Meet Captain Rex Stardust: the galaxy's most confident idiot. Armed with a toy blaster, a pocket guide older than most civilizations, and a chest full of self-awarded medals, Rex blunders through the cosmos convinced he's making history. Meanwhile, his four-armed first officer does all the actual work, his ship's AI actively sabotages him, and the S.S. Bravo itself seems personally determined to kill its crew through malfunctioning doors and rogue gravity.

The Galactic Council sent Rex into uncharted space because no one else was dumb enough to volunteer. Now he's out there making "first contact" with alien species using diplomacy tactics that have been illegal for centuries, consulting a guidebook that lists extinct species as active threats, and somehow accidentally saving planets by falling into control panels.

Every captain's log is a masterpiece of self-delusion. Every mission is a catastrophe disguised as a triumph. Every day is a new opportunity for Rex to pose dramatically while reality burns behind him.

It is permissible as long as it's funny.
