Moya is a character/spacecraft and a member of the Leviathan race. She had her first appearance in the “Premiere“, and was last seen in “The Peacekeeper Wars Part 2“.
Like others of her race, Moya was captured by a Peacekeeper squad at a young age and was bonded with a Pilot, who serves as the Leviathan’s navigator, operator, companion, and link to the crew of the ship. Leviathans are ships of peace, and as such have no offensive capabilities. They do have an impressive defensive maneuver, however, called starburst, which allows the ship to travel at incredible speed through a tear in space-time.
