Cosmic String Fragment

A swarm of two-dimensional beings, which was 107 km long and one proton wide, with gravitational fields as powerful as a large black hole or 100 smaller stars, was instinctively drawn to a cosmic string fragment. The fragment emitted a characteristic set of subspace frequencies as atomic particles decayed along its event horizon, which were duplicated by the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D‘s parabolic dish to confuse the two-dimensional beings and halt them long enough to break free of their graviton field wake.[1]

Cheron

Site of a battle with the United Federation of Planets in the Omicron Gruis System,[3] which was considered a “humiliating” defeat by the Romulans, according to Admiral Jarok. It led to the creation of the Neutral Zone and thus likely the climax of the Romulan War in 2161.[2] By coincidence, it was also the name of a long-dead world where a group of two advanced races destroyed each other over racial bigotry, not encountered by the UFP until 2268.[1]

Cerebus II

A planet whose natives developed a rejuvenation process for the body, although it is often accompanied by pain and a high mortality rate. The Cerebrusians usually kept it from outworlders, but shared the secret with Admiral Mark Jameson after he negotiated a treaty for the planet.[1]
