Sparky is a c/4 orthogonal spaceship found by Hartmut Holzwart on August 11, 1992. Alternatively, it may refer just to the tagalong (displayed in green) that is attached to the back of non-monotonic spaceship 1. Its name is due to the several sparks that it produces at its rear in one of its phases.
