Cerberus Crisis

The Cerberus Crisis was a disaster at the Cerberus colony on Cerberus II which threatened the lives of Federation colonists in the 23rd century.

History
The Cerberus Crisis was a devastating crop failure in 2259. Half of the colonists would have died, but wealthy philanthropist Carter Winston averted famine by paying to have enough food shipped there to last them through the season. 


 * The event was named in the novelization.

The crisis occurred during the time Joanna McCoy lived with her mother Jocelyn Treadway at the colony.
