'''Moya''' is a member of the [[Leviathan (Farscape)|Leviathan]] race created by the [[Builders (Farscape)|Builders]]. When they are young, a [[Leviathan (Farscape)|Leviathan]] is bonded with a [[Pilot (Race) (Farscape)|Pilot]], who serves as the [[Leviathan (Farscape)|Leviathan]]'s navigator, operator, companion, and link to the crew of the ship. [[Leviathan (Farscape)|Leviathan]] are ships of peace, and as such have no offensive capabilities. They do have an impressive defensive maneuver, however, called [[Starburst (Farscape)|Starburst]], which allows the ship to travel at incredible speed through a tear in space-time.

Moya was once a captive of the [[Peacekeeper (Farscape)|Peacekeepers]] who sought to control her and other Leviathans through the use of giant control collars placed around the ships to subdue them. Moya and Pilot, with the help of [[John Crichton|Crichton]], [[Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan|Zhaan]], and [[Ka D'Argo|D'Argo]], managed to escape.

Moya has become a friend and home to her crew and they have been through many bizarre, disheartening, and exhilarating events together.

It isn't clear how big Moya is, but it seems to take at least a minute or two to walk from one location to another. Even running, it takes at least 30 seconds to get from the command deck to Pilot's den. One novel describes Moya as being the size of [[Manhattan]] island, but this may not be [[canon (fiction)|canon]]. At the [[Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame]] in [[Seattle, Washington]], Moya's length is listed at 1.5 kilometers.

Moya is maintained by [[DRDs]] (Diagnostic Repair Drones), small, beetle-like robots.

{{spoiler}}

At the end of season one, Moya gave birth to a [[Peacekeeper (Farscape)|Peacekeeper]]/[[Leviathan (Farscape)|Leviathan]] hybrid gunship that [[Aeryn Sun]] named [[Talyn]], after her father.
