Yeah, laying traps would be the most effective use... think about it, the GTVA spots a Shivan convoy or something moving from place to place - sends out a taskforce to eliminate it. Wham, Sathanas nukes it all and vanishes before they can get word back.

Come to think about it, didn't one of the SSDs in the Rogue Squadron novels have a cloaking device?

Shivans, AFAIK, aren't in the business of layig traps. They've always seemed to rely on brute force, which is why a cloaking device on any Shivan ship doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Plus, apart from Turnskys scare factor, now that the Collosus is out of th picture, there'a bsolutely nothing that can really stand up to a Sath (assuming it had some support craft to protect its rear while it made the major attacks. I mean, really, if you had a Sath in your shivan task force you'd just pick your target and go, nothing could stop you. Why screw around with cloaks? Plus cloaking technology would either be very new to the shivans (and therefore probably buggy) or very expensive. Either way - cloaking a ship the size of a Sath is inefficient. A cloaking device would be more suited on, say, a Lillith. Cloak your lillith, fly it into your GTVA shipyard. Decloak. Fire your LRed at the Almost finished Hecate. Cloak. Move away as fast as you can (hopefully the shipyard defenses are still in so much shock that they aren't defending as well as they normally would. By the time they fire off more than a few shots, you'vbe moved away to God Knows where to repeat the same perfrmance - couldn't do that with a 6 km juggie.

Though that's another subtle tactic, something Shivans don't seem to like too much...

Meh.

Sath ain't a warship anyway.
