This planetary nebula has been expanding since its first discovery by Old Earth astronomers, and is now slowly fading. But in the sixth millenium AT it was at its brightest and most dense, and was the site of the main stronghold of the Daveth Tweaks and the Battle of Dumbbell (5250) which saw their defeat.
