Phase I (Inferno): October 20th 2017 - January 1st 2018
Infrared (previously known as Inferno) was founded in late October 2017 by Rustbound with the help of his good friend Retronautx. Retronautx invited a handful of friends to join the team, including Metrez and IHackedWalmart. The founders recruited members JoSaZa and Kilmax at spawn to help Inferno grow. The Astral Order (previously known as Eden) sought allyship with Inferno which Inferno agreed to. However, Astral noticed Inferno was an aggressive group. Due to fear of negative future repercussions with being associated with such a group, the allyship was cancelled. Once Inferno had about 5-10 members, they erected a headquarters approximately 500k blocks out in the overworld. The headquarters lasted a few weeks until a conflict begun between VoCo and Emperium (known as the Vo-Perium war).

Vo-Perium war inolvement
A member from the Emperium, Racewizard was insiding Inferno and obtained a high rank within the group compromising their HQ. In retaliation to this Inferno made an alliance with VoCo to help fight Emperium, the Vo-Perium war only lasted three weeks with little actually being done. Emperium did manage to send many insiders into Inferno using the same tactics as they used on Visionary, several Inferno bases got griefed, most notably their HQ and Paragon (a base that Inferno claimed). After the Vo-Perium war ended, VoCo and Emperium put their differences aside and made an alliance but Emperium remained hostile to Inferno, causing them to end their alliance with VoCo.

End of Phase I
Around this time, Retronautx and Rustbound were arguing on the future direction of the group. Due to frustration, Rustbound left Inferno and placed Retronautx in charge. Due to insiding, griefing and lack of player activity, Retronautx called for reforms which led to the birth of Infrared.

Phase II (Infrared): January 2nd 2018 - Present
Infrared was a fresh start after the fall of Inferno, a new discord was set up and the old members from Inferno joined as well as many other players, they grew quite rapidly in the first two months of 2018 and accepting many Peacekeepers. The Peacekeepers had gone quite inactive sometime when the Unification period began, IHackedWalmart invited the remaining active Peacekeepers to join the new group (including Pandasauce, the leader of PK). Infrared also sought vengeance on Emperium for completely destroying Inferno and making them have to start over again.

United Group Embassy vs. the Alpha Alliance
Around the time Infrared was formed, the Emperium had started the United Group Embassy (UGE for short) with over 15 groups joining with the goal of having fun, building and seeking a better future for 2b2t. Infrared was invited by Emperium to join the UGE putting their differences apart, Retronaut acquired the coordinates to their first group base, the 1st Physical Embassy. Retronaut wanted to grief the base and IHackedWalmart carried out the grief giving Infrared lots of negative attention. After some time passed the 3rd Physical Embassy was leaked by Lotus and Fluff of Highland, Infrared and Highland then became allies due to a common enemy. For about a month or two Infrared and Highland would work together in attacking UGE bases and killing members at spawn. Sometime in late Febuary the Peacekeepers would also ally with the two groups due to Infrared's very strong ties to PK, this made a triple alliance and a discord was made for the three groups to interact together, this was named the Alpha Alliance (AA), their goal was to take down the UGE.

Later on a newly formed small group named Virus would join AA as well as Team Rainbow. AA never built any bases on the main map together and would only let the trusted members from all three groups join, AA was primarily a griefing and pvp group. Battles between UGE and AA were fought many times at spawn, however most of this was done in the Infrared discord rather than AA discord. UGE became very inactive sometime late March 2018 when the tempmap started, on these tempmaps the AA thrived and built several shelters and bases together to survive attacks from enemies. On the third of the the three tempmaps the 6th Incursion began after AntVenom made his video on 2b2t, the 6th incursion had many groups in it that were enemies with AA, a new threat for the alliance had began.

6th Incursion / Fall of AA / Cold war
When the main map went back up after quite some time both AA and the incursion had all their gear and stashes to fight eachother with, AA never posed much of a real threat to the incursion and after the first week or so of the Incursion the AA fell apart due to too much in fighting between the leaders. Things also began to fall apart for Infrared and Highland and their strong alliance was lost. Around this time, Emperium's strongest ally, the Asylum disbanded after City (leader of Asylum) began arguing with some Emperium members and he also became friends with Retronaut, leading to Emperium distrusting him. When the Incursion began to build a wall 2kx2k, small sabotage attempts to take down the wall began, most notably when IHackedWalmart, IHackdWindowsXP and Armorsmith withered the northern wall starting a huge battle, Infrared were outnumbered 20 to 1 and had to retreat. Not much happened after that between Infrared and the Incursion after that.

After the incursion fights between Infrared and Emperium were fading rapidly but they still kept arguing with one another. Infrared griefed a Spawn Mason base starting unfriendly relations between each other. Tensions with VoCo (their former ally) began after the SIG (Spawn Infrastructure Group) started building at 0,0 nether, IHackedWalmart later withered this platform starting some bitterness but nothing too big. Armorsmith held a presidential election for his "country", Armorstate, Retronaut ran for president and won the election, they set up a discord for a selection of Infrared members and Armorsmith to work on a base together. However, this did not go as planned and coordinates were leaked before construction would start, not long later Infrared betrayed Armorsmith because of how demanding annoying and demanding he was. Infrared managed to get over 60 members and began working on bases and kept camping at spawn. The main Freelancer base was discovered and griefed by Infrared, everyone defending the HQ was either killed or had to log, Infrared became the first real enemy of the Freelancers and they declared war, however nothing was done and anything is yet to be done.

Vo-Perium vs Infrared
Retronaut found a VoCo base and griefed it, Coltsnid was also at the base and logged. Afterwards in the Vo-perium discord Coltsnid was talking to two leaders of Emperium about taking Infrared down and making them reform again. After Infrared's conflict with Emperium had almost died, this new war completely revived it. Not so long after the war began 3 Infrared members griefed a VoCo "base" (it was just a tower, a vortex and some wheat farms, no stashes or anything). Infrared has gone into a temporary lockdown so they can find a way to keep the insiders from getting any important bases etc. Infrared has also been working on positive relations with Highland again and members joined Infrared's ranks again.

Several other Heat members....

Relations

 * Rainbow - Strong Allies due to a friendship between Retronaut and Brayin (leader of rainbow).
 * Highland - The two groups were once allies due to a common enemy, however Highland betrayed Infrared and the two groups are """somewhat neutral""". As of recent Highland members have been accepted into Infrared's ranks again and they now have positive relations once again, however not allies because Highland isn't a faction.
 * The Eyes of the Zodiac - Allie
 * The Guardians - Allies
 * Emperium - Infrared sided with VoCo during the Vo-perium war, since then Infrared and Emperium have not gotten along and when Infrared griefed the United Group Embassy a war broke out which is still ongoing.
 * Astral Order - Neutral
 * All UGE groups - Infrared griefed the UGE hq making enemies with them and all the groups in the embassy.
 * VoCo - VoCo and Infrared were once allied during the Vo-perium war. The two groups are no longer allies now due to VoCo allying with Emperium after the war. They are now neutral.
 * Soviets - Enemies due to their somewhat alliance with Emperium.
 * Unidad - Infrared and Unidad were once allies, they are now no longer after Infrared griefed the Embassy.
 * PK - PK is very inactive but many active 2b2t players who are in PK joined infrared and two co leaders of the group (IHackedWalmart and IHackdWindowsXP) are in PK. The two groups played together on the 2b2t tempmaps during the Alpha Alliance, they are strong allies.
 * Asylum - Infrared and Asylum were enemies due to many of it's members being in Emperium and also because of City (the leader of asylum) would constantly shittalk and annoy infrared members. Retronaut and City later became friends and have since become more friendly (Asylum is also dead now).
 * Eternity - Eternity was insided by infrared with great ease (due to Ultimate21Alex's stupididy) and griefed their spawn base.
 * Freelancers - Retronaut and a few infrared members griefed the Freelancer hq making Infrared the first official enemy of the freelancers. The Freelancers declared war on Infrared but infrared don't care.
 * Don Fuer - Due to IHackdWindowsXP's hatred for D_loaded and several other Donfuerians and the bitterness between PK and Donfuer, the two groups are enemies.
 * Spawn Masons - Relations between these two groups have been relatively neutral, when Inferno were allies with VoCo and the Masons being a group spawned after the "disbandment" of the Vortex Coalition technically that would make the two allies. Recently Infrared griefed a Spawn Mason base making the two unfriendly.
