The Perseus Arm is one of many curved "arms" of the Milky Way Galaxy which contains many spatial objects including stars, planets, and nebulae.
Between 2253 and 2260, the Federation starship USS Algol performed an extensive survey of the Perseus Arm. (Ship Recognition Manual, Volume 4: Starships of the Original Series Era)
In 2410, Starfleet Command assigned the Visionary-class starship USS Witch of Endor and her sister ships, the USS Cassandra and USS Merlin to traverse the expanse to the Perseus Arm as part of the Perseus Project. (Chronicle)
