The Moloch and deimos survived the first wave, what's to say the saths jumped out before the next, or the second wave is a massive subspace disturbance swallowing the whole explosion and hurling it to the other side of the node. The star is jumping (according to my theory), anything in the star gets pulled out too, that includes juggs, corvs, planets, etc. It all goes through the node. That blue wave is the subspace node, not a wave of destruction, but a wave of transportation. The deimos and moloch are going to find themselves in a shivan world where they'll promptly start battling it out again with a few thousand hitpoints less.

[Droid803]

Uhm, no...the Deimos and the Moloch are quite trashed. They're burnt, blackened, twisted, and crackling with electricity.

The blue wave is one of destruction, as can clearly be seen by the total obliteration of the deimos and moloch. Subspace jumps do not involve the deconstruction a ship, as can plainly be seen when you warp out of a mission.

[Droid803]

Indeed. Subspace travel is just entering the tunnel, like a phallus.

[Killer Whale]

this is a special type of warp. The warp is warping stuff as it expands, not vaporizing it into a million little pieces and transporting it. But i haven't seen that clip for a while. But crackling blue energy means heavily damaged, many little explosions along the surface mean destruction. Also, normal warps are a few kilometres round at the most, not billions of kilometres, this is required for the jump. A normal jump requires moving in one direction at the correct frequensy. And a slightly better way than moving the whole supernova, would be engulfing it. All matter within a certain distance is warped, the closest first and furthest last.

[Droid803]

So, its like the subspace hole enlarging?

[Agent_Koopa]

My whole theory was that the supernova was an accident, caused by the single missing Sathanas that the GTVA managed to blow up. Without every ship in position, they lost containment of the field, and it obliterated a large portion of their armada, even as part of it managed to depart (through a giant subspace node, perhaps?)

Because frankly, I don't think anything was supposed to have survived the supernova. It's portrayed in the cutscene as being pretty darn final. I think we're supposed to take it that everything in Capella at the time of supernova was obliterated, and that the surviving juggernauts went somewhere else completely, instead of taking off for the Gamma Draconis node.

That leaves the question of what that single Sath was doing all by itself. A loner, shunned by its peers?

[GTSVA]

I think the Shivans could have afforded to to risk a few SATHANAS losses because..well..their power is exponentially increasing, so they must have a SATHANAS factory somewhere on the other side of the Knossos...

(Psht..and we got sooo excited after destroying one SATHANAS)

I mean, look at the GTVA power... a simple Lilith can take down a Terran/Vasudan Destroyer, and any Shivan Destroyer is equivalent to our COLOSSUS warship...so that means...we don't have anything equivalent to a Juggernaut. Man...we Terrans suck...

Dum dee dum dee dum, wonder when my friends are going to get--HOLY CRAP WHAT IS THAT THING QUICKLY SHOOT IT AH AH AH OH MY GOD THERE ARE MORE OF THEM HELP AH RUN AWAY RUN AWAY *boom*

It was probably just early, and, obviously, didn't expect the Colossus to be waiting for it.

[Droid803]

Isn't it more like
"Dum dee dum dee dum, wonder when my friends are going to get--HOLY CRAP WHAT IS THAT THING QUICKLY SHOOT IT AH AH AH OH MY GOD WHERE ARE MY GUNS? HELP AH RUN AWAY RUN AW-" *boom*

[Agent_Koopa]

Not when I'm playing.
