Interstellar cloud

An interstellar cloud is the generic name given to an accumulation of gas, plasma, and dust in our and other galaxies. Put simply, an interstellar cloud is a denser-than-average region of the interstellar. Some interstellar clouds are loose and can only be viewed from within or far away. Others are much denser, such as the Static Zone, and can create low visibility for spacefarers travelling through the region.
