Galaxy High Technology
Hornet Spacecraft
The Hornet is the main spaceship used for missions between planets. If a team loses their Hornet and doesn't finish their mission, they might get kicked out of Galaxy High. The Hornet has two missile launchers at the front. It also has two turrets for people to control and one automatic turret on top. One person can fly it, but usually three people are on board. The Hornet can also carry a special vehicle or cargo in the back.
Shuttle Aircraft
This is a huge aircraft carrier owned by Galaxy High. It is Principal Kirkpatrick's personal main ship. Its main job is to carry Defenders over long distances. For some missions, the Shuttle also carries Hornets, which can fly even further.
Gluefoam Substance
Gluefoam is a purple, sticky substance. It is used to stop a person or even to fix parts of a planet. If it gets on skin, it will eventually dissolve.
Defender Crafts
Defenders are small, light spacecraft. They are mostly used to protect Earth and Galaxy High. Josh, Yoko, and Brett each have one of the three main types of Defenders. These small crafts need Shuttles to carry them to their mission areas. Each Defender has different weapons. These include hidden laser blasters and various numbers of missiles.
