The emission-line object S103, first classified as a planetary nebula belonging to the Large Magellanic Cloud, is in fact an H II-region-type dwarf galaxy with velocity 10,400 km s-1. The abundances of oxygen and neon are quite similar to the SMC ones, but nitrogen is at least twice as abundant as in SMC, while helium is probably more abundant too. This object has the largest N/O ratio of the published sample of metal-poor galaxies, thus suggesting it had a quite different evolutionary history of intermediate-mass stars.
