I&#x27;d never heard of hellburner ships, but I _have_ read C.J. Cherryh&#x27;s novel Hellburner (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Devil_to_the_Belt" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Devil_to_the_Belt</a>). I wonder if that&#x27;s where she got the name.
