Protostars are celestial bodies that precede the formation of stars.
History and specifics[]
Protostars produce very high amounts of radiation and are possessed of gravity wells, including associated space-time anomalies. (TOS video game: Starfleet Academy Starship Bridge Simulator)
Jadzia Dax had studied protostars, research that was put to practical use on a mission during the Dominion War. Jadzia's research would enable the USS Defiant to pass safely through the Argolis Cluster. (DS9 episode: "Behind the Lines")
