Proton

The proton is one of the three basic particles that make up the baryonic atom. It is a baryon (heavy particle), a hadron, a strongly-interacting, and one of two s (the other is the neutron). It is composed of two up and one down quark, for a total charge of +1. Its antiparticle is the antiproton.

Cosmic strings are no wider than a proton, but have gravitational fields as powerful as a black hole. 

Protons were found in the Denorios belt that were emitted by the Bajoran wormhole. 

In 2372, the crew of USS Voyager found themselves being bombarded by protons after Q reduced them and their ship to subatomic proportions in an attempt to escape from Q. Captain Janeway suggested releasing a positive ion charge to repel the protons, but the crew and ship were transported from that location before the attempt was made. 

Later that year, B'Elanna Torres infused Voyager's warp core with proton bursts from the sensor array in an attempt to compensate for a drain in their antimatter supply. However, the drain was caused by a duplicate Voyager formed when the ship traveled through a divergence field, and the proton bursts caused severe damage to the other ship. 

A set of binary pulsars encountered by Voyager in 2374 emitted random proton bursts, which Lieutenant Commander Tuvok believed might pose a hazard to the ship's shields.
