The Mantis planet was an otherwise unnamed planet about a day's travel at warp speed away from Angoma, somewhere in the galaxy's Alpha or Beta Quadrant. It was the homeworld of the Mantis species and appeared blue from orbit.
History[]
In the 2260s, the Mantis began using their long distance transporter to kidnap Angomans for their zoo.
In 2266, Mantises abducted a landing party from the USS Enterprise. David Bailey followed the source of the transporter beam to the Mantis planet. A rescue party armed with non-lethal weapons landed a space bug near the Mantis zoo and stormed it to search for their missing personnel. (TOS comic: "Beware the Beast")
