My nomination for flagship is one I am not allowed to fly, a privilege reserved by my sister. Nonetheless, she was paid for out of my winnings in the YC 121 New Eden Capsuleer Writing Contest and is named after [the story responsible](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/yc-121-necwc-the-clay-maiden/159739), so I feel a strong personal connection to her.

The Clay Maiden served as a key catalyst for the early development of the Intaki-Business Logistics Union and continues to be the primary platform used by many Union members moving materials, goods and people to and from JQV5-9. I am proud of the constructive use made of the financial windfall from NECWC (which would not have been possible without the extraordinary generosity of the contest sponsors and organisers) and wish this year’s entrants the very best of luck.
