Moya was 23 cycles old at the time of early season 1, making her 27-28 cycles old at the end of the The Peacekeeper Wars.
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. Moya was once a captive of the Peacekeepers who control her and other Leviathans through the use of giant control collars placed around the ships that prevent autonomous control and inflict pain with disobedience. Moya and Pilot, with the help of Crichton, Zhaan, Rygel and D'Argo, manage to escape. Moya has become a friend and home to her crew and they have been through many bizarre, disheartening, and exhilarating events together. Indeed, on one occasion, when Crichton was asked why the crew were fighting so hard to save Moya, Crichton compared Moya to a mother, as she 'gave birth' to all of them by bringing them together and giving them a home.
She has given birth to one offspring. A male by the name of Talyn, (chosen by Aeryn Sun after her father). Due to a genetic altering project that occured a few cycles before her escape she is capable of producing Leviathan-Gunship hybrids, of which Talyn is one of.
