Defined in: src/astro/nebulae.ts:66

One catalogued nebula and where it sits in the galaxy.

A nebula is a volume, but the catalogue records a single reference point — the position of Nebula.system, the system it is catalogued at. Distances computed from it are therefore "distance to the catalogued system", not distance to the nebula's edge.

readonly name: string

Defined in: src/astro/nebulae.ts:72

Display name, e.g. "Witch Head Nebula". For procedurally-named nebulae this is usually the system name, sometimes with a community name appended in parentheses ("Aemonz WZ-Y e6771 (Lazurite Nebula)").

---

readonly regionId: number

Defined in: src/astro/nebulae.ts:91

Id of the galactic codex region the nebula sits in, 1–42.

Resolve it to a name with getCodexRegion from ./codex-region — that costs ~9 KiB of region metadata rather than the ~208 KiB lookup grid findCodexRegionAt needs.

---

readonly system: string

Defined in: src/astro/nebulae.ts:74

The in-game system the nebula is catalogued at, e.g. "Witch Head Sector IR-W c1-8".

---

readonly type: NebulaType

Defined in: src/astro/nebulae.ts:82

Which class of nebula this is.

---

readonly x: number

Defined in: src/astro/nebulae.ts:76

Galactic X of the catalogued system, in light-years (Sol at origin).

---

readonly y: number

Defined in: src/astro/nebulae.ts:78

Galactic Y of the catalogued system, in light-years (Sol at origin).

---

readonly z: number

Defined in: src/astro/nebulae.ts:80

Galactic Z of the catalogued system, in light-years (Sol at origin).
