Stellar neighborhood of a class-9 nebula in 2379.
Voyager passed through the nebula after visiting the Garenor system on stardate 51212, and the Nassordin system on stardate 51220. (ST reference: Star Charts)
When Starfleet returned to the Delta Quadrant in 2379, the class-9 nebula between the Alsuran Empire and Krenim Imperium in the Alsuran sector[2] was one of the areas of interest. (Star Trek Adventures module: Delta Quadrant Sourcebook)
Alternate timeline[]
Stellar neighborhood of a class-9 nebula in 2374.
In an alternate timeline where USS Voyager become embroiled in a war with the Krenim Imperium, the heavily damaged Intrepid-class starship sought a temporary refuge from the Krenim in the purple-colored class-9 nebula within Krenim space.
Due to hull breaches, the nebula filled some of the sections within the ship. After repairs ensured Voyager would stay spaceworthy, Captain Kathryn Janeway decided to venture into open space again, to avoid taking up permanent residence in the class-9 nebula. (VOY episode: "Year of Hell")
