i retract my statement that it was earth, that was based on playing a borrowed copy from a friend over 7 years ago and at age 14-16 i wasn't to bothered about what they were saying just annoyed that it was felt fitting to destroy such a kick ass ship.
on another note how did the admiral survive? throughout WC2 and the Spec Ops missions he was using the ship as his flag, Blair i can understand because as wing commander it was his duty to fly in defense of the ship but we have all seen how quickly a ship blows up when hit by that last torpedo and you never see a shuttle of the ships command staff try to sneak away
