Answer: Swordfish
This fast and agile spacefighter is just an old piece of junk, as are all the crew's ships. But it's still fast and agile, and with Spike as its pilot it becomes a deadly machine. It has two cannons, a plasma gun, and options for carrying other kinds of payload on the wingtips. The fighter was modeled after the Fairey Swordfish Bomber that served in the English armed forces before and during World War II. This is most noticable in the round shape of the engine.
