Thunderbird 1 is a sleek white and blue space shuttle. Piloted by Captain Dylan Beyda (or Kallan James on occasion), the craft was initially constructed by NASA for deep space missions before being acquired and upgraded by IRO. Fitted with a new Ultimate Mark 10 HF computer guidance system, Thunderbird 1 serves as IRO's mobile command centre for operations both on and above the planet.
