Far out in space, our hero's Cool Starship is on the run from the Big Bad and hides out in a nebula/gas field/whatever and is obscured from their pursuer's sensors. It's a misty realm where you may not even be able to see your own hand in front of your face. This trope is about what seems to be a common theme in nearly all Science Fiction shows: a (nearly) human-scale cloud that is inexplicably stable in space. To add to the drama, the cloud may also contain dangerous weather, with lightning bolts and the like. In reality, nebulae and other "clouds" of interstellar matter are extremely sparse — they have only about one atom of matter per cubic centimeter of space. That's a trillion trillion times less dense than the matter you could expect to find on Earth or in a star. The only reason these nebulae appear cloudlike to us is their immense size and distance. A nebula can be many light years across, regardless of how compact it may look from Earth. This trope has grown in popularity in direct proportion to the number and quality of images returned by the Hubble Space Telescope (and other observatories). It's quickly becoming a case of Reality Is Unrealistic. See Analysis for a comparison with real-life nebulae. Compare Asteroid Thicket. Trope name is a meta-example of Space "X". An example of both Space Is Air (it's acting that way), and Space Is an Ocean (maritime tropes of drifting into dense fog being directly transposed onto spacefaring). |

The various Homeworld games have mission areas which take place inside nebulae, and they are often used story-wise as cover against detection. Areas inside nebulae often contain wisp-like strands of stellar gas that function as harvestable resources. | |

In Master of Orion 2, nebulae greatly reduce the cruising speed of ships passing through them unless the fleet is accompanied by a leader with the "Navigator" trait. They also disable shields that haven't been properly upgraded, when battling around planets in star systems located inside a nebula. | |

Nebulae show up in the X-Universe games. They're all extremely dense (with a few exceptions), sometimes limiting visibility down to 10 kilometers. In the Albion Prelude expansion pack for Terran Conflict, the nebulae's visibility obstructing effect is removed, making them atmospheric effects that don't affect visibility. The Xtended Terran Conflict mod likewise mostly removes obstructive nebulae, but one sector, Tortuga, has such thick yellow clouds that it's often impossible to see the entirety of a capital ship — visibility it something like 1.5 kilometers (in a game where most capital ships are 2 or more kilometers long). Better keep a close eye on your gravidar. | |

Freelancer has numerous nebulae that the player can travel through. One system even has a light blue nebula enveloping the entire system, looking like a bright, sunny day on Earth. Each region of Sirius, except for Liberty, is located near a specific type of nebula. Bretonia has the Barrier, a huge bluish-white cloud of ice crystals. Kusari has the Crow Nebula, the aforementioned blue nebula composed of ionized hydrogen, oxygen and helium. Rheinland has the Walker Nebula, which is made up of yellow clouds with mineral rich asteroid fields. The Edge World systems have the Edge Nebula, a mysterious green cloud full of alien organisms, artifacts and Nomads. And they're all drop dead gorgeous. |

In Escape Velocity, systems in the Serpens Nebula can have varying degrees of sensor-jamming interference that continually obscures the view screen. The sequels both have other nebulae, generally with a sensor-jamming interference. It should be noted that interference is the right word — it is represented as static of varying intensity covering the screen. Actual murk is a separate and somewhat rarer feature (although it does tend to show up in deep nebulae). | |

In the Mass Effect series, most nebulae are just there as pretty colours on the sector scale of the Galactic Map, and disappear once you zoom in to the star-system level. Some exceptions exist, though: The Serpent Nebula around the Citadel is a regular pea-souper which obscures the massive station for a dramatic reveal as you fly in — and is therefore noted as being blatantly artificial, and the subject of much speculation as to why someone would go to so much effort to keep it that way. It's there to cut the Citadel off once the Reapers succeed in shutting down the Mass Relay network. Also notable is the completely opaque Perseus Veil surrounding geth space. |

FreeSpace has nebulae that look like really thick technicolor soup when you fly through them, obscuring things from your radar except at close range, and limiting sight range to under a kilometer.

Star Trek: Lower Decks: "Old Friends, New Planets" features an ion storm in the climax, as Mariner is forced to enter it when Nova Fleet, an independent fleet Nick Locarno has formed by convincing ambitious lower deckers to mutiny, corners her outside, despite the danger it represents; at least if she's ripped apart, Locarno won't get the Genesis Device she stole back. Only Locarno is determined (read: crazy) enough to follow her inside. The ion storm, and everything within, is transformed into a new planet when the Genesis Device goes off. | |

Mostly justified with the "Provcon-Fist", a proper dark nebula in the Perry Rhodan universe that the ex-Terran resistance movement of the 36th century uses to hide from the forces occupying the galaxy after Earth has already vacated its solar system for parts unknown to those left behind. It's a reasonably proper mostly-globular nebula actually large enough to hold several stars and their associated planets of its own, and what makes it basically impossible to navigate aren't so much its properties in normal spacetime as the fact that it presents an always ongoing "storm front" in hyperspace, through which any ships must necessarily travel and where with about two plot-relevant exceptions only "native" guides with the right Psychic Powers can find their way safely. | |

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: In the first book, Zaphod claims that the inside of a nebula is the only place you'd see a completely blank viewport. Mind you, this is Zaphod talking, but the screen actually is blank until they adjust the view. Such perfect cover is very, very improbable: any random point selected within any random nebula is liable to have stars, if rather occluded stars, visible in some directions. The notion that the nebula has been providing this perfect cover to the stars Solianis and Rahm for five million years is even more improbable. In Life, the Universe and Everything, the Krikkit people have never seen stars and are entirely unaware of the night sky specifically because their planet lives inside a cloud of Hactar's debris. In this case, Trillian notes the incredible improbability of the entire situation and deduces that an outside intelligence is behind the whole thing. |

Stellaris has nebulae as a type of star system "terrain," like pulsars or black holes, and the galactic map has several named nebulae that encompass several systems. The upside is that you can harvest resources from a nebula with the proper space station module, the downside is that outside sensors cannot penetrate the nebular cloud, so the only way to see what's in one is by sending in one or more ships. This makes a nebula a natural place to spring an ambush on a fleet moving along the galaxy's Hyperspace Lanes. | |

Star Trek: Voyager: The early episode "The Cloud" has Voyager attempting to harvest replicator resources from a space cloud (Janeway: "There's coffee in that nebula!"), which turns out to be somehow alive. In the episode "Year of Hell", the crippled Voyager hides inside a nebula so dense that it produces a visible fog inside the ship's corridors, on account of the ship being too damaged to otherwise keep the stuff out. (This implies that the nebula is denser than the atmosphere inside the ship.) Captain Janeway even orders the hull breaches sealed to avoid having an "indoor nebula." In the opening credits, Voyager passes though a cloud just a few kilometers thick, yet dense enough to see. |

Babylon 5 mostly contented itself with pretty false-color nebulae as distant space backgrounds, but in the climactic "Into the Fire" episode there was a space battle zipping around the Pillars of Creation in the Eagle Nebula, one of Hubble's most famous photos. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: "The Best of Both Worlds" has the Enterprise take refuge in a dense nebula to hide from the Borg. The Borg can't find them, so they resort to launching charges into the nebula to drive Enterprise out. In "Chain of Command", the Cardassians hide their ships in a corrosive nebula in preparation for a surprise attack. Enterprise gets wind of this and attaches mines to their hulls, which thanks to the corrosion will not withstand the blast. They're quick to acquiesce once it's made clear their ships can be destroyed with the press of a button. |
