The Dark Nebula Empire, or Black Nebula Empire, Black Star Cluster Empire, are an alien faction introduced in Space Battleship Yamato III and featured in the films Yamato: The New Voyage and Be Forever Yamato.
Overview[]
The Dark Nebula Empire consists of a race of cybernetic humanoids whose skin ranges from light blue to a silver-white and their eyes are either bright blue or red. They are a highly advanced species with a large empire originating from the metal planet Dezarium in their namesake Dark Nebula, a double-galaxy 200,000 light years from Earth that blocks out starlight. With their advanced technology and cybernetics, they have given up the pleasures of flesh and bone in exchange for agelessness and longevity.
Individuals are either called Nebulians or Dezarians depending on localization, the latter term is after their original homeworld.

The Dark Nebula Empire’s mighty fleet is extremely powerful, as their warships are armed with very destructive firepower, and armor technology that is superior to the previously encountered enemies that Earth has faced in the past.
The Dark Nebula Empire’s own fleet includes many classifications of ships ranging from non-combatant, to fighters, bombers, escorts, cruisers, battleships, super battleships, dreadnoughts, to massive mobile fortress motherships armed to the teeth. The typical color schemes of most of the Dark Nebula Empire’s warships ranges from blackish colors mixed with usually red and occasionally orange.
