'''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.

The ploy was successful, and when the Repulse came to the aid of the cruiser group, the Colossus jumped in to engage the Repulse.  With the escape route to Polaris blockaded, Admiral Koth attempted to ram the Colossus with the Repulse, in an effort to take down the Allied battleship.  Sacrificing the 10,000+ crew aboard his Orion-class destroyer, Koth's gambit inflicted only minor damage against the Colossus, whose multiple beam cannons

== NTF Insurgency ==
Subsequently, the Colossus was sent on the offensive in the NTF-held systems of Polaris, Sirius, and Regulus, smashing through rebel defense fleets and destroying multiple NTF capital ships.  Admiral Aken Bosch, leader of the NTF, abandoned these strongholds and ordered a massive exodus of all remaining rebel ships to the Knossos Portal in Gamma Draconis and into the nebula beyond.  Evading the Colossus and its battle group in Regulus, NTF warships made a daring escape through severa(contracted; show full)w and twenty years of Terran-Vasudan engineering.  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.
