The Il'stagonians were first encountered by the Sivadians in April, 3007. The Il'stagonians could be classed as a nomadic race, with no planets currently within the Empire. Majority of the ships that were encountered at first were the remnants of the Royal Il'stagonian Imperial Navy and refugee vessels that were able to flee from the war that tore the empire apart. It is believed that the Il'stagonian royal family is on board the flagship, RIINS Misti Namda.
