The book which was an inspiration to Captain Jonathan Archer in his childhood.
In 2151, the NX-class starship Enterprise NX-01 and a Vulcan civilian transport vessel, the Vahklas, completed a survey of the nebula. The crew of the vessels found that it was actually more than 8 billion kilometers in diameter, not 6.5 billion.
