The Invirian Ascendancy (known simply as Invirian) is a collective of star systems located northwest of the galactic centre in the Center Rim, and is an enclave of the Empyrium. To the wider galaxy, it is an unchartered region located in what is known as the Alkidian Superanomaly, believed to be inaccessible due to the presence of voidspace anomalies that prevent FTL travel. It contains 26 member systems, and the capital world is Inviria.
Invirian Space is governed by the flow of memoria, which is opposite to orgone energy, and which Minerva termed the "energy of consciousness." Essentially, the entire collective is located within an impenetrable "bubble" of memoria from which it cannot leave, as the laws of the universe do not function as they do on the outside. As a result, Invirian society is on the verge of a Malthusian catastrophe, with skyrocketing populations and dwindling resources putting pressure on the collective to escape Invirian Space. The authoritarian military junta that rules Invirian exercises its power to alleviate the effects of the impending disaster, while also looking for a method of freeing the population.
Invirian is responsible for instigating the Laconia-Empyrium war, having been the mastermind behind the Sentor Banquet Incident while also providing Laconia immense logistical and materiel support through unknown means.
