Ship
Hawk has excellent flying instincts, which he inherited from his ancestor, which means he is an extremely good pilot, better even than Buck Rogers. He pilots a one-man spaceship that is designed to look like a predatory bird and has retractable grappling talons. The talons are used in "Time of the Hawk" to grab and destroy spaceships. Hawk also accidentally injures Koori with them during his duel with Buck. In a later episode, "Testimony of a Traitor", Hawk uses them to stop a marine who is pursuing Buck.

“We want some coat woven of elastic steel, stout as the first, and limber as the second. We want a ship in these billows we inhabit. An angular, dogmatic house would be rent to chips and splinters, in this storm of many elements. No, it must be tight, and fit to the form of man, to live at all; as a shell is the architecture of a house founded on the sea.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
