This unnamed sidecar for a length-7 overweight spaceship was discovered at an unknown date. The sidecar itself has a population of 14 in its minimum phase.

As the 7WSS itself is unstable, it must be stabilised on both sides. One 7WSS can support two of these sidecars. Alternatively, other stabilisation methods can be used. There are multiple ways in which a lightweight spaceship can be used, at least two of which give a spaceship with a minimum population of 36.

Glider synthesis

The spaceship was synthesized in 23 gliders by May13 on July 21, 2025.[1]
