Located in the Alpha Quadrant, the Tong Beak Nebula was an interstellar gas cloud located near the border of the Cardassian Union.
In 2373, there were reports of Jem'Hadar activity inside the nebula. As a result, General Martok ordered the IKS Rotarran to go around the nebula on its mission to find the IKS B'Moth, adding a day to their journey. Martok cited orders from the Klingon High Council not to seek combat, although his decision was unpopular with the Rotarran crew. (DS9: "Soldiers of the Empire")
This nebula's quadrant of origin is inferred based on the position of the Cardassian Union as seen in the star chart appearing in the Star Trek: Picard episode "Maps and Legends".
