This class 17 nebula , initially described as a gaseous anomaly , was encountered by " Voyager " in early 2373 . Apart from the typical amounts of hydrogen and helium , this nebula also had an unusually large amount of sirillium , 7 , 000 parts per million . To the naked eye , it was very similar in appearance to the class 11 Azure Nebula near Klingon space , though technically it was very different . ( ) Class K nebula .

After her death , Jetal was fired towards this nebula . ( ) Kes ' post - departure point nebula . This nebula was located 9 , 500 light years from Borg space . The " Voyager " reached this nebula in 2374 when Kes moved it ten year s closer to Earth . ( ) Komar dark matter nebula . This nebula , containing several planetoid s , was first encountered when Chakotay and Tuvok returned from a trade mission in 2371 . The non - corporeal Komar considered it their domain . ( ) Milky way nebula . This nebula was located in the Milky Way Galaxy , either in or near the Delta Quadrant . In 2374 , while introducing astrometrics aboard " Voyager " , the monitor displayed this nebula . ( ) Mutara class nebula . This nebula became subject of The Doctor ' s holo - photography while he pilot ed the " Delta Flyer II " . When the shuttle later encountered a subspace eddy , The Doctor suggested that it was probably just the gravimetric shear coming from the nebula . ( ) Mutara class nebula ( radioactive ) . This nebula was toxic to most humanoid s , was 110 light years across , and 60 , 000 light years from Earth . It would take an starship one month to travel through it and one year to travel around it at maximum warp . In 2374 , " Voyager " put its crew in stasis and went through the nebula in a month - long journey . ( ) Nyrian system interstellar cloud . The Nyrian system allegedly contained a large cloud of interstellar dust just beyond its fifth planet . ( ) Ocampa - neighboring nebula . This nebula was located relative to the planet and identified as being 75 , 000 light years away from Earth . When " Voyager " began its journey back to Earth in 2371 , it flew through this nebula when it went to maximum warp . ( ) Post - Borg nebula . Following an incident with the Borg Collective , " Voyager " passed by this nebula at sublight speed . ( ) Unknown nebula . This nebula was located near a moon . " Voyager " flew through this nebula at warp at some point in the 24th century . ( " , opening credits " ) Vaadwaur nebula . This nebula was located near the junction of underspace corridors 39 and 875 . It contained a planet that Gedrin proposed to be the new homeworld of his species in 2376 . ( )
