Infiltration into the Cloud Tombs of Praxius

The Infiltration into the Cloud Tombs of Praxius was a mission undertaken by Nebula at Thanos' behest in order to search for the Orb in Praxius IX.
==Background==
Thanos took in Gamora and Nebula during his quest to unite the Infinity Stones and use them to kill half of all life in the universe.Avengers: Infinity War This led to an estranged relationship between Gamora and Nebula, as the two of them consistently fought to prove they were the better fighter. Gamora won most of the time, causing Thanos to replace a part of Nebula's body with mechanics each time.
Thanos, believing the Orb and the Power Stone that was inside of it was in the Cloud Tombs of Praxius, sent Gamora and Nebula to retrieve it.Guardians of the Galaxy Prelude
==Infiltration==
Nebula ignored her order from Korath to wait for Gamora to arrive and began descending onto Praxius IX. Although some of her suit failed to deploy in time to protect her, Nebula activated her glider in time to slow her descent. As she neared the Cloud Tombs of Praxius, she became the target of the Tombs' defense system, which she confused by creating holographic clones of herself. She drilled into the tomb, but did not find the Orb. Her arm became ensnared by a Laser Thorn Energy Net, and Gamora arrived to incapacitate her captors. Under Thanos' orders, Gamora gave Nebula a blade and left her behind. Nebula cut her arm off and escaped the Tombs.
==Aftermath==
Nebula and Gamora continued to resent each other, and Thanos continued to search for the Orb. Ronan the Accuser found the Orb on Morag, and sent Korath to retrieve it, but Peter Quill got to it first. Gamora joined Quill and other outlaws to sell the Orb to the Collector, but Ronan got hold of it and nearly destroyed the planet Xandar, but the Guardians of the Galaxy stopped him and left the Orb in the Nova Corps's custody. Thanos later retrieved the Orb from Xandar after attacking the planet himself.
