This is a list of spacecraft and other vehicles that appear in Space: 1999, a 1970s British science-fiction television series.
That's a spaceship used as a bomber for other ships and planets.
In "Alpha Child" the bomber is used to destroy the ships belonged to the fugitive alien Jarak.
In "War Games" the aliens do appear the bomber, using as sources the Alphan memories, to destroy Moonbase Alpha.
In "Dragon's Domain" the bomber is seen in the spaceship graveyard around Ultra.
In "The Metamorph" the model used to rapresent this battlecruiser in the other episodes have a cameo in the spaceship graveyard on Psychon.
A modified bomber is also featured as the Deltan battleship in "The Last Enemy", but it and its command module are also seen in both the spaceship graveyards.
The Eagle Transporter is Moonbase Alpha's primary reconnaissance, supply and defence spacecraft.
The Mark IX Hawk is a warship featured in the first series episode "War Games". Highly-manoeuvrable and well-armed, it was designed specifically to counter extraterrestrial threats against Earth and its colonies. In the episode, a Hawk fleet launched from an alien planet attacks Moonbase Alpha, obliterating the Eagle squadron and inflicting serious damage on the base.
Commissioned in 1997 by the Global Defence Command, the original Hawk fleet is based at Space Dock until the Moon's catastrophic departure from Earth orbit on 13 September 1999. Since the most recent UFO incursions had occurred nearly 20 years previously, plans to build a Hawk base on the Moon were abandoned earlier that year.
