The Crow Nebula is one of four nebulae in the Sirius Sector which dominates most of the Kusari regions and the Sigma Border Worlds. It is a large, blue nebula made primarily of hydrogen, helium and oxygen gases. The gases found in the nebula are vital to the production of H-Fuel, and it is mined primarily by the Gas Mining Guild (operating in Sigma-13 and Sigma-19) and Samura Industries (operating in the Hokkaido system). However, the nature of the nebula renders sensors inoperable, making it easy to get lost or be ambushed. Plus, certain areas in the nebula have pockets rich in oxygen gas. These pockets are quite dangerous when a ship's engine ignites them, exploding with great force like mines. Despite these two factors and the danger of pirates, gas mining operations in this nebula are lucrative and essential regardless.
