Named by noted Intaki astronomer Alnadil Jouber, Cloud Ring is notable for its central constellations, which are encompassed by a massive ring of dust and gas expelled from an ancient stellar catastrophe of colossal proportions. The first scientist to observe and detail this phenomenon from observatories in the Placid region, Jouber went on to theorize that analysis of the ring's extent, density, and rate of expansion could give insight as to what monumental event could have caused such a disturbance and when it might have occurred.

He further theorized that such an explosion might have had far-reaching gravitic effects that could destabilize wormholes, and might have been a contributing factor in the collapse of the EVE Gate. While later researchers have discounted many of his ideas, the validity of his theories has yet to be categorically disproven. It is noteworthy that the Sisters of EVE maintain several bases in Placid, from which scientific expeditions to study the Cloud Ring are coordinated.

TripTik146 Expedition Highlights

Introduction

See all 18 interstellar skybox nebulae across New Eden.

While these nebulae span multiple regions and can be observed from many systems, each entry below includes a recommended viewing system to provide explorers with a clear destination and shared vantage point for experiencing the phenomenon firsthand.

Locations

Across known space, there are 19 major phenomena visible in the skies of New Eden. One is the EVE Gate, and the remaining 18 are interstellar nebulae. This TripTik will guide you to each of these 18 nebulae so you can experience and appreciate their beauty firsthand.

The Cauldron
