Revision 13540675 of "GTVA Colossus" on enwiki

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

The result of a joint Terran-Vasudan venture, with the goal of protecting the GTVA from a renewed [[Shivan]] threat.

Following the destruction of the SD [[Lucifer]] as it was en-route to destroy the Earth, the Vasudan Emperor Khonsu II proposed to the GTVA General Assembly the construction of the Colossus. Taking over 20 years to construct, the Colossus is over 6km long and holds a crew complement in excess of 30,000. It is the largest spacefaring vessel ever to be constructed. The vessel is destroyed in during the course of the game - though the player is able to affect how and when it is destroyed.

The Colossus is armed with Twelve (12) Heavy Beam Cannons, Forty-Five (45) Laser Turrets, Twelve (12) Missile Towers, and Fifteen (15) Flak Cannons.  It can carry up to Sixty (60) fighter and bomber wings within its docking bays, and this translates to (approximately) 240 craft.  Estimates place the total ability of the Colossus as equal to five (5) Orion class Destroyers, one of the primary vessels of the GTVA.
