Iriat
More actions
Template:!Galaxy InfoboxIriat is a former satellite galaxy of Florathel that has since merged, located in the Paleas 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, Iriat is not very well known. However, the Oralat Virtual Utopia, its largest native civilization, lends it some fame by being a uniquely computer-based society.
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 were long ago controlled by the Oralat Virtual Utopia, and probably will remain that way for the forseeable future.
History
MUST REDO
This isolation abruptly ended when several probes were sent into it by the United Nations of the Florathel Galaxy. These probes found a 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 Iriat 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.
