Witch-Head-Nebula

Witch Head Nebula

The Witch Head Nebula, also known as IC 2118, is a nebula in the Inner Orion Spur approximately 890 ly away from Sol.

History

For years, the Witch Head Nebula was a popular tourist destination for its dramatic vistas. On April 11, 3303, Witch Head Science Centre, a science outpost Asteroid Base, began operations in the HIP 23759 system in the nebula.

The region remained quiet until July 11, 3305, when Professor Alba Tesreau of Aegis Research announced that an initiative to locate additional Thargoid Barnacles had uncovered new sites there. The Alliance, Empire, and Federation each launched concurrent campaigns to gather resources to be used in the construction of new Starports and Megaships in the Witch Head Nebula to quickly exploit the local Meta-Alloy supply.[1]

On July 25, as six Ocellus Starports and an Outpost arrived in the Witch Head Nebula to begin the colonization phase of The Enclave initiative, Thargoid forces immediately attacked them, ostensibly taking action to defend their territory. Professor Tesreau called on independent pilots to defend the stations, or else the pioneer factions in charge of the colonization effort, Federal Acquisition Corp, The Imperial Exemplars, and Alliance Expeditionary Pact, would be forced into retreat and access to the new Meta-Alloy sources in the region would consequently be cut off.[2]

The response to the request was so impressive that the Pilots Federation opened a new Surface Port with a shipyard, Jackrock Outpost, in the Witch Head Sector LC-V c2-10 system less than a day later as a reward for pilots fighting in the region.[3] All six systems were pronounced clear of Thargoid Incursions by the end of July 27.[4] On July 31, Admiral Aden Tanner confirmed the victory, noting that humanity's colonial assets had been firmly established in the region. Professor Tesreau added that the Alliance, Empire, and Federation had officially declared the Witch Head Nebula to be a human enclave that they would share equally. She also requested the galactic community's assistance in repairing the nebula's starports so that they could begin harvesting the local barnacles.[5]
