Xurtag's Crown Nebula is a small, yet dense nebula located at the edge of the Dhragolon Expanse about 300 lightyears from the Line of Demarcation. The name comes from an ancient Yallvusian monarch Xurtag the Strong, father of Yanya of the Fields.

Although most of the nebula is in control of the Union of Eteno Socialist States, they had never actually given a proper name to the nebula having only mapped out the star systems around the nebula's edge. Older Vaikan star charts dating as far back as nearly a thousand years ago had identified the nebula as Xurtag's Crown Nebula. With the large Vaikan population in the area, the Eteno eventually adopted the name for the nebula as it became commonly used among its inhabitants.
