The SJD Sathanas


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 Sathanas-class juggernaut. The reason this was used was to save memory on the older machines, and in Into the Lion's Den, there are six Sathanas-class juggernauts that jump in.

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

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.

On a related note, there was a low-polygon Sathanas model found in the retail VP files. This model is shown in the target view window when an SJD Sathanas is targeted.

Not to be confused with the actual SJ Sathanas.
