Jatouche

In "Pyre," humans face cultural shocks after discovering the ancient Messinants dome, which houses a gate used by sentient alien races for interstellar alliances. To join this elite circle, the struggling Pyreans must leverage something of value, but their nascent society lacks the necessary resources. When Captain Harbour, a Pyrean empath, is offered a transformative opportunity by Her Highness Tacticnok of the Jatouche, she must navigate the complexities of her society's factions. Both races grapple with hidden challenges, including the Jatouche's quest for respect within the alliance and the looming threat of aggressive species from their gate number five.
