Unnamed Alpha and Beta Quadrant nebulae

The following is a list of unnamed Alpha and Beta Quadrant nebulae.

Amleth system nebula[]

Located in the Alpha Quadrant, this nebula was an emission nebula in the Cardassian Union. It was notable for its size – it encompassed the entire Amleth system. The planet Rakal and the Loval system were located in the same sector as this nebula.

In 2372, Dukat suggested that K'Temang's next Cardassian target could be Amleth Prime. Major Kira Nerys pointed out that the nebula would render his Bird-of-Prey's cloaking device useless. (DS9: "Return to Grace")

Andorian hideout nebula[]

This nebula was used by Shran and his forces to hide from the Vulcans. (ENT: "Kir'Shara")

Brown nebula in Cardassian space[]

This nebula was seen in Cardassian space. An escape pod containg Jake Sisko, Nog, and Dorian Collins flew towards this nebula after the destruction of the Valiant. (DS9: "Valiant")

Brown nebula visited by Discovery[]

This distinct reddish brown nebula, resembling clouds and lighted by periodic flashes of light, was visited by USS Discovery during the period it was under the command of Christopher Pike. The ship cleared it while Pike and Michael Burnham discussed Spock's knowledge of the Red burst phenomenon. (DIS: "New Eden")

Cardassian dark matter nebula[]

This dark matter nebula was located in Cardassian space and contained at least one planet.

In 2374, it was located near a ketracel-white facility destroyed by Captain Sisko. The ship Captain Sisko used was destroyed when it was attacked by two additional Jem'Hadar fighters that caused the already ship to crash on the planet within the nebula. Sisko and his crew, along with the Vorta Keevan eventually were rescued. (DS9: "A Time to Stand", "Rocks and Shoals")

Cardassian blue and red nebula[]

This nebula existed near Cardassia Prime. (DS9: "Tribunal")

Cardassian blue nebula[]

In 2371, Tom Riker took the USS Defiant into a nebula to hide the ship from Cardassian warships after Kira Nerys sabotaged the cloaking device. (DS9: "Defiant")

Data's dream nebula[]

This nebula was seen in a dream by Data in 2369. (TNG: "Birthright, Part I")

Epsilon IV nebula[]

Captain Ransom once hid from a Klingon Bird-of-Prey for three days in a nebula near Epsilon IV. (VOY: "Equinox, Part II")

Enterprise-E nebula[]

This nebula located in Federation space was traversed by the USS Enterprise-E in 2373, shortly before it was assigned to patrol the Romulan Neutral Zone after the Borg sent a cube to Earth. (Star Trek: First Contact)

Kovaalan nebula[]

This nebula, located in the Delphic Expanse, contained a the terminus of a subspace corridor and was controlled by the Kovaalans. In 2154, Enterprise attempted to access the subspace corridor within the nebula to rendezvous with Degra, but was forced to fight with the Kovaalan starships in the nebula. While Enterprise managed to escape, the damage inflicted on its impulse manifold caused it to emerge in 2037 when it came out of the other terminus of the corridor. Enterprise remained in the expanse for the following 117 years, until it encountered the past version of itself. This Enterprise helped its past counterpart reach the corridor without traveling to the early 21st century. Instead, it rendezvous with Degra's ship early, thus negating the alternate version of the past in which it time traveled. (ENT: "E²")

Magenta nebula[]

In 2374, a Dominion fleet gathered near this magenta nebula to counter Operation Return. (DS9: "Favor the Bold")

Red nebula[]

Some time after Spock fled Starbase 5, USS Discovery followed Spock's shuttle, by then piloted by a section 31 operative into a red nebula containing hydrogen. (DIS: "Saints of Imperfection")

Suliban nebula[]

This deep red nebula was located near Paraagan II and contained a Suliban helix.

In 2152, the Cabal captured Enterprise and took it to this nebula after the Cabal destroyed mining colony on Paraagan II. After Enterprise faked a warp core breach, the Suliban towed the ship out of the nebula and it escaped. (ENT: "Shockwave, Part II")
