The Relios Nebula
With Relios above you, you can't steer wrong. Follow Relios towards Andial, you'll always find homeA bright green nebula visible across most of the Mizar System. It has long stood as a reference point for travel. The nebula, along with the bright red star Andial, form a constellation known as the Blade of the Old One. Legend holds that the Nebula once held the Blade of the Old One, a mystical weapon that the Old One used to sunder the First Born of much of the ancient galaxy. The Blade itself is said to reside near the star Andial. Relios is easily distinguished by it's bright coloring and distinctive shape. Through a telescope, it appears to be shaped like drawn out tube, wide at one end and tapered on the other. Several thousands of young stars are visible across the length of the Nebula, and are refered to as diamonds. The celestial marker has long been prayed to or wished upon by sailors on various planets, tradition that has carried over in recent millinia to space faring.
A View Worth Paying For
Satellite HB-77A is a beloved and well known location for viewing Relios. HB-77A, known more colloquially as The Nest, is able to get unimpeded views of the nebula during Habos' apoposis. An excursion to the Nest would cost the average worker the equivalent of ten years wages.
