The Walker Nebula is one of four nebulae in the Sirius Sector. It is a large nebula composed of yellow clouds with certain areas containing pockets of asteroids rich in minerals like silver, copper, berrylium and diamonds. It dominates the southern region of Sirius, encompassing most of Rheinland and the Omega Border Worlds.

Information
The clouds of the Walker Nebula are mostly composed of sulphur gases, which give it its distinct yellow color. In some parts of the nebula, asteroid fields contain rich mineral resources. Such fields are composed of rock or lava asteroids. The nebula's dense composition blocks most scanners, a common hazard to pilots.

Nebulae
The most notable area of the nebula is the region within the Omega-7 system. The system itself is deep in the Walker Nebula, lying on the route between the Stuttgart system and Omega-3. It's rich deposits of silver and copper are mined by Kruger, Daumann and the IMG.

List of Walker Nebulae

 * Omega-7 Walker Nebula: See above.
 * Ostnebel: A cloud in the Stuttgart system frequented by the Red Hessians
 * Westnebel: A cloud in the Stuttgart system that is home to the LWB (Landwirtrechtbewegung, literally "Farmers' Rights Movement") base, Darmstatd
 * Schwefelnebel: This cloud in the Dresden System has a field of lava asteroids that yield diamonds, which are mined by Kruger Minerals
 * Daumann Lavafeld: This cloud in the Dresden System was actually formed by pollution from the Daumann smelter, Leipzig. The asteroid field within is mined out except for some trace deposits of copper and berrylium.
 * Giftnebel: Located in the Dresden system, this cloud is composed of powerful corrosive acid that can burn through a ship's hull in seconds. Despite the hazardous nature of the cloud, the Red Hessians have made their home here at their main base, Vogtland.
