The hapless species caught by Leviathan are then herded into habitat zones.

Leviathan Had Deep Ties toStar TrekLore–Maybe
Are V’Ger and Leviathan “Brothers?”
Seenonly inStar Trek: The Motion Picture, this entity was once a lowlyVoyagerprobe.
After being lost, it discovered a planet of machines, who saw in the probe a kindred spirit.
They built a massive vessel to allowVoyagerto complete its mission and return home.
The movie ends with Captain Will Decker and Ilia merging into VGer and departing this plane of existence.
However, whatever connection existed between VGer and Leviathan is never explained.
It is possible that Leviathan also hailed from the machine planet that created VGer.
However, it does raise questions of its own, such as which came first.
Another possibility, even more fascinating, is that Leviathan was an actual inhabitant of VGers machine world.
VGer was merely a construct created by the machines, but Leviathan could potentially be one of them.
If so, they may be the most powerful alien race in the entireStar Trekuniverse.
It introduced a powerful new alien to the mythos, one with deep ties to franchise lore.
If done correctly, Leviathan could be an impressive sight on-screen and a worthy villain for Starfleet.
