The Cygnus Nebula: Veil Sector as seen on the Colonial Sector Map
The Veil Sector is an area of the Cygnus Nebula where the game is located.
Both the Colonial and Cylon Fleets became stranded in the unexplored area of space, at the very edge of one of the galactic arms when they suffered an overload to their FTL engines. It was caused by an unknown massive pulse of energy which triggered an uncontrolled jump that threw both fleets far off course.
