Nexus Quotes

So I came to the realization that I've never actually seen a quote or passage that directly states that a Nexus (light or dark) negatively affects individuals of the opposite Force alignment. Does anybody have any of these quotes? Because up until this point I've really just been trusting you people's word on this topic.

We have a thread for this, you know? Anyway, here:

Characters with a connection to the Force can feel the ever-present evil that permeates a dark side site. Characters who have levels in a Force user class might experience challenges, tests, temptation, or even visions while within the influence of a dark side site. Staying focused, calling on the light side of the Force, even keeping one's own fear in check proves difficult inside the dark emanations of such a location. For this reason, characters sometimes have a harder time concentrating, using skills, defending themselves, or making attacks while bathed in the aura of a dark side site.

It's also stated in Revan, when Surik arrives in DK, I think. But yeah go to the pinned thread you dumb****.

There's also this, which specifically refers to DS nexuses.

Those connected to the light side of the Force find their powers diminished in these places, while those who wield the dark side are amazed at the strength that they gain, even as that energy overwhelms them.

-- The Jedi Training Academy Manual

And yeah, you ****ers should start using the pinned thread. ✅

What about dark siders on a light side nexus?

That's never stated. Probably because LS nexues are pretty much never depicted (I only recall the TFU novel or comic, whichever one it was).

As far as I know (and this is supported by the paragraph preceding the quote I posted above), there's only supposed to be Force nexuses, which are natural, and dark side nexuses, which are corrupt versions of Force nexuses.

Nah LS nexuses exist, Felucia is one of them.

Yeah, per that one source which introduced a completely new concept.

Don't expect sourcebooks to be following up on that.

Plagueis mentioned the Jedi had turned the galaxy into a light side nexus. Or at least that's how I interpreted it.

Where?

Where an extremely low midi-chlorian count might have bolstered the odds of survival, nature had instead made the ysalimir species strong in the Force. So strong, in fact, that several of the creatures acting in concert could create a Force bubble encompassing kilometers rather than meters. In a sense, the Jedi Order had done the same on a galactic scale, Plagueis believed, by bathing the galaxy in the energy of the light side of the Force; or more accurately by fashioning a Force bubble that had prevented infiltration by the dark side, until Tenebrous's Master had succeeded in bursting the bubble, or at least shrinking it. How the Order's actions could be thought of as balancing the Force had baffled generations of Sith, who harbored no delusions regarding the Force's ability to self-regulate.

-Darth Plagueis

He literally says right after that that a more accurate way of putting it would be "fashioning a Force bubble that prevented infiltration by the dark side".

The Jedi Temple is also described as a LS nexus in RotS novel and "light side vergences" are described in FFG's sourcebooks.

That doesn't preclude it being of the light side. 😬

Which is basically just a fancy way of saying a light side nexus.

EDIT: Ninja'd.

Quotes? I remember someone tried to offer a quote for the RotS novel saying it was an LS nexus.

Are they stated to hinder dark siders?

That doesn't indicate that either.

Although I suppose on a historical basis it could well count as a light side nexus.

Yes it does, lol. What else could prevent the "infiltration of the dark side", than the light?
