Near the beginning of intelligent life in the region, its stars were impacted by an enormous cloud of natural unrefined [[Marceum]], erasing the vast majority of the zone's nine stars from existence, leaving only [[Erinor System|Erinor]], [[Meere System|Meere]], and [[Masran System|Masran]] fully intact, each burning a harsh, forboding green. Due to its distance and lack of intelligent species, Morid remains unclaimed by any nation. |

Modern-day Morid consists of a large central region known simply as the Desolation of Morid, filled with the scattered remains of erased stars and planets and centered on the bizarre structure of [[Malkathus]]. Beyond this, at the edge of the region, lie three star systems, the [[Erinor System|Erinor]], [[Meere System|Meere]], and [[Masran System|Masran]] systems, in which lie the only remaining evidence for the region's history. As such, these systems are rich archaeological sites for the ancient [[Moridian High Command]]. |

===Formative Years=== |

To this day, nomads continue to mimic the society of the MHC, although not intentionally. Morid has gathered many asteroids, comets, and dust once a part of other star systems. Left alone for billions of years, this dust may become a small arm in Cosmoria itself. Nomads gather what they need, whether volatile ices or nutrients for crops, before fleeing to another region. These mostly [[Norlins|Norlin]] nomads never cooperate with xenologists, but those captured during military actions or by over-zealous researchers usually report the same reasoning for this behavior. They stay in small groups and attempt to be as invisible as possible lest another group destroys them. With resources so scarce in this region, various bands, clans, or hoards have grown mistrustful of one another. Remaining in one place for too long runs the risk of encountering a stronger group and, while they usually are peaceful encounters, risking a hostile encounter is far too dangerous. |
|||
The stars of Morid are theorized to have formed roughly 5.5 billion years ago alongside the rest of Cosmoria. Presumably, the first life in the galaxy started around this time, and no one has any idea what it was like because it died immediately. After this, life formed and stuck around, slowly evolving in complexity and culminating in intelligence ~10 million years ago. |

The Moridian High Command had figured out a way to unify the various peoples of Morid, but how exactly it managed to break through this seemingly natural barrier is unknown.

Since the Moridian High Command, however, there have been few nations willing to invest the great deal of resources it would take to keep this region under control.

Roughly 9 million years ago, a species arose on the planet [[Dalkor]]. This species rapidly expanded and took control of all the other worlds and species in the galaxy, forming the [[Moridian High Command]]. This nation is only known from archaeological evidence, as its bones were moldering by even the time of the first empires of Florathel, so virtually nothing is known about its governance. |

The High Command met its end when an enormous cloud of unrefined natural [[Marceum]] impacted the center of the region. The shockwaves spread through the thick clouds of dust between stars, reducing the stars and planets to atoms, and the atoms to nothing. The radiation severely irradiated much of the surrounding space, ensuring that no life would bloom even at the outer edges for millions of years. The heartland of the High Command, the [[Nekros System]], was completely gone, and modern scientists have had to extrapolate what this ancient nation was like from the ragged edges of its territory that managed to survive the impact. |

Morid
Between Florathel and Zalanthium
164670 Light Minutes (19800 AU)
Morid is a mostly empty region between Florathel and Zalanthium. While the region is mostly devoid of anything but a scattering of asteroids, these asteroids were the basis of an ancient civilization called the Moridian High Command which took advantage of the low gravity to spread across the entire region. Not much evidence has survived the ten million years between the MHC and today, but what does remain clues archeologists into a surprisingly advanced society for the time.
To this day, nomads continue to mimic the society of the MHC, although not intentionally. Morid has gathered many asteroids, comets, and dust once a part of other star systems. Left alone for billions of years, this dust may become a small arm in Cosmoria itself. Nomads gather what they need, whether volatile ices or nutrients for crops, before fleeing to another region. These mostly Norlin nomads never cooperate with xenologists, but those captured during military actions or by over-zealous researchers usually report the same reasoning for this behavior. They stay in small groups and attempt to be as invisible as possible lest another group destroys them. With resources so scarce in this region, various bands, clans, or hoards have grown mistrustful of one another. Remaining in one place for too long runs the risk of encountering a stronger group and, while they usually are peaceful encounters, risking a hostile encounter is far too dangerous.
The Moridian High Command had figured out a way to unify the various peoples of Morid, but how exactly it managed to break through this seemingly natural barrier is unknown. By studying existing nomads, xenologists have worked with archeologists to construct a more complete picture of this region's history. Since the Moridian High Command, however, there have been few nations willing to invest the great deal of resources it would take to keep this region under control. Scattered military bases from the UNF Navy represent the bulk of Morid's civilization, and even up to one percent of its population by the more conservative censuses.
