The '''Jenatris Cloud''' was discovered several hundred years ago by [[Jenatris, Hanol|Hanol Jenatris]], an astronomer from Alpha Centauri. The Cloud is really a combination of hundreds of small nebulae and odd subspace anomalies concentrated within this area of space for some as yet undiscovered reason. Various types of radiation and subspace friction make the Cloud prone to plasma and ion storms, causing it to be a highly dangerous place to be, moreso in some places than the [[ma:Badlands|Badlands]] area near [[ma:Bajor|Bajor]]. The density of particles present, the radiation, and the storms also make the Cloud very difficult to traverse. Sensors will only function up to a half a light year at best, and even that is highly spotty. Communications are impossible outside of a few hundred thousand kilometers. Thankfully for those wishing to travel through the Cloud, the [[Jenatris Corridor]] (though slightly indirect) does run from the [[ma:UFP|Federation]] side of the Cloud to the opposite side. | The '''Jenatris Cloud''' was discovered several hundred years ago by [[Jenatris, Hanol|Hanol Jenatris]], an astronomer from Alpha Centauri.

Communications are impossible outside of a few hundred thousand kilometers, and in some areas, radiation interference and particle density is so severe that forming a warp field is impossible and shields can't be raised.

The Cloud, although a dangerous place to be, is thought by many to be a place of incredible beauty. Hues of gold predominate, with strands of fuchsia and royal blue, and other soft colors accenting and highlighting the swirling mass of particles and gases. The internal storms add a subtle sparkle, which gives some people the impression that the Cloud is almost alive. | The Cloud, although a dangerous place to be, is thought by many to be a place of incredible beauty.
