'''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)sch, 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 several GTVA-held systems and jump nodes, though losing more ships along the way (The King's Gambit, The Sicilian Defense)

The Colossus picked off straggling NTF warships and made an attempt to blockade Bosch's flagship, the 
[[NTF Iceni]], at the Knossos.  However, NTF saboteurs (though some speculate that they may have been GTVI operatives) onboard disabled the Colossus's forward beam weapons, allowing the Iceni to escape into the Shivan-infested nebula beyond the portal (Endgame)

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.
