The Gon'Cra Nebula is an artifical nebula in the Gon'Cra Sector of the Alpha Quadrant, home to the heavily industrialized and polluted Class-M homeworld of the Kentari - New Kentar. It was added with the expansion of the Alpha Quadrant in Season Twelve: Reckoning on January 26, 2017.
System Description
The Gon'Cra Nebula was recently discovered by Lukari long-distance probes. Preliminary scans indicate the presence of inhabited planetary mass within the conflicts of the nebula.
Missions involved
“Mirrors and Smoke”: The player, accompanied by L.S.S. Reskava, travels to Gon'Cra Nebula and learns of the existence of a new Kentari homeworld. Lukari Captain Kuumaarke and Kentari Prime Minister Tuulemaan set aside differences between their people and begin establishing diplomatic relations.
Other involvement
- "Featured Episode: Mirrors and Smoke": Aboard the L.S.S. Reskava, chief science officer Becaal informs Captain Kuumaarke that he has uncovered evidence that the Gon'Cra Nebula is artificial, likely having been created within the past 300 years. They speculate that the navigational hazards posed by an artificial nebula would make it an ideal place to conceal something, as most traffic would avoid the area. Kuumaarke decides to inform the Lukari's allies, and investigate further.
Notes
- After first contact with the Lukari in “Mirrors and Smoke”, the system previously remained listed as "Gon'Cra Nebula" on the galaxy map despite the presence of the Kentari civilization. This was changed to reflect the discovery of the Kentari System post-Mirrors and Smoke with the release of “Melting Pot” and Season 14: Emergence on October 3, 2017.
