- Nexus Zero is a location in the Beast Wars portion of the Generation 1 continuity family
Nexus Zero is a location associated with the Vok, presumably their home. It doesn't seem to be a planet, but rather a nebula where the Vok float around, talk, and keep their kidnapped victims in stasis.
There are other nexi, all part of a wormhole network facilitating travel across the galaxy. The only other specific one known is Nexus Earth, but that pathway was destroyed by the Metal Hunter's explosion. Because of this, Tigerhawk would be sent to Earth via a comet-like vessel instead.<sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-0" title="">[1]</a></sup>
