Global One is a Global Defence Force-run space station orbiting Earth, commanded by Captain Ridley O'Bannon and operated by a large crew. It is at least 1000 feet long and is partially run by solar power.

The colour theme is blue and white, and it consists of a central portion with two concentric rings over two levels, with two arms spreading from this central portion, one arm carrying solar panels.

Global One is equipped with maneuvering thrusters that can move the station if need be. It is assumed that the station takes a geostationary orbit above the earth (more specifically, directly over South America).

Global One appears in Impact, when Langstrom Fischler's rocket changes a comet's trajectory to destroy the space station and impact Earth. Fortunately, John is able to use Thunderbird 5 to pull it out of the way in time, after Ridley refuses to abandon it, claiming she and her station were 'a package deal' and says "Save me, save my station".
