Ariannus was a Federation M-class planet in the Beta Quadrant. It was a vital transfer point for commercial traffic, and had a population of billions. (TOS: "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield", TNG: "Conspiracy")
In 2268, Ariannus was infected by a bacterial invasion that threatened to destroy all life on the planet. The crew of the USS Enterprise conducted an orbital decontamination mission to save the planet's inhabitants. (TOS: "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield")
Ariannus was mentioned as a small note on a very large star chart graphic created for TNG: "Conspiracy". It was the image behind the chair in the room where Dexter Remmick was killed. It appeared to be located within an outlined block, which may indicate that it was surrounded or was even a part of Federation territory at the time. It appeared to be near Beta Niobe.
In the episode, Captain James Kirk said, when speaking to Bele, ...you are new to this part of the galaxy, which is governed by the United Federation of Planets. This would support the theory that the blocks represent areas under the Federation sphere of influence.
