Class K nebula

A class K nebula in the Delta Quadrant.

In Federation Starfleet's alphabetic nebula classification[1], a class K nebula was a type of gas cloud in interstellar space. (VOY episode: "The Voyager Conspiracy")

History[]

Chakotay, 2377

Chakotay suggests a detour to a class K nebula.

A class-K nebula was missed by the wayward Federation Intrepid-class starship USS Voyager on stardate 53329 in the year 2376 on the ship's return trip to the Alpha Quadrant. First officer Lieutenant Commander Chakotay suggested to Captain Kathryn Janeway to investigate the nebula. Janeway considered it a significant detour for a minor nebula, to which Chakotay replied with a reminder that the were still explorers. Janeway agreed to the detour. The ship changed course again when Voyager detected readings emanating from Mister Tash's graviton catapult, ultimately giving Chakotay's nebula a miss. (VOY episode: "The Voyager Conspiracy")

Dalmine sector 2376

Stellar neighborhood of a class K nebula in 2376.

Voyager passed by the nebula after visiting the Dalmine system on stardate 53340, the Kartella star system shortly after, and finally after reaching the graviton catapult. (ST reference: Star Charts)

Dalmine sector 2379

Stellar neighborhood of a class K nebula in 2379.

When Starfleet returned to the Delta Quadrant in 2379, the class K nebula between the Dalmine sector[2] was one of the areas of interest. (Star Trek Adventures module: Delta Quadrant Sourcebook)
