The ''Leviathan-Prime'' was heavily armed. Prior to its destruction the ''Leviathan-Prime'' inflicted massive losses on the naval assets of the Homeworld Clans. During its first combat the ''Zalman'' was able to destroy the majority of the Diamond Shark's Black Diamond Naval Star. The CDS ''[[Bloodletter]]'' and ''[[Predator (Lola III)|Predator]]'' were destroyed in a single pass, and two more WarShips were destroyed before the ''[[Swift Strike (Fredasa)|Swift Strike]]'' jumped away.<ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 51</ref> Shortly thereafter, the ''Zalman'' attacked [[Lum]], a [[Clan Snow Raven]] holding defended by a force that consisted of the Circe Battle Star and survivors of the Brim Naval Assault Star.
