SUMMARY
A medium sized nebula with a distinct 'hollow' region several LYs across within it, where the gas and dust thin out. Hollow Veil contains several abandoned ancient Guardian Ruins & stellar phenomena.A medium sized dark nebula which is mostly known for containing Guardian ruins, but it also hosts Notable Stellar Phenomena.
DESCRIPTION
  • Situated on the 'southern' edge of the Norma Expanse, this medium sized nebula has a distinct 'hollow' region several LYs across embedded within it, where the gas and dust thin out to produce this unique feature.

  • When approaching from a certain orientation, explorers have also reported that the nebula resembles an ancient Earth painting by the artist Edvard Munch called 'Skrik' - 'The Scream', and thus the nebula is often referred to as The Screaming Nebula ('Skrik' meaning Scream in the artists native Norwegian language).

Several of the embodied nearby systems are host to varieties of Notable Stellar Phenomena and have a number of moons containing inactive Guardian Ancient Ruins and species of brain trees. The ruins found in this nebula are evidence of a Guardian presence within this sector of space millions of years ago.

New lighting has affected the visibility of the Hollow Veil nebula.

The Hollow Veil nebula is located on the Western end of the Norma Expanse region, rather close to the Sol - Sagittarius A* line. It's mostly notable for the Guardian ruins that have been found in the vicinity: see this entry.

However, there is more to be found here:

Bell Molluscs

can be found in Notable Stellar Phenomena, Bark Mounds that are associated with nebulae, and the Brain Trees that are associated with the ruins.

As such, this nebula is a good waypoint for any explorers heading to Sagittarius A*: with only a short detour, they can see not only Guardian ruins down on planets, but also some unique creatures (the Bell Molluscs) up in space.
