Nova of Madagon

The Nova of Madagon is a spacial location lying somewhere between the Twelve Colonies and the planet Carillon.

It is not actually a nova at all, but is a starfield of intense, blinding brightness; this "nova" also causes electronic equipment problems for smaller craft. The Straits of Madagon, a passage within this area of space, were mined by the Cylons, though these are cleared by a group of three Vipers lead by Captain Apollo ^{(TOS: "Saga of a Star World")}.

Notes

The interior of the nova was created using a one-watt laser reflected from multiple surfaces^[1], in particular Richard Edlund's Saturn Award trophy that he received for his work on 1977's Star Wars.^[2]
