Babel was the code-name for an inhabited neutral planet of the Alpha Quadrant. This planet was used by the United Earth, and later the United Federation of Planets, as a venue for conferences, which were mediated in council chambers. (TOS: "Journey to Babel"; TAS: "The Counter-Clock Incident"; ENT: "Babel One")
Location
Babel was located in the same sector as Vulcan. Relative to Tellar Prime, Babel was located on the far side of Andorian space. (TOS: "Journey to Babel"; (ENT: "Babel One")
In 2293, the location of Babel in the Milky Way Galaxy was labeled in the star chart The Explored Galaxy, which was on display in James T. Kirk's quarters aboard the USS Enterprise-A. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, okudagram)
In 2367, the location of Babel was labeled on a tactical situation monitor in Captain Benjamin Maxwell's ready room on the USS Phoenix. (TNG: "The Wounded", okudagram)
In 2366, in an alternate timeline, during the Federation-Klingon War, the location of Babel was labeled on a tactical situation monitor in the ready room aboard the USS Enterprise-D (TNG: "Yesterday's Enterprise", okudagram)
History
The planet was planned to host negotiations to settle trade disputes between the Andorians and the Tellarites and mediated by Starfleet on behalf of United Earth in 2154.
