Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
William Ernest Henley

This is the personal fighter of spacer Jax Redbird, my sig fig. Whether it's used to destroy navies or tow asteroids, the Invictus is tough, dependable and practical. Jax spends a lot of time making it work just right, and occasionally adds on new parts as technology improves. She's old, but she can beat whatever's rolling off of the assembly lines today.
This ship hasn't changed much since 2009 and even though my skills have improved, I still think of the Invictus as my favorite.
