Clawbeak Nebula

The Clawbeak Nebula was a nebula in the Metastraten sectorr, located roughly halfway between Metastrato Prime and Madooine.

Charged gases in the nebula prevented sensors from either functioning within the nebula, or scanning its interior. Due to this, it was frequently used as a hiding place by the less desirable elements of galactic society, including smugglers and pirates.

In 40 ABY, the Clawbeak Nebula was used by Reilly Carroll and the fleet of the Metastraten Government-in-Exile as a hiding place while repairs could be undertaken following the Fourth Battle of Shattermoon. It was here that they were ambushed by the fleet of the Free Colony of Metastrato Prime. Both sides suffered heavy losses.
