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

== Background ==
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.

(contracted; show full)oenicia attacked the Sathanas in Gamma Draconis, attempting to neutralize the 4 primary beam cannons of the Shivan vessel (Bearbaiting). Though the Phoenicia was forced to retreat (sometimes, while playing the mission, it is instead destroyed) the bombing run was successful leaving the Sathanas without its main weapons, though the Shivan vessel continued its incursion into GTVA space.  

Finally, in Capella, the GTVA Colossus destroyed the SJ Sathanas (High Noon).  The Colossus sustained minor damage to it

== Destruction ==

After the Sathanas was neutralized, the GTVA returned to the nebula to continue its exploratory missions, and the Colossus returned to GTVA space for repairs to its hull.  However, while pursuing the NTF rebel leader Admiral Bosch and his command ship, the Psamtik encountered a second Knossos subspace portal in the nebula and was promptly destroyed by a new Sathanas-class juggernaut.

However, the actions of the Colossus gave enough time for the Bastion to close in on the Epilson Pegasi node.  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.
