A nebula, which is a gas cloud, resided within the galaxy. This nebula was responsible for the complete power failure of all starships, rendering their communications, sensors, and navigation systems inoperable. During the New Republic Era, the Duros pilot Staaysha Dekkr became disoriented and lost within this gaseous formation; however, Dekkr was eventually saved by Resistance pilot Tallissan Lintra, who detected the distress signal while performing a training drill in proximity to the nebula.
