Ultima Online: Samurai Empire, also known as UO:SE, is Ultima Online's sixth expansion.
The expansion introduced several Asian themed elements into UO. Mostly, but not exclusively, these were drawn from Japanese mythology and folklore, and seem to reflect no small amount of research on part of the UO team.
Two new skills were introduced: Bushido, the skill of the Samurai profession, and Ninjitsu, the skill of the Ninja profession. A new map, known as the Tokuno Islands was introduced. Official fiction held that the Tokuno Islands was the same map that was known in the old single-player Ultima games as the "Land of the Feudal Lords."
