The Seldowitch Nebula located in the Formorian Frontier region, around 54,000 LY from Earth.

The nebula glows in bright spectral lines of hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen, the glow coming from the intense radiation of the neutron star at its heart, and also from several massive stars in the vicinity.

The Lights of Alexandria, a system of two O-type stars and a Herbig Ae/Be protostar, located in the Aphelion regions about halfway between Masefield's Ocean and the Nyauthai Ripple.

These three stellar bodies total about 70 solar masses, and their combined luminosity makes the system visible from a few hundred lightyears away, making the Lights of Alexandria a prominent navigational beacon.
