Legends Canon version → Linked from 25 articles

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

The Red Nebula was a nebula located in Wild Space of the galaxy. The Red Nebula was slowly drifted away from the galaxy due to a cosmic cataclysm. It contained a single inhabited planet, a multitude of stars, and a deadly meteor field. The nebula boasted a race of unidentified humanoids with pointed ears, who protected their homeworld from asteroid bombardment with mystical red jewels.

A group of exiles led by Klysk attempted to steal and destroy the jewels but were thwarted by Han Solo. The jewels were eventually stolen and the planet's cities were destroyed by Domina Tagge and a group of bounty hunters, which intended to use them as a weapon against the Alliance to Restore the Republic. Leia Organa and Lando Calrissian, however, thwarted Tagge's plan and averted disaster.
