Sector Y

CLASSIFICATION Nebula

INTEL Sector Y is one of three unique space-dust formations found within the Lylat System and so named for the Y-like shape it takes. While all three nebulae are known for their radioactive storms and anomalous magnetic activity, Sector Y's tend to be somewhat less dramatic than those found in Sector X and Sector Z.

Still, Sector Y's unusual environment is not without hazard and has been known to wreak havoc on ships passing through the region. Vessels traveling through Sector Y frequently report limited communications, malfunctioning sensors, and other unusual phenomena. Numerous wrecks have been reported and thus casual and commercial travel through this dense cluster of luminous space dust is generally not recommended.

ASSESSMENT Though the risks are many, the nebula's position and radio interference make it a temping candidate for use as a corridor for covert wartime operations. Evaluators are currently assessing whether the Corneria Defense Force might use Sector Y to move the fleet into position against the enemy.
