Carson's World

Carson's World is a planet within the Organian Treaty Zone in the Alpha or Beta Quadrant of the galaxy.

History
In 2269, the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) escorted a convoy of empty ore freighters en route to Carson's World. Once there, four million metric tons of heavy chromium and other duralloy ores were loaded onto the freighters, which then proceeded to Bethulia III. The Enterprise was diverted to another assignment by Starfleet Science's Vice Admiral Julianna van Leeuwenhook. 

Van Leeuwenhook arranged for another starship to escort the convoy the rest of the way from Carson's World to Bethulia III.
