Dashi

Norta, Dashi's largest moon, explodes mysteriously and leaves an entire galaxy wondering why. Daisha Malia and her Della named Petra maneuver complicated political consequences as they attempt to keep Project Lotus secret from anyone outside the regals. They face criticism from their universal rivals while they quietly rebuild the project and manage a territorial conflict that is slowly spiraling into chaos.

A brilliant scientist turned radical is thrown into inconvenient predicaments that force him to get creative while a reporter is torn between loyalty and bravery. A doctor must choose if she is willing to sacrifice her career, and possibly her life, when she encounters a former sonic pilot that has taken up a revolutionary flag. The pilot begins to feel the weight of an X as he grapples with faith and allegiance.

Dashian X is devastated and the galaxy turns a blind eye. The X is dry and unforgiving but upon Norta's explosion, an anger is born. However, that anger is useless without a leader to harness it and guide it toward the source. There is only one man that wears an X with pride and his reach is far. The Xers want more than revenge but Azure Dashi has bigger plans that begin with a young girl.

The destruction of Norta begins a chain reaction that pits friend against friend and patriots against revolutionaries. War looms over Dashi but Project Lotus could be the trump card that turns the tide.
