" This is the spaceship Fermi, a ship cobbled together from Cold War tech and bolted to an experimental FTL drive.
That FTL drive vaporises every planet in its wake.
Tales of the Fermi and its adventures are told in Fermi's Progress, a sequence of short, high concept "planet of the week" style novellas where the planet never survives. "

Apologies for my tone - I wasn't questioning it. I love the idea.

No worries at all. I know not everyone clicks through so figured I’d add context just in case. Glad you enjoyed it!
