FS2 MetaStream Model Description

The GTSG Alastor is the Alliance's most advanced sentry gun platform. Immobile once placed, Alastors can be dropped by warships to cover a retreat, or they can be positioned to strengthen defensive firepower around strategic locations. While Alastors alone cannot hold a position against more than a few fighters, complementing the sentry platforms with a warship and several wings of fighters has been shown to present an exemplary defense against all but the most determined of foes. Two Bessmer-Kohn cannon turrets on opposing sides of the platform give the Alastor a 360-degree field of fire. The turrets are independently controlled by the latest neuralnet cyber-AI to track and target multiple ships and warheads simultaneously. This targeting software has virtually eliminated the friendly fire incidents that used to happen all too frequently with the older Cerberus model sentry platforms.

Veteran Comments

Please read the Veteran Comments policy before editing this section.


This sentry gun packs the same damage as the GTSG Cerberus, and has 100 more hitpoints, but as with most sentries in FreeSpace 2 it's only effective in force of numbers.


In ...But Hate the Traitor, a number of these can be found with Morning Stars, which makes them very dangerous. In this particular mission, this can either work against you, or to your advantage.
