The Vultar Nebula was a part of the Arrowhead region in the Slice portion of the Core Worlds. In 4250 BBY, a group of Dark Jedi activated a set of machines that were thought to have been used by the enigmatic, long-disappeared Celestials to construct the Vultar system. The activation of those devices, however, destroyed the entire system, leading to the creation of the Vultar Nebula. In 1 BBY, the Obroan Institute for Archaeology researcher Doctor Insmot Bowen participated in a Galactic Empire debriefing on the Celestials and noted to the Imperial authorities present that travel to the nebula was regrettably interdicted.
The Vultar Nebula was originally meant to be mentioned in the 2012 reference book The Essential Guide to Warfare by Jason Fry and Paul R. Urquhart; however, the section that would have mentioned the nebula was cut before the book's release. The information regarding the Vultar Nebula was later released in 2013 as part of Star Wars: The Essential Guide to Warfare Author's Cut, a series of articles published on the StarWars.com Blog by Fry and Del Rey editor Erich Schoeneweiss containing various cut content from The Essential Guide to Warfare. The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas placed the Vultar system, and therefore the Vultar Nebula, in grid square L-10.
