Angel I was the inhabited first planet of the Angel system. The planet was located in the Beta Quadrant and was approximately 101 light years from Sol. This remote planet was located close to the Federation-Romulan border and was of strategic importance to the United Federation of Planets.
Angel I was a M-class planet and the homeworld of a humanoid species. The planet supported carbon-based flora and fauna and was sparsely populated with intelligent life. The planet had no platinum deposits. (TNG: "Angel One")

Background information[]
The original planet model for Angel I was used later to represent Minos in TNG: "The Arsenal of Freedom", Theta VIII in TNG: "The Royale", and Legara IV in TNG: "Sarek".
The matte painting used for the capital city was later reused for Starbase 515 ("Samaritan Snare"), a Malcorian city ("First Contact"), a Kriosian city ("The Mind's Eye"), Klaestron city ("Dax"), and a Banean city ("Ex Post Facto").
In the Star Trek Encyclopedia, 4th ed., vol. 2, p. 54, the remote and unpopulated region to which Ramsey and his followers were exiled to was named Mortania.
The current location of Angel I in the Beta Quadrant was based on the most recent star charts seen in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and Star Trek: Section 31.
