Fermi's Wake: D & DECEPTION
The first in a new series of stories following on from the adventures of Fermi’s Progress.
“The Fermi is the fastest ship, and the deadliest weapon in the universe. We only need it to be one of those things.”
The Fermi is back.
Three years into their planet-busting interstellar voyage, the crew of the Fermi try to relax with a tabletop RPG about living an ordinary life on the long-dead planet Earth. Only nobody can remember when they sat down to play. And the stakes might be higher than they realise.
Still, best not to think about it…
Star Trek Adventures Space Megafauna
Starfleet’s mission is to explore strange new worlds, but sometimes the strangest forms of life can be found between those worlds. The mechanisms allowing life to evolve in the emptiness between stars are as mysterious as the life-forms themselves, be they vast, space-faring leviathans or shimmering swarms of microscopic life stretching across nebulas. Whatever form they take, these life-forms represent the frontier of Starfleet’s mission of research, conservation, and, if necessary, defense.
This packet presents ten detailed mission briefs oriented around spatial megafauna, each of which you can modify for use as adventures in your Star Trek™ Adventures campaigns.

Dirty Work
“I don’t normally talk about work.”
A call handler for an insurance company that offers out of this world cover, a broker of Faustian pacts, the best man at a doomed stag night, a PR consultant who’s way out of his depth, and a ninja: everyone has a job to do. Eight stories, eight people, eight jobs: some find their work takes them just beyond reality; for others, “beyond reality” is just another day at the office.
Mark II
Phil still calls for his best friend every day on his way to school, despite Mark’s recent death. Then one morning Mark is back: a clone created by Laz-R-UsT. Without Phil to teach Mark II the basics of life – the proper way to wear a school shirt and tie, why it’s best not to back-chat playground bullies, that perhaps he’s not good enough for footy practice – he seems unlikely to survive, let alone convince anyone he really is Mark. But soon they feel like best mates again, hanging out doing everyday stuff together . . . until an awful accident makes us realise that no one’s heard the last of Mark I, or the odd circumstances behind his death. Told with teenage energy, Mark II takes a deft, witty approach to mortality and grief. Philosophical, accessible and intriguing, it also has strong appeal for adult readers.
Available in Italian as Mark 2.0.
