Wick ship

A wick ship is a spaceship that moves at the same speed as part of a vector wick and consists of that part and a stabilization element.

Wick ships are extensible through introduction of more parts of the wick it is based on, such as 114P6H1V0's non-monotonic front part, shown below.

A puller is a wick ship for a front wick stabilization. For example, the following is a c/2 wick that needs frontal stabilization by two LWSSes.
