A little info on exactly what you're trying to get would be helpful :)

Take a look at the fs2 intro.

Also, make SURE you have the Orion as the GTD Legion, everyone seems to think it is the Galatea...

assuming you are talking about the physical background (i.e. nebulas) all you have to do is go into the first mission of FS2 , which I beleive was in Deneb, and copy the background R-B-G numbers in and voila. Takes a while, but you'll have an exact, more or less, replica of what you want.

Well I wasn't sure if he just wanted a nubula, or the actual planet and everything.

Or do a save as of the mission and then clear all ships and events.  That seems like the easiest thing to do if you aren't comfortable editing the mission by hand.
