The Cauldron Nebula, situated in the Outer Rim Territories' Corva sector, was a nebula. This nebula comprised seven blue supergiant stars and contained the Eol Sha system. A colony was established in this system to facilitate a mining operation. The plan involved using ramjet mining ships to extract precious gases from the nebula.
Kyp Durron, a rogue Jedi apprentice, sought revenge on Imperial Admiral Natasi Daala in 11 ABY. He employed the Sun Crusher superweapon to trigger the ignition of the nebula's seven stars, aiming to eliminate Daala and the remnants of her fleet. The resulting supernovae led to the destruction of the Cauldron Nebula.
The name of nebula orchids originated from this nebula.
