The Murasaki objects, first observed in the early 21st century, were quasar-like phenomena that were thought to be rarified gas clouds illuminated by synchotron radiation.[1] Murasaki 312 was first explored in 2207 by the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701. A shuttle with a science team aboard, sent to study the so-called "Murasaki Effect," was forced to crash-land on Taurus II, a planet in one of the several star systems within the phenomenon, by unexpected interference with the shuttle's systems caused by the nebula's radiation,[2] which peaked at unpredictable intervals, the most intense of which was at a wavelength of 485nm.[1] There, they discovered a hostile, indigenous hominid population, and only escaped the planet after suffering heavy losses.[2] Murasaki phenomena were noted to have a Warning of W-176: the phenomena were known to interfere with the electronic sensor and guidance equipment of nearby spacecraft, with the peak effect lasting as long as twenty-four hours.[1]
