Ghost 1 is a human-constructed spaceship in the Transformers (2007) Movie continuity family.

Retroengineered from half-understood (at best) Ice Man-derived technology, the experimental Ghost 1 was created by Sector Seven in the late 1960s. It was theoretically capable of traversing the solar system from Jupiter back to Earth in a time frame of about six months (a rate of travel unnimaginable for Earth-based technology).

Ghost 1 was single-stage, sleek and winged, with noticably unaerodynamic bulges and technology protruding in various places. To Transformer eyes it was of very noticable Decepticon design (although simultaneously strangely primitive in construction) and resembled Megatron's space-jet form to some extent.

Ghost 1 possessed some weapons, which were evidently of enough sophistication to make the Transformers warry of them and at one point do enough damage to cause a sizeable distraction in Autobot/Decepticon battle.

Ghosts of Yesterday

Ghost 1 was launched using the Apollo 11 moonshot as a cover. Its mission was a test flight beyond Jupiter and back. The six-month tour was thrown for a loop while attempting to recreate an episode of Star Trek and it ended up pulling a Farscape instead. Things went decidedly downhill from there.
