Cestus System

The Cestus System is a stellar system containing at least planets, one of which is Cestus III. In the year 2267, the United Federation of Planets established an Earth outpost on Cestus III without first alerting the Gorn Hegemony to their presence. As a result, the Gorn raided Cestus III, destroying the outpost. Captain James Kirk of the USS Enterprise pursued the Gorn warship across the Cestus system, ultimately coming to a halt due to the intervention of a highly-evolved race of aliens known as the Metrons.
