Argelius II

Argelius II was a Class-M Federation planet located in the Beta Quadrant, and is home to the Argelians.

In the early 11th century, intense planetary conflict raged on Argelius, which nearly resulted in the annihilation of all life on the planet. Slowly, the Argelians began to recognise the danger of their actions and begin to turn to a life of peace, whoever this was a very slow process and the "Great Awakening" of the Argelians did not occur until the late 21st century. (The Worlds of the Federation).

As the Argelians began to rebuild their world and their society, Argelius began to look like a paradise and by the late 22nd century began to attract visitors from all other the Alpha and Beta Quadrants, with its most frequent visitor being people from the Federation, and in the 2220s, Argelius joined the Federation. (Star Trek Maps).

By the 2250s and 2260s, Argelius was a popular destination for Starfleet officers to take shore leave with its varieties of bars and casino's, as well as the excellent weather and friendly culture. (TOS episode: "Wolf in the Fold", and novel: The Klingon Gambit).

In 2267, several murders were committed on Argelius, including the Prefect's wife. Although Lieutenant Commander Montgomey Scott of the USS Enterprise was implicated in the murders, it was later revealed to be the entity known as Redjac, who had assumed control of Chief Investigator Hengist. (TOS episode: "Wolf in the Fold").
