Beta Canopus

Beta Canopus was a planet that held a supply of strobolin. Strobolin was a naturally occurring pharmaceutical drug, found on only a few planets in the Milky Way Galaxy. It was used to treat choriocytosis in Vulcans and other races with blood not based on iron.

The starship USS Potemkin (NCC-1657) visited Beta Canopus in 2270 to obtain strobolin that was to be shipped to the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) by way of the freighter Huron.
