There are some Aeoluses (Aeoli?) in the campaign that dont get killed, there must be more than two dozen altogether.

Using CP5670's excellent Capital Ship Database I`ve found the following Aeolus class cruisers.

GTC Vigilant
GTC Warwick
GTC Agrippa
GTC Stalwart
GTC Templar
GTC Malta
GTC Ertanax
GTC Sparta

NTC Alexandria
NTC Liberty
NTC Epigoni
NTC Loyola
NTC Mylae
NTC Hellespont
NTC Saharan

That's all that are in the game. As for why so many defected to the NTF? Well the NTF didn`t have an hecate class destroyers maybe the additional aeolus crusiers were sent to make up for that lack until they could make some for Bosch's fleet. Of course when Bosch turned traitor he took them with him :)

Everybody is forgetting the GTC Adamant from the demo.  (O/T) I recently reinserted the voices from the demo and played the missions again, and I must say that "Crisis in Capella" is one of the most entertaining missions the [V] ever made.  This is proably due to the heavy voice exchanges the cruiser and fighter crews.
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

There are only 10 types of people in the world , those that understand binary and those that don't.

I do like chatter between cap-ships in missions. That's why I like 'Surrender Belisarius' because of the chatter. :)

haha, but you forget, the GTVA showed their state in the final outcome of the Collosus. The GTVA is and will forever be stupid. You could tell they were constructing the thing in their recession because of how much it sucked. I don't even ever recall it having the specs that the cutscene said it did. And even if it did, it sure didn't use all 12 of it's beam cannons. The oversized watergun sucked so much, I've seen real waterguns that were stronger than it. It just makes you wonder when you laugh your ass off when the stupid thing is firing 1-3 beams every couple seconds at the Sathanas and the commander of it is saying the whole thing is overloading. Ahhh...yes...the stupidity of the GTVA. It makes you wonder why those two headz aren't better than one.

The GTVA needed ship designers like we've got here... then the GTVA would've been the great-destroyers ;)

As far as I know, there's no solid information about the type of cruiser the Vigilant was. It was mentioned as destroyed for SM1-04's mission Command briefing by Shivan Rakshasa cruiser + 3 Mara fighter wings during patrol of GammaDrac node in Capella. Unless... was it shown in any cutscene? I didn't check those... :-/

And the Saharan is actually a NTFC, whatever the heck that is. I somehow managed to miss that one in my database. :)

I'm pretty sure it was an Aeolus in the briefing ani.

Yeah, it was an Aeolus; the shivan Rakshasa cut across its midsection with some beams as it exited subspace, ripping right through the cruiser's hull.  That was actually one of my favorite briefing animations.

A typo. :D

Look at it in FRED or in the mission and it's quite obviously an aeolus. Someone simply made a mistake and included the letter F.

I dont know about the senility part, but Dubya definitely doesn't seem too aware of what's going on around him and he doesn't seem to care even if he is in the know. :doubt:
