Sunbird was built to be an FTL drive test bed and a proto-type for the Superswift project. This is part of the presentation made to the Earth Space Comission by the main contractor for the ship.

I created this little ship based on a kit-bashed model I made as a kid. It is inspired partly by the Superswift seen in Bringers of Wonder, and partly on the Swift seen in Brian the Brain (two entirely forgettable 2nd season episodes).

Moonbase Alpha, Landing Pad and Eagle One by James Murphy (I can't find him to thank him for his models)
Sunbird and all textures by me
(I made a few tweaks to each of the models)
