In Federation Starfleet's numeric nebula classification[1], a class 17 nebula was a type of blue gas cloud in interstellar space. (VOY episode & novelization: Flashback)
History and specifics[]
A class-17 nebula was encountered by the wayward Federation Intrepid-class starship USS Voyager on stardate 50126.4 in 2373 during the ship's return trip to the Alpha Quadrant. The class-17 contained 7.000 parts per million of sirillium. In composition and appearance, the class-17 remined Lieutenant Tuvok of the class 11 nebula, which he had encountered in the Beta Quadrant while serving as an ensign aboard the USS Excelsior in 2293. (VOY episode & novelization: Flashback)
Voyager passed by the nebula after visiting the Takar system on stardate 50074, and the Intrepid-class ship continued to the Heva system, arriving on stardate 50156. (ST reference: Star Charts)
When Starfleet returned to the Delta Quadrant in 2379, the class-17 nebula between the space claimed by the Kazon Collective and the Swarm was one of the areas of interest. (Star Trek Adventures module: Delta Quadrant Sourcebook)
