Who would the GTVA side with if the civil war was still raging?

Neither. They would stop and make a truce...or face the wrath of the GTVA.

Re: What the Shivans were doing at Capella... :o
Well sai T Man ! I find it rather hard to believe that they would start a war with the GTVA! Let's nopt forget that during the firts great war the terrans and the vasudans were allies and each side fough battles whre they sacrificed men and ships bo buy the other side more time. Also during the end movie in FS1 were you see the Lucy blows up and all those ships exiting the node I also believe I saw some vasudan ships exiting the node i believe it was 2 cruisers and some fighters.
Die shivan die!!
Then jumps into his apple stealth pie and goes of to war.What a brave lad....what a brave lad say the ladies in red.

Shivans - Galaxy Police

They blew up Capella because they had been trapped in the nebula and it's systems for so long, and they wanted a nice fireworks show celebrating their new found freedom.

No, they were a few Thoths.

 
Re: What the Shivans were doing at Capella... :o
The strange thing is that Petrach theorized about why Capella was destroyed, and perhaps that is the 'Official' end to the plot, resolving that shivans needed to use the small timespan between when they activated those large 'subspace guns' (after converging all their claw-like arms then letting rip with those giant black subspace ball things) , and use this energy to jump through some vortex that the quickly deteriorating capella sun could only provide enough power to do, perhaps to go somewhere. And if they've all gone away, then good riddence to them, since they've effectively gone somewhere and hopefully far away from GTVA space.

But why the Capella sun? Why couldn't they use a different star? And why are they so aggressive towards everyone?

They blew up Capella because they had been trapped in the nebula and it's systems for so long, so they decided to blow up a star and create yet another nebula.

Fixed. :D

Because they find any other race that uses subspace as a threat to them.

 
Re: What the Shivans were doing at Capella... :o
well i like to beilieve that the shivans think the terrans or vasudans (or both?) are remnants of the ancients that somehow survived and prospered after they were nearly annihilated by the shivans.

But ya, the shivans obviously are xenocidal, so that makes sense too.
Fun while it lasted.

Then bitter.

How long do vasudans live anyway? Assuming that in 10-20 years afrer Capella the GTVA fixes the jump node to Sol, would the vasudan pilots still be alive? Would they get medals or maby even a high rank for saving Earth?


HMmmmmm..a charachter like that would be highly interesting in a campaign.. *makes a few notes*

The pilots that destroyed the Lucifer gets promoted to Admirals.

Oh, right. The ones that want to live :P

They mated with Terrans.  Horribly, horribly fascinating children, they were.

the metis children of Earth :D

Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the system beyond the portal is also a nebula?

And why are they so aggressive towards everyone?

The shivans are xenocidal, meaning they are extremely hostile to other species. Nobody knows why.

I've also postulated that the FS1 Shivans and FS2 Shivans may not even be the same actual race; the mechanical components stay the same but the biological changes.


yeah some were dumb like retards in mental hospitals and some were like friggen geeks in control rooms...

Actualy that theory does hold some water since we have a very distinctive behavior sort of in regards to the shivans form FS1 and those from FS2.
