Overview

One of 13 warlord "Territories" making up the Empire of Man — a Japanese-heritage warlord faction/culture, controlling several hundred planets near the Confluence Region, led by Tiko Amata.

✅ Like 11 of the other 12 non-Drake Territories, Io Sei is amorphous: it claims clear territorial borders, but has no defined capital, and remains internally unstable, with various competing factions still active within it — unlike Drake Federation, the largest and most organized of the 13.

In May 2020, Io Sei sent a small fleet through the Confluence Region into the Snickers Galaxy — confronted and turned back by MACOFS's Starfleet.

Note on status: currently classified as a Faction rather than a Starnation — per the creator, Io Sei and the other EOM constituent warlord states could eventually be developed into full Starnations, but that hasn't happened yet.
