombia (2)
- U.K. (6)
- France (4)
- Peru (2)
- Italy (2)
- Norway (3; 2 given to Nuuk)
- Australia (6; 2 given to New Zealand)
- Poland (2)
- Sweden
- Brazil (5; 2 given to Venezuela)
- Germany (2)
- Chile (2)
- Canada (4)
- Spain (4)
- South Africa (3; 1 given to Madagascar, 1 given to Morocco)
- Argentina (2)
- Ukraine
There are dozens of mid-sized and small hangars for all of the smaller submersibles; in between the 16 large hangars. These hangars house mini-subs and USVs.
The next 25 decks up have hangars for boats, their crews, and related equipment. This includes dozens of hangars with ceilings of 30′ (such as for LCAC-5s, which are 19’6″ off-cushion, 23’6″ on-cushion, 81′ off-cushion, 87’11” on-cushion). These hangars also house lifeboats, RHIBs, and speedboats.
The next 25 decks up have hangars for vehicles, their crews, and related equipment. This includes dozens of hangars with ceilings of 30′ (most artillery, tanks, and recovery vehicles are about 10′-tall). These hangars also house ATVs, Gibbs Aquadas, and LAVs (such as for CBRNe operations; beyond NBC).
The top 25 decks have hangars for aircraft, their crews, and related equipment. This includes 2 large hangars (>500 sqft.) with ceilings of 70′ (to accommodate even the 59’5″-tall Antonov An-225 “Mriya”/”Cossack”) and special oversized-lifts (300 sqft.). There are also dozens of hangars (the size one would find on an aircraft carrier) with ceilings of 30′ (most fighter-jets are about 15′-tall). UAVs are also housed here.
*It will be decided in a summit after The Trial whether or not the following kingdoms will be granted some of the surplus nuclear submarines: Afghanistan, Arabia, Congo, Libya, Mongolia, UAE, Tibet. Also, post-2013, it is now more accurate to call those vessels nuclear-ICBM submarines, as they are no longer powered by nuclear reactors; they just carry the same nuclear payloads.
–
Powerplant:
Dozens of engines, fail-safes, and redundancies ensure constant power for every part of a Leviathan. Leviathans also harvest energy from all of the following:
- converting sea-water
- hydroelectric
- piezoelectric/seismic; from pedestrian and vehicular traffic, as well as the rocking motion of being on the ocean
- solar
- thermal
- wind
–
Armament:
Each Leviathan has the following weapon systems to help with defense, ice-breaking (and iceberg destruction), shoreline clearing, river or lava-flow diverting, and inland recon-by-fire:
- CIWS with lasers, masers, and SAMs (4); range: 2.2 miles for the Gatling cannon
- CIWS with homing-torpedoes and SONAR weapons (4); range: 23 miles for the torpedoes
- Destroyer 5″ guns; range: 14.9 miles
- M109 Artillery 6.1″ (155mm) guns; range: 11 miles, 69 miles if rocket-assisted
- Battleship 16″ guns; range: 23.64 miles
*The heaviest firepower is arranged facing outboard from the front of each Leviathan, helping these ships to blast through icebergs and ram other large ships out of the way. Like an A-10 “Thunderbolt”/”Warthog”, it is important to note that the more large-caliber weapons fire in directions not identical to the vessel’s travel, the greater the drag increases will be, thus the more power required to maintain speeds; if all forward batteries fire, even a ship as large as a Leviathan can eventually begin to move backward even while it is set to move forward at full speed.
–
Passenger Disbursement:
1 Leviathan carries 1,000,000 humans and all of their supplies and approved belongings. Spread out across the 100 passenger decks, there are 10,000 humans per passenger deck. Each passenger deck has about one third of its area (floor-space) as living space; personal berths (bunks) / living quarters. Specifically, each passenger deck has 4,402,944 sqft. [(1,092′ x 8) x (504′ x 2)] of passenger living space; just over 440 sqft. per person, which is the size of a spacious apartment, not at all cramped like a Naval vessel’s traditional bunks.
–
Potable Water:
Dozens of desalination and reverse osmosis plants process sea- and rain-water, ensuring they are safe for human consumption. Like in an Earthship (house style), water is then used for showering, then for clothes washing, then for dish washing, then for toilets, then for crops watering, then for vehicle cleaning, then for reactor cooling, and finally for propulsion; constant re-use until it must be ejected.
–
Food:
Aeroponic and hydroponic farm modules on many decks produce enough food for a fully loaded Leviathan indefinitely; 5 lbs. of food per person per day = 5 x 1,000,000 = 5,000,000 lbs.. That’s 1,825,000,000 lbs. of food eaten by 1,000,000 humans each year. 6,000 lbs. of food are produced on each 1/10 of an acre per year; 6,000 lbs. in 4,356 sqft. (66’x66′; 1 pixel on the Inisfree map). 30,417 acres produce 1,825,000,000 lbs. of food per year; that’s 1,324,960,000 sqft.. Each of the wide decks measures 8,736′ x 1,512′; 13,208,832 sqft.. 1,324,960,000 / 13,208,832 = 100 decks; all the space on all 100 of the wide, enclosed decks would be needed. Since most of the deck space is reserved for hangars, aircraft, ships, submarines, and vehicles, and since each Leviathan is fully stocked with packaged supplies, such as bottled drinks and canned foods, and since each person has an apartment-sized room all to his- or herself, we can reduce the required crops space down by more than half, and fit all of the crops in individual garden troughs built into each passenger’s room, giving them a diet of roughly half packaged food and drinks, and half freshly grown and hand-picked food, which is nearly identical to what most Outlanders ate up until 2012, anyway; this is what they usually bought from their grocery stores.
–
Countermeasures:
Leviathans pack only human technology pre-2013; everything being developed up into the end of 2012.
- Top outside corners: “Phalanx” CIWS modified to also mount anti-missile lasers, masers, and SAMs, capable of destroying meteors before they become meteorites, as well as tephra; rock fragments and particles ejected by a volcanic eruption, such as ‘lava bombs’.
- Bottom outside corners: “Phalanx” CIWS modified as a homing-torpedo battery with SONAR weapons (underwater sonic cannons)
- Bottom outside surface: electromagnetic anti-shark nodes at even, close intervals in a honeycomb grid pattern
- heavy radiation shielding about the entire hull (even rated for gamma rays)
- ammunition wells, armories, and hospital rooms are modular and built with NORAD-style springs at their vertices, preventing jarring during potential collisions, such as with icebergs
- a hull designed with vast crumple zones much like the safety features on automobiles, making major collisions much more manageable
- and once any aircraft, ship, or vehicle is brought to the facility building these Leviathans, they are retrofitted to have full communications and sensor packages; olfactory, RADAR, radio, microwave, SONAR, etc., as well as long-range locator beacons, and anti-pirate sonic cannons.
–
Capabilities:
The tallest known wave was a tsunami 1,720/+’ tall (at Gilbert Inlet, AK, on the night of July 9, 1958). This wave would pass over one of these Leviathan ships, shifting it somewhat, but would be unable to capsize or damage it; a Leviathan simply has too much tonnage, structural integrity, and stability of motion.
Each Leviathan is submersion-capable; they can become submarines. Their CDCs/CICs can tell exactly which hatches and port-holes are closed, open, locked, and unlocked, and can remotely set them to the desired settings.
When passengers or personnel are traveling inland, the shipping containers used for holding and organizing supplies can be converted into mobile- and trailer-homes.
–
Boarding:
The 6,000,000 humans approved by the Inisfreeans to be spared from their Rapture Campaign (not counting the humans kidnapped by the Inisfreeans for use in Inisfree as their Outlander kajirae) were transported to the secret Chinese base housing these six Leviathans, now completed and ready for launching, by a wide variety of aircraft and ships ranging from corporate jets and personal yachts to commercial jumbo-jets, MAC cargo planes, aircraft carriers, and cargo/container ships. All flights and ship-rides to this Chinese base were one-way; the jet and ships used to reach it were immediately dismantled upon landing, then used for parts and other supplies for the Leviathans, helping to expedite their reinforcing and loading. Many tons of these crafts’ repurposed parts were also kept organized in some of the shipping containers (a.k.a. Conex boxes) stowed aboard the Leviathans to be hauled off and inland for use in building the first 38 post-2013 cities (Nuuk, the 39th, was largely preserved during the terraforming).
..
2024 October notes:
- specifically designed so multiple planes and helicopters can land on them even during high seas; in case some don’t make it inside in time (before The Rapture / tidal-waves, etc., start)
- can also receive smaller vessels during sailing/storms; submarines and yachts can dock, then their docking bays un-flood themselves once closed
–
New Law:
During the cruises of these Leviathans through the oceans while the Inisfreeans were changing the face of the Earth, all human breeding was suspended; humanity would have to wait for the aftermath of The Trial at Nuuk to learn who the Inisfreeans would be approving for resumed human breeding.
The aircraft, ships, submarines, and vehicles which the Inisfreeans permitted the Outlander humans to take with them on these Leviathans had to be converted to low-pollution variants before they could return to service, which meant keeping them in dry-dock in the 38 new cities until their power-plants and exhaust ports no longer included combustion, radiation, etc..
–
Passenger Details:
Out of 7,200,000,000 humans on Earth at the time of the Inisfreean’s Rapture Campaign and subsequent terraforming, only 6,000,000 were approved for survival and relocation. That is .0008 of the world’s human population at the time. .5=50%, so .0008=.08 of 1%.
Of those 6,000,000, there were 100,001 slated to become the citizens of the 39 cities which would reboot all human civilization;
3,900,039 of that 6,000,000. 39 would become the new Outland kings, leaving 3,900,000. Thus, each of those cities would have 100,000.
It was decided that the new Earth cities would benefit most from having the full diversity of professionals, and so the first list of needed professionals was begun. The passenger populations of the Leviathan ships includes multiple professionals from each of the following job types:

*No politicians or religious people were permitted to survive, and all passengers were mind-scanned to confirm they weren’t even sleeper-cells; trained to be so clandestine that they weren’t even conscious of their secret missions. There were also no beauticians because ‘faking it’ with makeup is now a felony. Only real beauty is allowed. No more excuses, delusions, or lies will be tolerated; no more catering to weakness. Also, there were no salesmen, bankers, insurance agents, lawyers, judges, jailers, watchmakers, or jewelers. The Inisfreeans told the passengers “If you live wisely, you’ll never need those things.”

Music therapy is an allied health profession and one of the expressive therapies, consisting of a process in which a music therapist uses music and all of its facets—physical, emotional, mental, social, aesthetic, and spiritual—to help clients improve their physical and mental health. Music therapists primarily help clients improve their health in several domains, such as cognitive functioning, motor skills, emotional development, social skills, and quality of life, by using music experiences such as free improvisation, singing, and listening to, discussing, and moving to music to achieve treatment goals. It has a wide qualitative and quantitative research literature base and incorporates clinical therapy, psychotherapy, bio-musicology, musical acoustics, music theory, psycho-acoustics, embodied music cognition, aesthetics of music, sensory integration, and comparative musicology.

*Oil derricks and gasoline are banned, as are all combustion-based engines.
The crew for the Leviathans, and their vehicles, was the third list of needed professionals compiled (at least 1/MOS; 300 U.S. Army MOSs, 86 USN NECs (Navy Enlisted Classification) & 99 NODs (Naval Officer Designation), 718 USMC MOSs, and 377 USAF AFSCs (Air Force Specialty Code)). That totaled 1,580 jobs.
The grand total was 3,026/+ different jobs, each of which required at least 1 human (in each of the 39 Outlands cities) to represent them, passing on the knowledge of those professions to the rest of the people there.
With 1,000,000 passengers per ship at the start of their voyage from the Himalayas of China to Nuuk, the following passenger breakdown was decided upon:
1,000,000 / 3,026 = 330 humans per job, if evenly spread out (if each job type had the same number of professionals), which they wouldn’t be; some would be managers, while many more would be their workers, etc.. There would be 1,982 humans per job, again, only if evenly spread out amongst all the job types.
Per city (the 39 new Outlands cities), there would be 50 humans per job type; plenty for ANY city. That’s enough for overlapping shifts, flexible hours, leisure/break time, hobbies, secondary professions, etc.; great for the human spirit, innovation, invention, etc..
…
2024 January note: The ~1,000,000 mercenaries who became The 2nd Secret Army (High King Auzdein von Himmler’s pre-Rapture campaign force) largely ended up on these 6 mega-carriers (though a small number were allowed to avoid the civilization-deletion via either going into remote wildernesses or even in/near Inisfree for those first days of 2012).
1M/6 = ~166,666/Leviathan, thus ~1,666 per Leviathan floor/level.
1M/39 = ~25,641 per rebuilt city, though some chose to be nomadic/solo during/after the rebuilds.

Sailing Routes Details:
Route Labeling Convention:
Route labels for these ships’ voyages indicate the ship number (1 through 6; Leviathan 1, for example, will be L1) and the amount of carrier-prism-sized (a rectangular prism whose width, depth, and height are the same measurements as those of an aircraft carrier) sections full of supplies and passengers (200 per Leviathan). When they arrive at Nuuk, each Leviathan has 200. After Nuuk, each has 196. Then each city they establish takes 31, with the final two cities each taking 30. Thus, the following are examples of the labels for these ships for their routes’ second-legs:
- L1, 196/200
- L2, 196/200
- L3, 196/200
The third-legs will have these labels:
- L1, 165/200
- L2, 165/200
Continuing this pattern, successive legs of these ships’ voyages will be:
- L1, 134/200
- L1, 103/200
- L1, 72/200
- L1, 41/200
- L1, 10/200
Since it takes time to dismantle these ships (they are limited to 2012 human tech’), that means MULTIPLE convoys to and from their build sites, even if ALL their airplanes and vehicles are being used –while their submarines and boats just set up a cordon around the Leviathan when it is off the coast unloading all this and waiting on the convoys (remember: only the humans were reduced; the oceans are still full of advanced civilizations, such as the mer-people). After the first trip to each city-creation site, some of the vehicles and aircraft remain there to begin guard duty, air patrols, etc., and after that city’s site has been secured; all its supplies convoyed over and staged there, it keeps its share (the remainder) of the aircraft, vehicles, etc., so with each successive city the Leviathans begin to unload for, it takes them that much longer to get the same amount (31 carrier-prism-volumes) of supplies convoyed off, because they have that much/many fewer vehicles and airplanes to convoy those supplies.

Calculating ‘Universal’ Stop (In Port) Times for Each Leviathan:
- Stop 1: Nuuk. takes just a few days, and is done before the trial so people aren’t demotivated or shocked, and have time after the trial on their voyages to the new city build-sites to process what happened during the trial (unloading takes the least amount of time, because the fewest supplies are ferried off, and they are closest to an already established city which has its own vehicles to help the convoys complete the task sooner). “It looked like there was a city skyline out on the ocean; each Leviathan is as tall as the Empire State Building, and as long as eight aircraft carriers lined up end to end, and as wide as six of them side by side. Nuuk was the only city since their creation in the secret Chinese mega-factory to have all six of them together. The final two cities they would establish would each see the much smaller remains of three of these Leviathans side by side. Nuuk was the only place on Earth to see them all out in the open, anchored a few miles off shore. It was essentially a city of six million people floating in six major suburbs out on the ocean.”
- Stop 2: full crew on ea Leviathan means ea Leviathan completes the unloading and dismantling of 31 of its carrier-prism-volumes in 5.6 days. (This is because 1 carrier takes 3 years to build, and 1 year to R-COH, but if you have the personnel of 200 carriers all together working on just one carrier, it takes 1/200th that amount of time, which is 5.5 days; 1/200th of 3 years. So we can assume this estimate to be accurate: 3yrs. divided by the number of remaining carrier-prism-volume crews/vehicle-complements, which, on this stop, is 1,095days/196, which equals: 5.6 days of round-the-clock work, which is possible in shifts, and driving shifts during convoys, etc.)
- Stop 3: at stop 3, each Leviathan takes 6.6 days to unload and dismantle 31 carrier-prism-volumes (1,095/165=6.6)
- Stop 4: 8.2 days; just over one week (1,095/134=8.2)
- Stop 5: 10.6 days; just over one third of a month (1,095/103=10.6)
- Stop 6: 15.2 days; just over half a month (1,095/72=15.2)
- Stop 7: 26.7 days; just under one month (1,095/41=26.7)
- Stop 8: 109.5 days; about 3.9 months (1,095/10=109.5)
Adding Sailing Leg Times into a Leviathan Example Schedule:
Since each stop is not across an ocean, but along coastlines, each separated by about 1,000 miles, we know that it will take about a week of sailing from one anchor-point to the next (because the Atlantic is about 3,000 miles wide, and sailing that distance in a cargo ship takes about 20 days). So, if each ship had the same travel time between anchor-points (which they won’t, of course), their schedule might look like this:
- Chinese mega-hangar with all six Leviathans… to Stop 1; Nuuk: 120-ish days
- Dock at Nuuk: 7 days; 3 to unload, 1 for the trial, 3 to reload whoever will be sailing to the new city build sites
- Sail to Stop 2: 7 days
- Dock at stop 2 and unload: 5.6 days
- Sail to Stop 3: 7 days
- Dock at stop 3 and unload: 6.6 days
- Sail to Stop 4: 7 days
- Dock at stop 4 and unload: 8.2 days
- Sail to Stop 5: 7 days
- Dock at stop 5 and unload: 10.6 days
- Sail to Stop 6: 7 days
- Dock at stop 6 and unload: 15.2 days
- Sail to Stop 7: 7 days
- Dock at stop 7 and unload: 26.7 days
- Sail to Stop 8: 7 days
- Dock at Stop 8 and unload: 109.5 days
Thus, the total journey for this example Leviathan is: 358.4 days [120 + (7 x 8) + 5.6 + 6.6 + 8.2 + 10.6 + 15.2 + 26.7 + 109.5], which is about one week shy of a full year.
Calculating Sailing and Driving Times:
Sailing from China to Nuuk means covering about 8,350 miles. 1,000 miles takes about 2 days to sail in these vessels; 480 miles/day; 20mph. So divide all distances below by 480 to get how many days it takes to sail those distances.
Driving times are at 60mph, not 20mph, so divide distances by 1,440 (miles/day when traveling at 60mph), *but since the convoys are so massive and long (multiple carriers worth of vehicles all constantly loading up, driving out, unloading, etc., it doesn’t matter if there is a half-day’s drive between their anchor-points and their city-sites, for the convoy will begin to loop well before all the vehicles are off for all those dozens of carrier-prism-volumes).

- (still docked at Calgary/BOZEMAN anchorpoint): 6.6d (could unload at same time as the Calgary unloading, but that would double the time allotted for that unloading, so unload back to back; Calgary convoys first, then Bozeman)
- Sail to LOS ANGELES anchorpoint: 2d (0d driving time, because new LA is still on a coastline) 970 miles
- Dock at LOS ANGELES anchorpoint: 8.2d

Journey Duration Totals per Leviathan:
- 215.8 days
- 214 days
- 214 days
- 220.2 days
- 235.1 days
- 225.7 days
Group 1, which meets up at Santiago, has Leviathan 1 taking the longest, by 1.8 days, so it leaves 1.8 days before Leviathan 2, and Leviathan 3.
Group 2, which meets up at Wellington, has Leviathan 5 taking the longest, by 14.9 days, so it leaves 14.9 days before Leviathan 4, and 9.4 days before Leviathan 6.
So the launch sequence from Nuuk is as follows:
- Leviathans 1 and 5 leave at the same time.
- 1.8 days later, Leviathans 2 and 3 leave.
- 7.6 days later, Leviathan 6 leaves.
- 5.5 days later, Leviathan 4 is the last to leave.
216 days from the launch, Santiago reconstruction has begun, where the remains of Leviathans 1-3 have now converged.
236 days from the launch, Wellington reconstruction has begun, where the remains of Leviathans 4-6 have now converged.
So all 39 Outlands cities, kings, and kingdoms are established/started within one Earth-year’s time.
