The largest space-faring warship ever constructed by [[Terrans]] or [[Vasudans]], the '''GTVA ''Colossus''''' was the result of twenty years of joint effort from dozens of contractors from across the [[Galactic Terran-Vasudan Alliance]]. Logging in with a length of six-kilometres, this behemoth was equipped with over eighty weapon turrets, in addition to over 240 combat spacecraft.

With the offensive power that exceeded most GTVA battlegroups, the ''Colossus'' was designed to combat the [[Shivans]] upon their return to Allied territory. The prospective target was one or more ''Lucifer''-class super-destroyers, and it was deemed that the ''Colossus'' would not only have the firepower not only to destroy such a foe, but also to survive multiple hits from a ''Lucifer'''s primary weapon system.

==History==

The first combat use of the ''Colossus'' was against the [[Neo-Terran Front]]. NTF forces proved to be no match for the ''Colossus'' and her battlegroup, and the rebels made every effort to avoid direct combat with the [[juggernaut]]. It can be truthfully said that it was the ''Colossus'' that was the ultimate factor in the NTF's collapse. With his fleet shattered, and the remnants being actively pursued and destroyed by the ''Colossus'', Admiral Aken Bosch gave the order to flee GTVA space to the relative safety of the nebula beyond [[Gamma Draconis]].

With the NTF defeated, the ''Colossus'' was finally to fulfil the role her designers had envisioned for her: the defeat of a Shivan incursion. However, as it turned out, the challenge was not to be ''Lucifer''-class super-destroyers, but rather a [[Sathanas-class juggernaut]]. Twenty-years of constant struggle finally culminated with the ''Colossus'''s destruction of the [[SJ ''Sathanas'']], all at the cost of moderate damage to the Colossus.

All would have been well was it not for the [[Shivans]] possessing multiple juggernauts. In the closing stages of the Battle of [[Capella]], the ''Colossus'' was deployed to interdict Shivan traffic at the [[Gamma Draconis]] jump node in [[Capella]] to divert enemy forces and attention away from the [[GTD ''Bastion'']], which was en route to collapse the jump corridor to [[Epsilon Pegasi]]. The ploy succeeded, as the [[Shivans]] first deployed an [[SD ''Ravana'']], then a ''Sathanas'' to engage the ''Colossus''. In her weakened state, it was obvious that the ''Colossus'' would not survive an engagement with another ''Sathanas''-class juggernaut, and Allied Command ordered the ''Colossus'' to withdraw.

However, with the success of the ''Bastion'''s critical mission in doubt, the ''Colossus'' disobeyed the direct order from Allied Command, and refused to disengage. Subsequently, the ''Colossus'' was destroyed with the loss of all hands. The thirty-thousand officers and crew of the ''Colossus'' willingly sacrificed themselves to ensure the continued survival of the billions of individuals making up the Terran and Vasudan species, and ultimately, the
[[Galactic Terran-Vasudan Alliance]].

==Victims of the Colossus==
*NTCv ''Hawkwood'' (Destroyed at Enif Station)
*NTD ''Repulse'' (Admiral Koth's flagship. Kamikaze attacked the Colossus)
*NTD ''Andronius'' (Reported destroyed in Command Briefing)
*NTC ''Camisard'' (Reported destroyed in Command Briefing)
*SJ ''Sathanas'' (First, High Noon mission)
*SD ''Beast'' (Destroyed shortly before the second Shivan juggernaut destroyed the Colossus)

==Quotes==
"This is the GTVA ''Colossus''. Fighters, stand clear of hostile warships. All batteries, fire at will!"

"This is the GTVA ''Colossus''. Admiral Koth, you are ordered to power down your engines immediately and surrender. The Polaris jump node is blockaded, there is no escape."

"You are sacrificing thousands of lives for nothing!"

"If only Koth had surrendered rather than playing Martyr, his crew would still be alive"

"A Shivan juggernaut has jumped within range. What's the status of the [[Bastion]]?"

"We'll hold them back here. Just get the ''Bastion'' through!"

Narrator: The following is classified level Rho. Unauthorised access is punishable under the GTVA security act, Deneb convention, section 21.3.5. We vanquished the Shivans in the Great War but the hard questions remained. How would we confront the threat of future invasion? The Shivans might return at any time, any place, without warning. How would we fight the next threat to the very existence of our species?
In 2345, on the tenth anniversary of the Shivan attack on Ross 128, the Vasudan emperor Khonsu II addressed the newly formed GTVA general assembly. The emperor inaugurated an ambitious and unprecedented joint endeavour. The GTVA Colossus. 

Khonsu II: Together we built a civilisation on the ruins of the great war, and now we stand on the threshold of a new era of prosperity and harmony. Project Colossus the Vasudan people celebrate our shared covenant of peaceful coexistence and mutual defense of our Terran allies. 

Narrator: The Colossus is the most powerful space faring warship ever constructed. Spanning six kilometres from bow to stern the Colossus has taken over twenty years to complete. Twelve Lucifer-class destroyers can fit within its massive hull. Its state of the art weaponry includes, forty-five laser turrets, fifteen flak guns, twelve missile batteries and twelve beam cannons. The Colossus wields more firepower than five Orion-class destroyers combined. Sixty fighter and bomber wings are housed in its vast hanger, and its crew numbers over thirty thousand. Among its contractors are industry giants Triton Dynamics, Subach-Innes and the Akheton Corporation
The alliance now wages war on multiple fronts in Deneb, Alpha Centuri, Epsilon Pegasi and the mysterious nebula beyond Gamma Draconis. Once deployed the Colossus will end these conflicts swiftly and decisively. If ever the Shivans return to threaten our worlds we will be ready to face the challenge, securing peace for today and for generations to come.

===FS2 Tech Room Description===
The GTVA ''Colossus'' resulted from an endeavor unprecedented in Terran or Vasudan history. This 6-kilometer-long behemoth is the result of 20 years of joint effort from dozens of contractors of both races. The ''Colossus'' is the most powerful space-faring warship ever made, bristling with over 80 weapon turrets. It also houses 60 fighter and bomber wings and requires a crew of over 30,000. The firepower of the ''Colossus'' is greater than that of most GTVA battle groups.

===Developer Notes===
None

===Veteran Comments===
''The GTVA Colossus was an excellent warship, eqipped perfectly for the job it was designed for. While engaging the NTF hordes, we always knew the battle was over when the Colossus entered the fray. The Colossus' demise was one of the bravest sacrifices ever made by a ship in the GTVA. It remained in front of a Sathanas juggernaut, even though it had no chance of surviving, so that the Bastion might reach the Epsilon Pegasi node.'' 
''The Colossus is really out of its league against the Sathanas, but it was never designed for killing juggernauts. The Colossus' proper role is hunting and killing destroyers, a task at which it excels. It would take a very large number of smaller ships to threaten the Colossus; witness its single-handed destruction of the NTF.''

GTF Hercules

2006-01-24T14:25:21Z

81.182.83.119: intro added

{{FS12_Ships}}
{{shipimage|image=http://www.volition-inc.com/fs/images/spacecraft/gtf-hercules.jpg|caption=The GTF Hercules}}

The '''GTF Hercules''' was pioneer in heavy fighter design, being the first fighter to carry six primary guns. The Hercules was first introduced during the [[Great War]] and flew several successful missions against the [[Shivans]].

The [[Neo-Terra Front]] used the Hercules as their mainstay fighter.

The sequel of this class was the [[GTF Hercules Mark II]] with increased agility and secondary loadout at the expense of only four primary guns.

==Description:==

===FS1 Tech Room Description===
The GTF Hercules is the slowest and most unmanageable fighter in the fleet. This is offset, however, by its overpowering weaponry and shielding. It carries 6 primary weapons, as well as two full secondary banks. This heavy assault fighter is best suited for small target attacks and bomber escort.

===FS2 Tech Room Description===
The old workhorse of the Terran fleet, the Hercules is a beloved but aging design. It was the mainstay of the Terran forces during the Great War, but it is slowly being phased out of the modern fleet. As they are replaced by Herc IIs, Myrmidons, and other recent designs, Hercules fighters are increasingly relegated to training and guard duties far from the front lines. Pilots who've flown Hercs for years love the ship's heavy armor and firepower and have learned to compensate for its low speed and poor maneuverability. The old Hercs are still widely used by NTF forces.

===Developer Notes===
Low max velocity offset by its tremendous offensive capabilities. High weapon capacity.

===Veteran Comments===
''I would say this is an okay fighter during the first Great War, but during FS2, it has become out-dated. It has six gun-points, so it has reasonable firepower, but that firepower is offset by it's slow speed and 'blockiness'. During FS1, it was a decent fighter, but it has been replaced by the Hercules MKII and the myrmadon(sp) in FS2. I like this a little better than the newer Hercules, because of its firepower, but there is almost always a better ship too use in FS2.''

GTF Loki

2006-01-24T14:22:20Z

81.182.83.119: intro added

{{FS12_Ships}}
{{shipimage|No Picture|caption=The GTF Loki}}

The '''GTF Loki''' was an experimental stealth fighter which later became an interceptor fighter during the [[NTF Rebellion]].

==Description:==

===FS1 Tech Room Description===
Designed by GTI engineers, the '''GTF Loki''' is undoubtedly the best reconaissance craft in Terran or Vasudan service. Its hull shape and shielded reactor chamber lends itself to providing a low sensor profile, and is yet capable of very high speed maneuvers. Its relatively light armament and low armor rating make it unsuitable for extended firefights, however.

===FS2 Tech Room Description===
The GTF Loki is designated as a fighter, but it's more of a heavy reconnaissance craft. The Loki's micro-roughened hull and shielded exhaust chamber give it an extremely reduced profile to detection sensors. This makes it ideal for reconnaissance and infiltration missions that rely on stealth rather than firepower. Lacking the weaponry and armor to survive prolonged battles, the Loki can usually stay alive long enough for its high maneuverability and speed to discourage pursuers. Lokis are widely used by NTF forces.

===Developer Notes===
High max velocity offset by its tiny payload. High weapon capacity.

===Veteran Comments===
''It sucks! It is not terribly fast by FS2 standards, and it has very low missile capacity. There is no reason to ever choose this over the Perseus.(Yes there is. It is much more manuverable)'' 
''The Loki was never a superior fighter. It's ridiculously small secondary capacity and weak shielding ensured this. In Silent Threat it was only marginally superior to the Valkyrie, and then only in a dogfight; in FS2 it is in over its head against the second-generation GTVA fighters.''
''Also, since the NTF uses this ship a ton in the first half of the game, you should be able to easily outmanouver it within the first few missions featuring the Loki. If you fail at beating this one, you might want to rethink your piloting skills.''

SD Ravana

2006-01-24T14:21:06Z

81.182.83.119: boldening

The '''SD Ravana''' class of Destroyers was first spotted in the [[Shivan_Nebula|nebula]] beyond [[Gamma Draconis]], discovered by the GTCv Lysander and the GTCv Actium. 
This Class is probably the most powerful Shivan capital vessel, second only to the [[SJ Sathanas|Sathanas]] and maybe the Lucifer. In possesion of 4 forward facing beam cannons, it can rip through the hull of a [[GTD Hecate|Hecate]] or [[GTD Orion|Orion]] class destroyer in under a minute, and take out smaller vessels within seconds. It's anti-capital ship weaponry make it a threat to any vessel, even one the size of the Colossus. 
But the Anti-Capital beams come at a price. The Ravana Class is more vulnerable to fighter and bomber attacks than its brother, the [[SD Demon|Demon]] Class. Still, it would take a large number of squadrons to take out such a target.

==Description:==

===FS2 Tech Room Description===
The SD Ravana is a destroyer class GTVA forces have only recently encountered. It appears to be tasked with clearing out smaller foes, a mission for which it is well suited. It eagerly wipes out wings of fighters and bombers and also overwhelms cruisers and corvettes.

===Developer Notes===
None

===Veteran Comments===
''The Ravana is scary-looking, but it's not tough. Weaker in terms of hull strength, and MUCH weaker in terms of turret strength then the Demon, the Ravana pays for its attack-oriented design with weak defenses. Indeed, fighters and bombers can range over the front three-quarters of Ravana's upper surfaces with near-impunity, and the lower-spine-mounted SAAA beam is placed too far back to defend the Ravana's main guns. It has a flak turret and another SAAA for anyone who comes up behind it, however. A capital ship behind a Ravana, on the other hand, is the Shivan destroyer's death sentence, as its engine subsystems are not strong and cover nearly the whole rear surface of the destroyer.''

{{shipimage|image=http://www.freespace2.com/images/ship_mjolnir/smpic.jpg|caption=The GTSG Mjolnir}}

The '''GTSG Mjolnir Remote Beam Cannon''' was a sentry gun armed with a special kind of beam weapon. Mjolnirs were designed to guard jump nodes from hostile warship entries.

==Description:==

===FS2 Tech Room Description===
The GTSG Mjolnir is the most advanced sentry gun device known. Vastly tougher and deadlier than the earlier Watchdog, Cerberus, and Alastor models, the Mjolnir is a danger to any hostile fighter or bomber that comes within range. Its two beam weapons and three missile banks enable it to take on multiple enemies simultaneously. Mjolnirs are also referred to as RBCs (remote beam cannons). They are used to help protect the most vital front-line Alliance installations.

===Developer Notes===
None

===Veteran Comments===
''The Mjolnir mounts only one weapon, despite the tech description. That weapon is the single most deadly GTVA beam cannon you're ever going to find, however. Mjolnirs are very nice things to have on a blockade, but desperately vunerable to fighter and bomber attack.''

Subspace

81.182.83.119:

http://freespace.volitionwatch.com/techfs/jeremy/subspace.jpg

==Freespace 2 Tech Room Description==

In simple terms, '''subspace''' is an n-dimensional tunnel between one point in the universe and another. A vessel can travel through this tunnel in a matter of minutes, making a journey that might otherwise take decades or even centuries at [[light speed]].

A jump drive causes a ship to vibrate in multiple dimensions until its modulations are in perfect synchronization with the subspace continuum. A vortex opens, creating an aperture from an infinitesimally small point in the cosmos, enabling the vessel to cross the subspace threshold.

Two types of jumps are possible.

First, an intrasystem jump can occur between two points in a star system. Most small, space-faring vessels are equipped with motivators capable of these short jumps. The presence of an intense gravitational field is required, prohibiting travel beyond the boundaries of a star system.

Second, ships can jump from system to system via nodes. Until [The Great War], only larger ships could generate sufficient power to use jump nodes. The development of jump drives for fighters and bombers in 2335 enabled the [[Galactic Terran Alliance]] to destroy the [[SD Lucifer]] in subspace. Producing these small jump drives is prohibitively expensive, so they are restricted to missions that require pilots to travel between systems. The Head-Up Display indicates the location of jump nodes with a green sphere.

The vast majority of subspace nodes are extremely unstable, forming and dissipating in nanoseconds. Other nodes have a longer lifespan, existing for centuries or millennia before collapsing. The jump nodes sanctioned by the [[Galactic Terran-Vasudan Alliance]] for interstellar travel are expected to remain stable for many years.

==Wiki Comments==

Intersystem jumps (through subspace) represent a very quick method of travel; journeys that would take years - or even centuries - at light speed are only a matter of hours or days when travelling via subspace. In Freespace 1 (the fail debrief for the 2nd last mission), it is noted that the Lucifer will take around 40 hours to reach Earth from Delta Serpentis.

The Freespace Reference Bible describes inter-system jumps as being near instantaneous.

GTF Myrmidon

{{FS12_Ships}}
{{shipimage|image=http://www.freespace2.com/images/ship_myrmidon/smpic.jpg|caption=The GTF Myrmidon}}

The '''GTF Myrmidon''' is an official sequel to the [[GTF Ulysses]] interceptor despite the fact that the Myrmidon is an all-around space superiority fighter. This class of fighter was a prefered choice for pilots of all skill due to its balanced attributes.

The [[53rd Hammerheads]] used primarily the GTF Myrmidon for its missions.

==Description:==

===FS2 Tech Room Description===
RNI Systems' GTF Myrmidon replaces the Ulysses as the Alliance's primary space superiority fighter. The Myrmidon has received high marks for speed, maneuverability, armor, and loadout. An ultra-efficient hull configuration provides space for three secondary weapon systems, a first for Terran-Vasudan fighters. This versatility enables Myrmidon squadrons to fulfill a range of combat roles, from light assault to heavy reconnaissance. In the Deneb system, the 53rd Hammerheads of the GTD Aquitaine have demonstrated the effectiveness of the Myrmidon against NTF forces.

===Developer Notes===
None

===Veteran Comments===
''The Myrmidon is not the uberfighter tech room makes it out to be. It's actually slower than the Ulysses on afterburner, and what they don't tell you about those three secondary banks is that the first two are very small. It can't carry the signature dogfighter's missile, the Harpoon, but it can make use of all three of the primary dogfighting cannon: Subach, Prom S, and Kayser.''

''It does, however, have a problem in the primaries department. While the Myrmidon actually has six guns, granting it some serious firepower, their configuration is sub-optimal for dogfighting and hitting with the upper four guns requires some ignoring of the "Aim Here" aid.''

''As an aside/general oddity, the Myrmidon is actually capable of carrying the Helios bomb. It has enough space for four of them, giving it a considerable threat to poorly defended capital ships.''

----

''This class of fighter is ideal for those who prefer balance between firepower, strength and agility. The secondary weapon capacity equals with the Perseus with some compatibility differences. While the Myrmidon is unable to carry the Harpoon, the player needs to be better with primaries than secondaries. The six primary guns will help players with these preferences. The first and the second bank are ideally armed with Tornadoes and the third with Tempests. The second bank is not the best with Tempest because of the location of the firing points. Players might prefer this for tactical runs as it is compatible with the [[Akheton SDG]] anti-subsystem cannon. If you arm it to the first primary bank, you still have the second bank, which has four firing points to arm with the Prometheus S.''

GVF Serapis

2006-01-24T14:10:23Z

81.182.83.119: Veteran comment + intro

{{FS12_Ships}}
{{shipimage|No Picture|caption=The GVF Serapis}}

The '''GVF Serapis''' was the mainstay interceptor fighter for the Vasudan navy after its development following the [[Great War]].

==Description:==

===FS2 Tech Room Description===
Fast and highly maneuverable, the GVF Serapis is primarily used as a bomber interceptor. Its thin armor and weak shields give it a low survival rate in dogfights against more heavily armored fighters. Despite having only two primary and secondary weapon banks, the Serapis has been retrofitted to accommodate almost any loadout in the GTVA arsenal. Veteran Vasudan pilots love the Serapis for its agility and loadout options. Some Terran pilots who've been privileged enough to fly it claim to prefer it to any Terran fighter.

===Developer Notes===
None

===Veteran Comments===
''The Serapis is classed as a space superiority fighter, but don't let that fool you. This is in fact a civilian ultralight for airshows. While that sounds harsh, it is unfortunately rather true. A joy to simply fly thanks to its speed and manuverablity, the Serapis is also disturbingly fragile, at least as much so as the FS1-era Valkyrie if not more so. The Serapis has an extremely high attrition rate in combat.''

----

''The Serapis is a light interceptor which was not designed to survive in prolonged battles. Those who liked flying the PVF Horus or the PVF Thoth will probably like this fighter as it is superior to its predecessors. The main strength of the Serapis is its weapon compatibility. A pilot who prefers intercepting fighters to doing heavy assault will most likely prefer this during the Vasudan missions.

It is to be noted that most Terran interceptors have better combat performance.''

GTF Ares

81.182.83.119: Veteran comment + intro

{{FS12_Ships}}
{{shipimage|No Picture|caption=The GTF Ares}}

The '''GTF Ares''' was a heavy fighter class during the [[Second Shivan Incursion]]. It was an upgraded version to the [[GTF Hercules Mark II]] with more missiles and thicker armoring. The Ares's production was limited because of its high specifications and maintenance cost.

==Description:==

===FS2 Tech Room Description===
The GTF Ares class of fighters is a radical upgrade of the Hercules II fighter. The power plant has been completely replaced with the newer, more powerful Nankam NA-27f model. Depleted uranium shielding has been added atop critical subsystems, making the Ares harder to incapacitate. Two primary weapon banks have been added, for greater firepower than the Herc II. This greater punch and protection come at a cost, however, as the Ares handles like a potato.

===Developer Notes===
None

===Veteran Comments===
''The Ares is for those times when you just want to sit back and lob missiles at people. It also makes a decent bomber substitute against heavily defended convoys of transports and cruisers. Standard usage of an Ares defensively is to load up with Trebuchets, park next to what you're defending, and blow people away with paired hits at maximum range. Never try to dogfight; it is an exercise in futility.''

----

''This figther is ideal for those who need firepower instead of maneuverability and speed. It can be armed with more missiles and is much tougher than the Hercules Mark II. Being a heavy attack fighter, it is vulnerable against faster-moving fighters. The Ares needs fighter escorts otherwise they are easily destroyed by more agile opponents.

The Ares is compatible with a wide range of weapons, including the most destructive Maxim and UD-8 Kayser.''

SC Lilith

{{FS12_Ships}}
{{shipimage|image=http://www.descent-freespace.com/goodies/gallery/ships/tn_sclilith_tga.jpg|caption=The SC Lilith}}

The '''SC Lilith''' was a heavy cruiser class, used by the Shivans in both the [[Great War]] and the [[Second Shivan Incursion]]. The Lilith offered a heavy beam cannon against capital ships and numerous other turrets against fighters.

==Description:==

===FS1 Tech Room Description===
While far more rare than its counterpart, the Cain-class cruiser, the Lilith is one of the most ferocious cruisers we have had the misfortune of combating. It has extremely strong weapon systems, as well as a very thick armor which our cannons can barely penetrate. One for one, the Lilith can easily destroy any of our cruisers. It is for this reason that they should be considered a primary target for all bomber squadrons in the GTA. 
The Lilith should be considered a Class A threat to any ships that encounter it.

===FS2 Tech Room Description===
The SC Lilith class of Shivan cruisers is a far-deadlier foe than the Cain class. Nearly impenetrable armor plating enables it to withstand tremendous punishment, enabling its nine turrets to lash out at warships and combat spacecraft with impunity.

===Developer Notes===
None

===Veteran Comments===
''The Lilth is, in FS2, probably the single most effective cruiser in the game. It gains this title simply because it is ridiculously difficult to destroy. This thick armor also makes it very difficult knock out critical subsystems and weapons, while its main beam cannon is destroyer-scale LRed, giving it a nasty punch. Despite its durablity, its antifighter defenses are only marginally superior to the Cain, with its Shivan Cluster launchers instead of Fighterkiller missiles.''

==Description:==

===FS2 Tech Room Description===
RNI Systems' GTF Myrmidon replaces the Ulysses as the Alliance's primary space superiority fighter. The Myrmidon has received high marks for speed, maneuverability, armor, and loadout. An ultra-efficient hull configuration provides space for three secondary weapon systems, a first for Terran-Vasudan fighters. This versatility enables Myrmidon squadrons to fulfill a range of combat roles, from light assault to heavy reconnaissance. In the Deneb system, the 53rd Hammerheads of the GTD Aquitaine have demonstrated the effectiveness of the Myrmidon against NTF forces.

===Developer Notes===
None

===Veteran Comments===
''The Myrmidon is not the uberfighter tech room makes it out to be. It's actually slower than the Ulysses on afterburner, and what they don't tell you about those three secondary banks is that the first two are very small. It can't carry the signature dogfighter's missile, the Harpoon, but it can make use of all three of the primary dogfighting cannon: Subach, Prom S, and Kayser.''

''It does, however, have a problem in the primaries department. While the Myrmidon actually has six guns, granting it some serious firepower, their configuration is sub-optimal for dogfighting and hitting with the upper four guns requires some ignoring of the "Aim Here" aid.''

''As an aside/general oddity, the Myrmidon is actually capable of carrying the Helios bomb. It has enough space for four of them, giving it a considerable threat to poorly defended capital ships.''

----

''This class of fighter is ideal for those who prefer balance between firepower, strength and agility. The secondary weapon capacity equals with the Perseus with some compatibility differences. While the Myrmidon is unable to carry the Harpoon, the player needs to be better with primaries than secondaries. The six primary guns will help players with these preferences. The first and the second bank are ideally armed with Tornadoes and the third with Tempests. The second bank is not the best with Tempest because of the location of the firing points. Players might prefer this for tactical runs as it is compatible with the [[Akheton SDG]] anti-subsystem cannon. If you arm it to the first primary bank, you still have the second bank, which has four firing points to arm with the Prometheus S.''
