Biography
After confronting the Cinzia, which self-destructed, Nebula found among the wreckage the starship's navicomp and a droid nest that produced hexes. He returned the find to Hutt matriarch Tassaa Bareesh, who decided to put it up for auction. The auction called the attention of the Mandalorian Dao Stryver; the Galactic Republic, which sent diplomatic envoy Ula Vii&mdash;who was actually an Imperial spy; the Jedi Order, which sent Padawan Shigar Konshi and ex-special forces trooper Larin Moxla; and the Sith Empire, which dispatched Sith Lord Darth Chratis, Chratis' apprentice, Eldon Ax, and the envoy Ia Nirvin. At Tassaa Bareesh's palace, Nebula met with Vii, realizing quickly that the man was not actually working for the Republic. However, they were both captured and interrogated briefly by Stryver, before they were caught in the middle of a large skirmish in the palace, when the droid nest produced hexes that attacked the Jedi and Sith who had been attempting to get to the treasure, as well as all of the Republic and Imperial reinforcements.

Afterward, Nebula took Vii, Konshi, Moxla, and Hetchkee&mdash;the sole surviving member of Vii's security detail&mdash;aboard the Auriga Fire to find the planet of the hexes' origin. Their search led them to Sebaddon, a world orbiting a black hole. When Republic forces arrived soon after, the fleet was attacked by hexes from the planet; and as Imperial ships arrived, they were attacked, too. The Republic and Imperial forces were then called by Stryver&mdash;who had been watching the events unfold from Sebaddon's moon&mdash;to form an alliance in order to destroy the hexes before they could take over the galaxy, as the hexes were multiplying in number very quickly. Nebula then took Vii, who had been chosen to command the mission, aboard the Auriga Fire and watched the events unfold, assisting the envoy and spy in his job. During the ensuing battle, however, the Republic and Imperial ship's refused to cooperate with Vii's exact orders, because they wanted to keep most of their firepower in reserve in case they were betrayed by their allies. Nebula then had his droid, Clunker, hack into the Republic and Imperial ships' codes and take control of the entire fleet, controlling the ships and forcing them to carry out their orders. The battle was eventually won, but Nebula ejected Vii from the Auriga Fire airlock onto a shuttle passing by below. Nebula then left to attend to other business.

Personality and traits
"I'm not power-mad like you. There might be money to be had in empire building, but never at the top. You only end up on the wrong end of a coup, or an invasion, or a sniper's rifle."
