The Briar Patch

The Briar Patch, known to Klingons as Klach D'kel Brakt, was a region in Sector 441, in the Beta Quadrant.

The colloquial “Briar Patch” name used in the Federation was first coined by criminal geneticist Arik Soong in the 22nd century, a reference to an Earth story involving Br'er Rabbit.

This region was known for containing dangerous space matter, including the remains of supernovae, false vacuum fluctuations, metaphasic radiation, and at least two habitable planets, one of which was settled by the Ba'ku. Ships in the vicinity had to travel at less than one-third impulse power to avoid overheating the vessel’s impulse manifolds. According to admiral Dougherty, ships entering the region preferably were specially fitted for it. (via Memory-Alpha)
