There's something odd about the Shivan-Vasudan one in the way the Shivan flies over.... almost as if it was self-propelled, or there was gravity acting on it.
That Typhon... that's a basis for HTL-isation right there, though.

The Tombaugh cutscene (this was cut from the game) script describes;
[q]Over her shoulder we see a huge warp tunnel begin to appear. It’s blood red and much larger than any subspace hole’s seen so far. The crew gasps in shock, wondering what it is.
[cut to closeup of emerging SuperDestroyer. Show tons of fighters spew from it’s bays before it’s even emerged totally. The SD mows over a couple Terran fighters floating in its way.]
[cut to shots of Shivan fighters blasting the helpless Terran fighters, pilots yelling]
[cut to shot of SD passing by the captured Cruiser. Watch as the shadow passes over the side of the station]
[cut to forward shot of the crowd at the window, as the shadow passes over them, they stand there in awe]
[cut to shot over their shoulders, as the SD passes very close to the Cruiser and station. Members of the assault team on the Cruiser point at different parts of it, muttering. The SD gradually slows to a stop.]
[cut to under shot of the SD’s big gun array. It starts to reconfigure and “draw light” to itself.]
[cut to shot of one crewmember]
Crew-1: Oh, no! [like he/she is the first to realize what’s happening]
[cut back to gun]
A huge energy beam blasts out from the gun!
[cut to shot of beam tearing into the Cruiser as it gets thrown back from the blast]
[cut to shot of assault troops at window, being thrown against the window from the impact]
[cut to shot of beam making its way across the Cruiser, slicing it up]
maybe: [cut to angle showing Shivans leaping from openings in the SD (without suits!)][cut to interior of cruiser where the crew was]
Through the window we can see the beam approach this room. The crew is running around madly, but the wall erupts and they’re all incinerated in a split second. Come up with some cool incineration effect here.
[cut to medium shot of the two ships]
The beam is cutting through the far side of the Cruiser, and it’s hull is buckling and breaking up.
[cut to interior shot of Shivans boarding and tearing up some Terran crew][cut to shot of a floating Terran fighter]
The battle is reflected in his canopy. He’s watching helplessly in wide-eyed fear]
[cut to reverse shot, showing his POV]
A couple seconds of battle can be seen before a Shivan fighter spots him, aims, and blasts him to hell. The screen goes black.
