'''GTVA Colossus''' is a spacecraft from the video game [[Freespace 2]].

The result of a joint Terran-Vasudan venture, the Colossus was built with the goal of protecting the GTVA from the threat of future invasion of GTVA space, especially a renewed [[Shivan]] incursion.

A full retreat was issued, and the GTVA declared a [[state of emergency]].  Terran and Vasudan forces detonated newly developed meson bombs to destroy the Knossos subspace device that linked Gamma Draconis to the nebula in an effort to avert the coming invasion, but destroying the device had no effect on the jump node, w

The player is scrambled to defend the Bastion and reinforce its fighter escort on the last leg of its run toward the node.  The arrival of the Bastion at the node successfully seals off the subspace link between Capella and Epsilon Pegasi, preceding the final Shivan-induced supernova of the Capella star.
