Obatta Cluster

The Obatta Cluster was a stellar cluster, a group of stars with an associated yellow nebula located in the Gavara sector in the galaxy's Gamma Quadrant. 

Location
The cluster lay circa 70.000 light-years from Sol. 

The Teplan system and Jenkata Nebula were situated in the stellar cluster's general vicinity. 

The Gavara system lay near or within the boundaries of the Obatta Cluster. 

History
In 2372, Major Kira Nerys directed her runabout into the Jenkata Nebula to avoid detection by the Jem'Hadar. This led to first contact between the Federation and the Teplans when Kira and Doctor Julian Bashir landed their runabout on Teplan I.
