Sampaguita

The Sampaguita was a homemade racing ship designed and built by Sam Rutherford during his freshman year at Starfleet Academy in 2371. The Sampaguita was funded by winning races such as the Devron 500, but was ultimately the last of several "sick racing ships" he built in his personal garage. It was during the construction a key component overheated and exploded, causing Rutherford to suffer significant injuries, particularly to the left side of his face. At the time, it was to be the "fastest racer in the quadrant." His future self deemed it "a seat strapped to an impulse engine", rather than a true ship.
In the mindscape where Rutherford's two personalities competed for control of his body, the younger Rutherford completed the construction of the Sampaguita, which he raced against the older version of himself, who piloted the Delta Flyer. The completed ship had Vulcan inverters, quad engines, and was equipped with shields. ()
