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

Regions: Aridia, Kor-Azor, Genesis, Khanid

Description: In the Cauldron, the remnants of several supernovas render the space unstable and treacherous. Filled with volatile gravity currents and large chunks of stellar debris, the whole area is much too dangerous for space travel. The Cauldron lies between the Amarr Empire and the Khanid Kingdom and acts as a convenient natural barrier between the two hostile factions.

Travel note: Located primarily in hisec/lowsec, with some viewpoints being nullsec. Recommended Viewing System: Zinkon (Aridia) — A central access point along the border of the Cauldron region.

Domain Nebula

Regions: Domain, Tash-Murkon, Derelik, Devoid, The Bleak Lands

Description: Primary nebula of Amarr space.

Travel note: Located primarily in hisec. Recommended Viewing System: Amarr (Domain) — The imperial capital offers a natural vantage point within the heart of the Domain Nebula.

Malpais Nebula

Regions: Malpais, Perrigen Falls, Outer Passage, The Kalevala Expanse, Cobalt Edge

Travel note: Located deep in nullsec, specifically the very active drone regions. Recommended Viewing System: 5-9UXU (Malpais) — A recognizable entry system into the Drone Regions and a strong anchor for viewing the nebula.

Cloud Ring

Regions: Cloud Ring, Outer Ring, Placid, Pure Blind

Description: 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...

Travel note: Located deep in nullsec. Recommended Viewing System: Orvolle (Placid) — A practical staging point for observing Cloud Ring.

Lonetrek Nebula

Regions: Lonetrek, Black Rise, The Forge, The Citadel

Description: Primary nebula of Caldari space.

Travel note: Located in hisec; however, The Forge is a highly active hisec ganking region. Recommended Viewing System: Jita (The Forge) — A central Caldari hub within clear view of the Lonetrek Nebula.

File:DSN-5-Pure-Blind 5.png


Verge Vendor Nebula

Regions: Verge Vendor, Sinq Laison, Essence, Everyshore, Placid

Description: Primary nebula of Gallente space.

Travel note: Located in hisec. Recommended Viewing System: Dodixie (Sinq Laison) — A major Gallente trade hub within the Verge Vendor skybox.

File:DSN-6-Placid 6.png


Metropolis Nebula

Regions: Metropolis, Heimatar, Molten Heath, Derelik

Description: Primary nebula of Minmatar space.

Travel note: Located in hisec; however, most external viewpoints are in lowsec or nullsec. Recommended Viewing System: Rens (Heimatar) — A key Minmatar trade center positioned within the Metropolis Nebula.

File:DSN-7-Geminate 7.png


Caroline's Star

Regions: Visible throughout New Eden

Description: Caroline's Star is unique in that it can be seen anywhere in New Eden...

Travel note: Best viewing spots are located in nullsec. Recommended Viewing System: MTO2-2 (Venal) — One of the most striking nullsec vantage points for observing Caroline’s Star.

File:Carolines-Star-MTO2-2 8.png


Ginnungagap

Regions: Geminate, The Kalevala Expanse, Etherium Reach, Great Wildlands

Description: Ginnungagap is a huge black hole at the edge of Minmatar space. It is the largest black hole close to civilized space. The black hole has already rendered several solar systems close to it uninhabitable, but otherwise it is not considered to pose any great risk to inhabited space for the foreseeable future.

Travel note: Located in nullsec. Recommended Viewing System: 7Q-8Z2 (Great Wildlands) — A nearby system offering a dramatic perspective of the black hole.

File:Ginnungagap-Great-Wildlands 9.png


Jove Nebula

Regions: Venal, Tenal, Tribute, Vale of the Silent

Description: Primary nebula of Jove space.

Travel note: Located in nullsec. Recommended Viewing System: 6NJ8-V (Venal) — A stable access point within visual range of the Jove Nebula.

File:DSN-10-Tenal 10.png


Big Citadel Nebula

Regions: The Citadel, The Forge, Black Rise

Description: A small nebula separated from the Lonetrek Nebula by a dust lane.

Travel note: Located in hisec. Recommended Viewing System: Muvolailen (The Citadel) — A central system for observing the distinct Citadel sky separation.

File:DSN-11-The-Citadel 11.png


Little Citadel Nebula

Regions: The Citadel, The Forge, Black Rise, Essence

Description: A small nebula separated from the Lonetrek Nebula by a dust lane.

Travel note: Located in hisec. Recommended Viewing System: Aunenen (The Citadel) — Positioned to provide a clear contrast between the Lonetrek and Citadel nebulae.

File:DSN-12-The-Citadel 12.png


Cord of the Elements

Location: D-B7YK, Syndicate

Description: Triptik #027 Cord of the Elements

Travel note: Located in nullsec. Recommended Viewing System: D-B7YK (Syndicate) — The nebula’s defining system and natural expedition destination.

File:Cord-of-the-Elements-2 13.png


Trace Cosmos

Location: Gererique, Solitude

Description: Triptik #037 Duvolle Gravitational Observatory and Trace Cosmos

Travel note: Located in hisec, though access requires travel through lowsec or nullsec. Recommended Viewing System: Gererique (Solitude) — The observatory system itself provides the intended viewing experience.

File:Trace-Cosmos 14.png


Tenerifis Nebula

Regions: Tenerifis, Impass, Omist, Detorid

Travel note: Located in nullsec. Recommended Viewing System: Y-2ANO (Tenerifis) — A recognizable system within the core of the nebula.

File:DSN-15-Detorid 15.png


Scalding Pass Nebula

Regions: Scalding Pass, Great Wildlands, Wicked Creek, Immensea

Travel note: Located in nullsec. Recommended Viewing System: 6VDT-H (Scalding Pass) — A central system offering a strong perspective of the surrounding skybox.

File:DSN-16-Detorid 16.png


Pool of Radiance

Location: 6QBH-S, Stain

Description: Triptik #035 True Creations Pool of Radiance Research Lab

Travel note: Located in Stain, an extremely active nullsec region. Recommended Viewing System: 6QBH-S (Stain) — The site itself serves as the primary vantage point.

File:Pool-of-Radiance 17.png


Vapor Sea

Regions: Stain, Tash-Murkon, Querious, Impass, Period Basis, Paragon Soul, Immensea, Esoteria

Description: Vapor Sea, also known as Crib of Stars, is a melding pot of gaseous clouds where new stars are being born. Although new stars and solar systems are still millions of years away, the area is of great interest to scientists. The lack of gravity wells makes it impossible to create stargates anywhere near the area.

Travel note: Located in nullsec; however, it can be seen from certain southern lowsec regions. Recommended Viewing System: HED-GP — A commonly traveled southern nullsec route offering a dramatic perspective toward the Vapor Sea.
