The Super Swift is a fictional spacecraft in the Space 1999 TV series. Brian Johnson's design is clearly influenced by 2001: A Space Odyssey; in turn, it influenced Star Wars and later science fiction.
The Super Swift is a ship that was only in the conceptual stages when the Moon was blasted out of Earth orbit. The designers were unable to create an engine that could travel faster than light, thus it never left the drawing boards. The Bringers of Wonder used the Alphans memories of the design to create the illusion of the Super Swift when their ship was approaching Alpha.
The Super Swift's design was also an evolution of the earlier Swift seen in the episode Brian the Brain. The Super Swift as designed carried a three man Pilot ship, a small scoutcraft which could also apparently go faster than light.
