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

Nevertheless, the NTF fleet has been shattered during this exodus, and Allied Command declared victory over the NTF insurgency.  The Colossus proved invaluable in breaking the stalemate against the NTF, and secured final victory for the Alliance.  With the Colossus, the GTVA was confident that they had nothing more to fear.

The first such juggernaut, designated [[SJ Sathanas]], was first encountered in 2367 in the Shivan-controlled nebula. A Vasudan strike force had just finished eliminating a Shivan gas mining operation when the Sathanas jumped into the system, destroying the GVCv Tatenen in a matter of seconds with its powerful forward beams (The Fog of War).  A full retreat was issued, and the GTVA declared a [[state of emergency]].

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.
