The Vulpinus Nebula was a nebula located in the Expansion Region of the galaxy.

History[]

Shortly before the Battle of Endor, Admiral Gallius Rax was sent to the Vulpinus Nebula aboard the Super Star Destroyer Ravager by Galactic Emperor Sheev Palpatine.^[4] After the Rebellion on Akiva, Rax remained stationed in the Vulpinus Nebula. By that point, he had been promoted to an Imperial Fleet Admiral.^[2]

By 5 ABY,^[5] the Vulpinus Nebula became the refuge for a large Imperial fleet led by Grand Admiral Rae Sloane, who served as a figurehead for Rax. Rax and Sloane convened the first Shadow Council meeting in the Vulpinus Nebula.^[6]

After the attack on Chandrila, Rax took control of the Imperial fleet in the Vulpinus Nebula and ordered it and the other Imperial fleets he commanded to assemble above the planet Jakku for a showdown with the New Republic.^[6] Imperial survivors would use the Vulpinus Nebula as a refuge after the fall of the Galactic Empire.^[3]
