We Need More Leviathans

The Zerg's military strength was mainly concentrated in three star systems containing stargates.

Having discovered that their enemy apparently could not use the spirit realm for instantaneous travel as they could, the Zerg gave up on retaking those lost "God-Expelled Lands" and instead focused on defending the star systems with stargates.

This was to prevent the enemy from using the stargates to invade Zerg territory within the Gate World.

Once the enemy invaded, it would deal a crushing blow to the Zerg's strength. A civilization's combat power was directly tied to its productivity; the greater its productivity, the stronger the civilization.

And productivity could not exist without material as its medium. There always had to be a place where productivity could be put to use. In human society, such a place was called a factory, while among the Zerg, it was called a hive.

In other words, the number of hive planets was tied to the strength of Zerg civilization. If they were all destroyed by the enemy, the Zerg's productivity would collapse as well.

Therefore, the Zerg absolutely could not allow the enemy to seize control of the stargates from them! Beyond those stargates lay the Zerg's long-developed heartland!

Batch after batch of Leviathans entered the spirit realm from the "God-Expelled Lands" not yet attacked by the Collectors and from Zerg territory within the Gate World, arriving in these frontline star systems to battle the leaping organisms that had crossed light-years to reach them.

Leviathans capable of using the spirit realm erased their disadvantage in large-scale warfare through jumps, preventing them from being utterly crushed as they had been in the Kes home star system.

The swarms of leaping organisms, roughly equal in number to the Leviathans, gained no advantage against the Zerg. After a bitter struggle, they had
