We consider the steady states of a gas between two parallel plates that is ionized by a strong electric field so as to create a plasma. We use global bifurcation theory to prove that there is a curve $ \mathcal{K} $ of such states with the following property. The curve begins at the sparking voltage and either the particle density becomes unbounded or the curve ends at the anti-sparking voltage.

Keywords: Hyperbolic-parabolic-elliptic coupled system, boundary value problem, global bifurcation, gas discharge, sparking voltage.
