(Farscape) Why are Leviathans not at all militarized?

[Agent23]

Talyn bonded with Stark as his 'pilot'. Let me put that into perspective. Stark! The raving psychotic nut job who is 3 fries short of a happy meal and prone to psychotic breaks from reality. This is ontop of Talyn not having a happy childhood, which is putting it mildly. Such as learning he was a pregnancy forced on his mother, he is different from other Leviathans and considered an abomination by them and thus rejected by hid people. He's had multiple traumatizing incidents such as a being eaten from within by some sort of internal parasites, to actually being eaten by a Budong. Multiple engagements with hostile alien races and so much more. Oh and with all that, he was being actively hunted by the Peacekeepers. Thus putting his mother in danger every time they linked up. A fact he was acutely aware of.
His first parental figure who actually understood him was a racist, xenophobe and sociopath for a Captain in Crais. Sure Crais mellowed our towards the end but he left an imprint on Talayn which did not mellow with time and only got worse.

Given all that. Is it any wonder Talyn had a few screws loose?

That and Crais was hardly the best father figure.

Well, did he need lobotomizing?

Talyns condition deteriorated so badly that they actively sought our PK help for him. Its literally one of the main reasons John Chricton surrendered to the PKs and made his deal with them. His wormhole knowledge for help for Talyn. Chricton didn't do this for Talyn bur for Moya.

I mean in EU materials.
The wiki lists this.

Later, Talyn briefly appeared: alive and well, much bigger, in an alternate dimension, and with three main cannons. He was named Lo La by that dimension's version of Ka D'Argo. Talyn helped John meet that dimension's version of Aeryn, setting straight her confusion by shooting through Grazya's command carrier. Having D'Argo as his captain allowed Talyn much greater stability than he had with Bialar Crais, as that dimension's version of Crais was killed when Moya was only two months pregnant with Talyn.

Talyn was cool. It was mistake to kill him off. But man, what a way to go.

The side fluff from the comics and the like is not very well known by most people.
I don't think the majority of fans see if as canonic or care about it.

I didn't even known Farscape had comics. Which is surprising because I helped out at a Comic store during Farscape's TV run.

They came in much later IIRC.
