Extra-system, but so are nebula, are possible Oort Clouds. I believe
incredibly diffuse, but, over a sphere one third the distance to closest
neighbor system, a heck of a lot of mass. Anything recent about our own?
Evidence-inferred extra-Solar Oorts? (Sorry, having difficulty with
proper
markings; apologies to the good Professor).

  See, not really, as Nemesis was exactly the model of a kind of 'local
  condition' that might well concentrate bodies in a 'swarm' ; a
collision
  of a couple of streams of bodies should be able to create a fairly
dense
  and chaotic area for a short time as well. Definately different from
that
  previous discussion, my reply to which I decided to send to draft as
the
  dreary thread would have just dragged on.
