	~~{{shipimage\|image=[[Image:Sjd.png]]\|caption=The SJD Sathanas}}~~		The '''SJD ''Sathanas''''' was a substitute for the SJ ''Sathanas'' that first appears in the [[FreeSpace 2]] mission, [[Into the Lion's Den]].

	The '''SJD ''Sathanas''''' was a substitute for the SJ ''Sathanas'' ~~used~~ in the [[FreeSpace 2]] mission, [[Into the Lion's Den]]. Up close, it is a simple textured tetrahedron (a polyhedron with four faces), but in the target view, it appears to be a [[SJ Sathanas\|''Sathanas''-class juggernaut]]. This was done in order to save memory - In this mission, six juggernauts jump in which could potentially cause problems on older machines.

	Because of the amount of distance between the player and the ships in this mission, and the fact that the player only has 15 minutes to complete the mission, the player never actually gets to see the tetrahedral shape of this ship.

	They also make several more discreet appearances in the last few missions of the game, starting with [[Their Finest Hour]], where dozens of them are placed far outside the game area and hidden from sensors. This gives the illusion of multiple Sathanas juggernauts around the Capella star, in addition to the Sathanas background bitmaps. Using [[GTM EMP Adv.\|EMP missiles]] can have strange effects on these missions, including being able to target the mission props, and wingmen attempting to attack them. Attempting to attack them yourself may result in you going out-of-bounds and your vessel self-destructing.

	~~Many user-made mods remove~~ the SJD ''Sathanas'' ~~from the list of available ships to save room~~, ~~since the ship's only use was fulfilled~~ in the ~~official~~ ''~~FreeSpace 2~~'' ~~campaign~~. ~~Some other user~~-~~made missions briefly use~~ this ~~ship~~, ~~either as target practice for a "missed" beam cannon shot~~, ~~sensor echoes or other discreet purposes~~.		Up close, the SJD ''Sathanas'' is a simple textured tetrahedron (a polyhedron with four faces), but in the target view, it appears to be a [[SJ Sathanas\|''Sathanas''-class juggernaut]]. This was done in order to save memory - in Into the Lion's Den, six juggernauts jump in which could potentially cause problems on older machines. Because of the amount of distance between the player and the ships in this mission, and the fact that the player only has 15 minutes to complete the mission, the player never actually gets to see the tetrahedral shape of this ship up close.

	~~Despite~~ being ~~smaller than~~ a ~~real Sathanas~~, an ~~unmodified SJD~~ Sathanas ~~explodes just as violently~~.		The SJD ''Sathanas'' also makes several more discreet appearances in the last few missions of the game, starting with [[Their Finest Hour]], where dozens of them are placed far outside the game area, hidden from sensors, and have the "ship-guardian" flag enabled, meaning they cannot be killed by any means (including ` + K) unless the flag is first removed by cheating, then they are targeted by the player under the effects of EMP. This gives the illusion of multiple ''Sathanas'' juggernauts around the Capella star, in addition to the ''Sathanas'' background bitmaps. Using [[GTM EMP Adv.\|EMP missiles]] can have strange effects on these missions, including being able to target the mission props, and wingmen attempting to attack them. Attempting to attack them yourself may result in you going out-of-bounds and your vessel self-destructing. In addition, during the events of Their Finest Hour, one of the SJD ''Sathanas'', designated "''Sathanas 17''" in the Event Viewer, plays a pivotal role in the story, being the juggernaut that jumped away from the vicinity of the Capella star and into the mission area (as an actual SJ ''Sathanas'') to engage and ultimately destroy the [[GTVA Colossus]].

	~~On a related note, there was a low~~-~~polygon~~ Sathanas ~~model found in the retail VP files known~~ as "~~minicap.pof~~"~~. It appears~~ to ~~serve no purpose~~.		Although some user-made missions use the SJD ''Sathanas'' as target practice for a "missed" beam cannon shot, sensor echo or other discreet purposes, most mods otherwise remove it entirely to save room, since the ship's only uses were fulfilled in the official ''FreeSpace 2'' campaign, and are largely rendered obsolete by modern-day hardware.

	~~An odd note would be that all SJD Sathanases have Ship-Guardian, the exception~~ being ~~Into the Lions Den.~~		Despite being smaller than a real ''Sathanas'', an unmodified SJD ''Sathanas'' explodes just as violently.
	~~If cheats are activated~~, ~~you would have to first disable ship-guardian, then use ship-kill to destroy them from any distance, provided you used~~ an ~~EMP missile to target them~~.
