Summary:

The eastermost nebula in the galaxy, a large one with many colourful Lagrangian clouds around it.

Description:

The Eock Prau nebula is the easternmost one in the galaxy, situated in the middle of the Sagittarius-Carina galactic arm. Nebulae are sparse this far out in the galaxy: the closest to this one is nearly ten thousand light-years away.

The views out here can be spectacular, as this cloud is one of the largest, and it's 1,100 ly below the galactic plane, a height which offers a good view of the galaxy. While the density of stars tends to get thinner this far away from the plane, the Eock Prau nebula is simply large enough that this doesn't matter as much as it usually does: there are still plenty of systems not just around, but also inside the nebula proper, which can offer gorgeous views.

There are more opportunities for scenic backgrounds, however: systems containing colourful Lagrange Clouds should be relatively easy to find, as Notable Stellar Phenomena are extremely common in this region. Look for systems containing Peduncle Trees and Pods within 100 ly of the nebula's center, Eock Prau AA-A h31. There are six known colour variants of Lagrange Clouds here, plus the grey Proto-Lagrange Clouds.

Commanders going East from here will reach the edge of the galaxy in a few thousand light-years. However, if they wish to reach the most easterly stars, they will have to cross over to another galactic arm via a large detour. Heading from Dryman's Point to Tenebrae directly isn't an option, even with fleet carriers, so Commanders heading that way first have to go South through Hawking's Gap, then North-East through Lyra's Song, to reach the end of the galactic arm in Tenebrae.

We need an Odyssey screenshot of this nebula :D if anybody is interested, please let us know.
