The Cerberus system was an inhabited planetary system which was located somewhere in the Alpha or Beta Quadrant. A colony was established on Cerberus by the United Federation of Planets prior to 2259. Cerberus II was the homeworld of the Cerebusians.
Carter Winston helped save the Federation citizens of Cerberus colony, including Joanna McCoy, from a supply shortage. (TAS: "The Survivor")
In the mid-24th century, Mark Jameson visited Cerberus II on several diplomatic missions for treaty negotiations. (TNG: "Too Short A Season")
StarTrek.com stated that the Cerberus system was named after the Greek mythical guardian of the gates to Hades, the great three-headed dog-like monster Cerberus. [1](X)
The Star Trek: Star Charts ("United Federation of Planets II"), connected Cerberus to Eta Lupi. This was a trinary star system visible from Earth in the constellation Lupus and was approximately 440 light years from Sol.
