The '''SJ Sathanas''' is a [[Shivan]] ship from the [[computer game]] [[Freespace 2]]. It is of the juggernaut class and is over 5.5 kilometers in length.

{{spoiler}}

In Freespace 2, the SJ Sathanas was first encountered in a [[nebula]] beyond a portal found in the [[Gamma Draconis]] system, where it prompty destroyed a [[GVCv Sobek|Sobek]] class corvette. The Sathanas proceeded to destroy many GTVA ships in the nebula before emerging on the other side of the portal, invading GTVA space. After a surgical strike by a Vasudan wing to disable the main cannons, the GTVA rallied their most powerful vessel, the [[GTVA Colossus]], to destroy the juggernaut.

After their victory, the GTVA once again entered the nebula. More Sathanas Juggernauts were discovered, the first of which destroying the [[GVD Psamtik]], a [[GVD Hatshepsut|Hatshepsut]] class destroyer, and flagship of the 3rd Vasudan Battlegroup. Despite the use of the newly developed [[TC Meson Bomb|Meson Bombs]] used to destroy the [[Knossos (Freespace)|Knossos]] device, the Gamma Draconis-Nebula node had stabilised and the Sathanas fleet made its way to Capella, where they proceeded to converge around the Capella sun. Seeing they could not possibly destroy the rampaging Juggernaut fleet, the GTVA hatched a plan to seal off Capella, effectively closing the door on the Shivans. Before they were able to destroy the final link to Vega, the Juggernaut Fleet, emitting a subspace anomaly, triggered a supernova, thus destroying the Capella star. The Juggernauts, however, vanished as quickly and as mysteriously as they appeared.

----

Sathanas is the largest ship in the Shivan fleet. Like SD Ravana, Sathanas is capable of easily decimating any enemy ship with its four heavy beam cannons mounted on the four spike-like front wings. However, it also has the same weakness as Ravana; it's cannons can only fire at targets in front of it. If attacked from the rear, Sathanas is very vulnerable.
