Iospic

Iospics are a sapient species of spacecraft that evolved in the globular cluster Moshar. The species derived from a sublight self-replicating exploration probe sent out by a polity known as the Intransigence approximately 15 million years ago. Some time after the disappearance of their masters, the probes overcame genetic limitations on their mutability and replication rate, eventually attaining sapience and developing their own unique civilisation. The total number of active Iospics in the Galaxy is unknown, however the vast majority are known to be within the imperial elector of the Iospic Distributance, which has a population of 304,231,582,104.
