Spiral Nebula: Difference between revisions

[[File: Spiral Nebula.jpeg|thumb|right|250px|The Spiral Nebula]] The Spiral Nebula- located approximately one hour away from [[Delta Vega I]] at maximum warp- is a Class-9 stellar nursery within the boundaries of the [[Sagittarius Reach]] and is predominantly comprised of hydrogen.. The nebula has sensor disrupting capabilities thanks to magnetascopic interference and is filled with stellar debris including small asteroids in an area known to the crew of the mercenary ship ‘’Eildyr’ as ‘the Stellar Graveyard’.

On New Years Day 2396, the starship [[USS Columbia]] entered the Spiral Nebula in pursuit of the mercenary vessel ‘’Eildyr’’ which had attacked them and [[Dehner Base]], stealing a number of Tkon relics from the latter. Tarius Kaironn’s crew had used the Spiral Nebula a number of times to evade would-be captors and this was to be no different. However, a plan was devised to essentially ‘smoke out’ the Eildyr. Although partially anticipated by Kaironn, the plan eventually succeeded with the Columbia’s crew turning the Nebula’s volatile properties against the ‘’Eildyr’’. During it’s brief time in the Nebula, Columbia charted a number of asteroids on the periphery, although one of these was eventually torn apart from an anti-matter explosion from a torpedo launched the mercenary vessel.
