Casmus III was a planet located somewhere in the galaxy's Alpha or Beta Quadrants, the third planet in orbit of the Casmus star system in Federation space.
History and specifics
By the late 23rd century, in the 2280s decade, Casmus III was orbited by Starbase 42. The starship USS Enterprise-A traveled to the planet in the year 2287 on its first mission following the visit to Sha Ka Ree, on the way to the Chronian system. (TOS comics: "The Return!", "The Sentence")
