I'll keep it simple. It's a pic of the galactic body for my own science fantasy space opera setting "The Desert Lotus"

my wish is to make art and tell stories with this setting. Ive had a few saga's in mind but I had to cancel and remove one due to how my mind was working during that time. But with a clearer mind I feel like I can maybe start on a saga featuring a good few characters in their own sort of "Tour de Lotus" adventure that may read a bit like star trek but more an independent crew who believe in their captain's cause. After a war of the two galactic hedgemons She gathers like minded crew to go and archive and preserve as much as they can so that in the event of a total destructive war and/or any other form of galactic civilizational collapse? the future can see what came before them, and appreciate a grand slice of history.

of course this wont be the only story. I have other characters around and in the making/remaking The general bit though on my setting is "what if we have classical western civilizations but as space faring empires going against ancient eastern peak civilizations that are also space faring empires?"
