Freespace 2

[40sTheme]

Does anyone know what the nebula you fight in is called? I've looked everywhere and replayed the game twice trying to figure out.
Figured I would use the wealth of insight that is Anandtech.

All I know that it's beyond the Gamma Draconis jump node.

It does not have an official name, as it's unknown where it actually is. It's been suggested that it's either the crab or lupus nebula, but there is nothing canon that indicates it has any name other then the nebula.

Neb Ulor

 

[CP5670]

There has been some debate over that in the FS2 community, but there is nothing canonical about it in the game. The only time you get any indication of its location is on Bosch's computer in one of the movies, which suggests that it's somewhere far away, although the nodemap distances don't really correlate with real ones.

Darn.

I wanted to relate it to other parts of space.
Strange that they left it nameless.

If they had given it a made up name, it wouldn't really help you position it anywhere.

It's speculated by Bosch to be millions if not billions of light years from earth. It may not even have had a standard name - at that distance, it might have been invisible.
