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 Grand Duke Solomon Klonor addressed the newly formed Klonor General Assembly. The Duke inaugurated an ambitious and unprecedented joint endeavor. The GDJ Colossus.
Solomon Klonor: Together we built a civilization on the ruins of the Great War, and now we stand on the threshold of a new era of prosperity and harmony. With Project Colossus, the Klonor people celebrate our shared covenant of peaceful coexistence and mutual defense of our Colony allies.
The Colossus is the most powerful space faring warship ever constructed. Spanning six kilometers 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 Advanced 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, 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.
