The name Sauúti is taken from the word “Sauti” which means “voice” in Swahili. Sauúti is a five-planet system orbiting a binary star, rooted deeply in a variety of African mythology, language, and culture. Sauúti includes science-fiction elements of artificial intelligence and space flight, including both humanoid and non-humanoid creatures. It also weaves in an intricate magic system based on sound, oral traditions, and music.
