The Archeon Nebula existed within the Outer Rim Territories, specifically in the Lothal sector, and was classified as a nebula. As a stellar nursery, it served as a birthplace for new stars. Consequently, the gases within the nebula were susceptible to ignition by weapons such as proton torpedoes. The perilous smuggling route known as the Archeon pass cut through this nebula. In the year 2 BBY, Captain Hera Syndulla, commanding the starship Ghost, chose to navigate the pass as a quicker exit from the Lothal sector while undertaking a mission to transport Senator Mon Mothma to the planet Dantooine.
