Oranien Nebula

The Oranien Nebula was a small nebula located in the Oranien Sector.

Description
The Oranien Nebula was a small nebula that contained purple, pink, yellow, and red gases from the ancient star of Ora 0. A small field of asteroids was located in the nebula that contained a rare material that the Empire would later use.

History
Discovered in 102 BBY, the then unnamed sector became the Oranien Sector, and was mostly left alone until the discovery of large amounts of bronzium in the Oranien System, which was near the Oranien Nebula. With this pirates started to hide in the nebula for ambushes on cargo ships. During the age of the Empire, a weapons test involving the Imperial III-class star destroyer Resurgent went wrong when its octuple barbette duel purpose guns overheated and exploded, causing the ship to be crippled and it was left abandoned in space. 30 years later, the First Order would hide its ships inside the Nebula while it waited for the time to attack and take back the galaxy.
