Iriat is a small region on the far edge of Florathel, in the Elerad Sector. Iriat consists of the spehre of influence of the Xeros System and much of the interstellar space surrounding it. Its remoteness from colonized space lead to long journeys to the region, meaning that the the Xeros System and surrounding space are not well known. The Oralat Virtual Utopia, its largest native civilization, is a uniquely computer-based society created in the aftermath of the Years of Fire in the Oralat species' attempt to flee the conflict.

History

Civilization first graced Iriat when the Oralat fled from Isra during the Years of Fire. After their planet's surface was reduced to lava, the nascent species went on a long trek across Florathel, reaching the Xeros System in 4.19 Million BCE. Darakett was settled shortly after, but the pure horror of the Years of Fire created a political movement advocating for mind uploads and a virtual universe for all the Oralat. A simple matrioshka brain was assembled around Xeros, to be called the Gannet Matrioshka, and much of the population of Darakett uploaded themselves into it upon its completion.

The Oralat, the Xeros System, and the memory of ancient Isra faded from the universe with time. Xeros's position off the rim of Cosmoria with an artificial cloaking system built after the Great Trek shielding it from prying eyes made it difficult for anyone to find it. Their blissful isolation was shattered when an extragalactic explorer sent by Marakat came upon Toralaskis, a sub-brown dwarf drifting towards the edge of the Xeros cloaking system. Deep scans revealed the existence of Xeros, and soon contact was made via powerful communications beamed through the cloaking system.

Marakat, Seldrin-Darusa, and Saw-Yos sent small colonies out to Toralaskis, setting up a dialogue with the Oralat Virtual Utopia. After the War of Saiheran Succession, Saw-Yos ceded its colony at the moon of Naval to Marakat. Today, the Oralat remain in contact with the UNF, and their advanced age means that the nation has astounding levels of technology. Contact with this ancient nation has overall been to the betterment of everyone in Florathel.

-}}The '''Iriat Cloud''' is a former satellite galaxy of Florathel that has since merged, located in the Akris Arm. It has a small number of intelligent species, only two of which have achieved space travel. Because of this relative scarcity of intelligent life as well as its remoteness, the Iriat Cloud is not very well known. However, the [[Oralat Virtual Utopia]], its largest native civilization, lends it some fame by being the main inventor of the Spike Drive, a very efficient and very fast method of traveling huge distances, which has led to its adoption throughout Florathel neighborhood.

+== History==
-Due to its proximity to Florathel, the outer reaches of the cloud are lightly colonized by various powers in Florathel, including the [[Marakat Interstellar Union]] and the [[Frolira-Tuar Interstellar Commune]]. The Mid Shell and the Core are reserved for the developing civilizations there.

-== History ==
-The Iriat Cloud originally formed 34 million years ago. The cloud was mostly ignored for the majority of its history, until several probes were sent into it by the [[United Nations of Florathel]]. These probes found a [[Oralat Virtual Utopia|large civilization]] occupying the core of the cloud, but when attempts were made to communicate with it, no response came back. The cause of this silence was because the inhabitants of the civilization lived in virtual worlds on vast matrioshka brains, surrounding the majority of the stars in the core. However, an attempt eventually succeeds at communication, and a treaty was forged, allowing the civilization to keep to themselves in the core of the Iriat Cloud without interference, and other civilizations to colonize the outer reaches of the cloud that they didn't want anyway.
-After the signing of the treaty, the [[Marakat Interstellar Union]], [[Frolira-Tuar Interstellar Commune]], [[Economic Federation of Saleas]], and the now-dead [[Corroloa Empire]] pounced on the chance to colonize new space. During the [[War of Saiheran Succession]], the government of the EFS fled to their colony after the Sack of Saleas, mostly abandoning the main nation. After the end of the war, they returned to the heartland and rebuilt what had been destroyed, abandoning their colony. The colony was later annexed by the MIU, and the collapse of the [[Corroloa Empire]] gave their portion of the cloud to the Marakat.
-Today, the [[Oralat Virtual Utopia]] remains reclusive as ever, often going for months at a time without a single communication between them and the outside universe. The colonies have remained much the same as they were at the end of the [[War of Saiheran Succession]], except for a new plot claimed by the [[Akradax Collective]].
