The Mutara Nebula was an interstellar dust cloud located in the Mutara sector (Beta Quadrant).
This nebula contained high levels of static discharge, and was comprised largely of ionized gases.
- The combined effect of these two gas causes a starship's sensors to be highly unreliable, and shields inoperable while inside the nebula.
In 2285, it was the site of the horrific Battle of the Mutara Nebula.
- The battle ended when Khan Noonien Singh detonated the experimental Genesis Device inside the nebula, causing matter within it to re-form into the Genesis Planet.
The nebula classification Mutara class was named after this nebula, and its properties were used as the model for this class.
- In March of 2285, the nebula ceased to exist when the Genesis Device detonated.
